Unable to connect to private server #37

Closed Nexlo closed 3 years ago

Nexlo commented 3 years ago

Hey guys,

I am trying to connect to my own Valheim server - unfortunately not working yet. I am using the docker image of this repository. Docker start command: docker run -d --name valheim-server -p 2456-2458:2456-2458/udp -p 2456-2458:2456-2458/tcp -v /home/nexlo/valheim-config:/config -e SERVER_NAME="NexloTest" -e WORLD_NAME="Neotopia" -e SERVER_PASS="secret" <image-path> My server gets listed here: https://southnode.net/steamquery.php If I start the same image locally, I am able to connect locally. Remote I only get the server listed (via port 2457) but unable to connect. Host-Native OS is Debian10

Any suggestions? What do I miss? Thanks in advance! :)

The tcp ports are not required but shouldn't harm either. Since you can connect locally but not remote by process of elimination it is very likely a packet filtering / firewalling issue. When you connect remotely what steps do you take? The ones described here? https://github.com/lloesche/valheim-server-docker#steam-server-favorites--lan-play

Hey @lloesche ,

thanks for your quick response!

Well, what should I say now... - its working :D - I have nothing changed - its really about the Steam-Server listing/connect... penetrating the refresh button was the solution what the....

I am used to use steam-connect links e.g. steam://connect/ (helped me with ARK servers), but in this case it seems not working well.

SumUp (if people encounter similar issues): Add your sever to your favourite list (with 2456). It may will disappear - thats when you press "refresh" as much as you can and if the server is visible double click it. Do not use port 2457 for connection/favourites. Filtering for Game: Valheim may also help if your list is too long.

@lloesche Dank nochmals! :) Saubere Lösung ohne unnötiges Zeugs ;) <3
