After the auto restart (daily or due to update), players are unable to connect

[Ricket]

This issue started probably a month or two ago. I have bepinex enabled.

I had the daily restart enabled, but every day players reported they could not connect to the server and so I had to restart the whole container.

Eventually I disabled the daily restart, and now, whenever a Valheim update happens and the container does the internal restart, again players can't connect and I have to restart the container.

I have been having this issue for the past two days, the server does the update and get stuck waiting on itself to shutdown

+1 for the issue. Server gets stuck on reboot every night

Not sure if it's a docker image issue, but can't find any reports regarding the server bugs

[XC3N]

it seems this is no longer maintained, I switched over to https://github.com/mbround18/valheim-docker, took all of 5 mins to set up and is maintained regularly

[Pysis868]

Last commit for this one is 2023-06-10. For the new one in the link, 2023-11-18, so yea. Just some other issues now.

[chewara]

same problem here. so the solution is to switch to the other docker?

[lonely-lockley]

I switched to the image supposed by @XC3N, works fine

[danielkinahan]

I'm having this issue as well. I just set up a cron job to run docker compose -f valheim/compose.yml restart
