[tenmar]

Environment

• Debian 12.5 (VM)
• Debian Bookworm (Docker)
• Debian Bookworm-Slim (Docker)

Install Methods Tried

• apt install playit

Other Notes I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET A TUNNEL WORKING USING https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/playit-gg.105566/ it is running within a server that is running via pterodactyl wings agent, and it is working flawlessly (minus support for creating tunnels to other ports on the same instance, which seems to be broken, since I always get logs pointing at the port of the minecraft server even if the other tunnels (tcp, tcp+udp) were setup to point at a different port, but that seems to be a limitation of the plugin)

I was previously using this docker image without issue. This morning the tunnel suddenly stopped working. I was able to use the tunnel for both my server and a web page serving the server map on a different port on the same machine.

Is there a reason the linux client doesn't work anymore in either VM or Docker environments, but the minecraft plugin does?

Update: Turns out my network started DNS blocking the playit gg api doman due to a DNS blocker (pi-hole) on the network. Allowlisting the domain(s) fixed the issue immediately.

To be sure: it didn't manifest until yesterday morning, I was running the proxy just fine for at least a week, and I don't have anything setup to automatically add a domain to a blocklist and hadn't updated my blocklists from external sources for some time.

In any case, the issue was on my end. Closing this.
