Current behavior

Before using this container I tried to do this: https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/server/know-how/sons-of-the-forest-server-ubuntu-2204/ (only real tutorial on sotf linux servers i could find) abandoning that idea I started: Using the docker-compose method on my linux-server getting this output:

It seems that it fails to load steam stuff and ultimately wine fails to start the server.

Desired behavior

That the container successfully start up steam. I do not know what else you need to know but i would be more than happy to provide any information you need.

Could you please share the content of your final docker-compose.yml file? Afterward, navigate to the directory where you’ve defined your volumes and execute a dd command there to check permissions.

How have you configured Docker? Are you running it as root, or are you using a user account that has been granted Docker permissions?

I uploaded the log of my sotf server here. Perhaps you could compare it with your own to identify where the differences begin.

[jammsen]

Hey @Dosendusche are you running Docker rootful or rootless? Please try a fresh container setup and try to give all your directories you try to volume-mount "chmod 777 directoryname".

Here and there a setup comes around that needs chmod 777, dunno why whats standing out in some configs and some weirdness, but may it helps.

I still consider this a security flaw though, so if this works, try to remove rights and try it again if you find the sweet-spot if you are security-concerned.

[Dosendusche]

Thanks for the answers. Just to clarify my server does not need a GPU to run this right? The final docker-compose is really just copied from here. I didn't think that it would need any changes. But anyway here it is:

version: '3.9'
services:
  sons-of-the-forest-dedicated-server:
    container_name: sons-of-the-forest-dedicated-server
    image: jammsen/sons-of-the-forest-dedicated-server:latest
    restart: always
    environment:
      ALWAYS_UPDATE_ON_START: 1
    ports:
      - 8766:8766/udp
      - 27016:27016/udp
      - 9700:9700/udp
    volumes:
      - ./steamcmd:/steamcmd
      - ./game:/sonsoftheforest
      - ./winedata:/winedata

Docker is a fresh install basically installed docker to try this. Currently i'm just sudo'ing everything. I switched to root but same result.

I just tried to remove my container and then start again with the folders set to chmod 777 sadly it still has the same issue. The log is a little different but still the same errors it seems.

    volumes:
      - ./steamcmd:/steamcmd
      - ./game:/sonsoftheforest
      - ./winedata:/winedata

./game:/sonsoftheforest means a folder game which resides in the same directory as docker-compose.yml is being mounted into the container at /sonsoftheforest.

Did you create these sub-/directories?

Check Getting started within readme.md

And no: sotf headless does not need a gpu (but throws a lot of errors because of this)

[jammsen]

@Dosendusche No - No GPU needed. Could you post me a "ls -laR" in your "root-gameserver-directory" please? And also a "cat docker-compose.yml" please.

[Dosendusche]

It worked now! I just tried this:

• deleting and recreatig the volumes as root and setting chmod 777 before ever starting docker compose.
• started docker compose as root but it got stuck while attaching to the container.
• sudoed back to my user and started docker compose up

That is currently working. Difference being I was not on rootuser first time and I did not delete the volumes for the "fresh container setup" you mentioned. So it was just me being stupid sorry. Thanks for the help guys. I will jiggle around with chmod now.

Would you still like to have the ls -laR and cat docker-compose.yml? First one is laughingly big now since it finally was able to download all the files.

[gitzec]

Congrats!

docker-compose up -d will run your composition in daemon mode.

[jammsen]

@Dosendusche Hey nice, good to hear its working. No dont need the outputs if its working.
