Hi all, I'm running a dedicated server and for the last couple months(ish? maybe even since the mistlands update?) the server hasn't shown up in the community lists, and when added manually to favorites / recent, it shows up with an X… people can connect and play on the server with no issue. I'm at a loss. I've been troubleshooting this on and off for months, so… for those of you that would take mercy and be willing to help, here's what I've got:

• self-hosted, running in a container
  • ubuntu linux & docker
  • running this: https://github.com/lloesche/valheim-server-docker
• Ports 2456-2456 udp, and 9001 tcp are forwarded to the container, and are forwarded from the router to the server
• server has 48gb, 20 threads, and plenty of storage allocated to it
• Server is also running plex in a container which is also accessible from the outside

​

My docker compose file:

version: "3"

services:

valheim:

image: ghcr.io/lloesche/valheim-server

cap_add:

– sys_nice

container_name: valheim-CONTAINERNAMEHERELOL

volumes:

– /media/dockerstorage/valheim/CONTAINERNAMEHERELOL/config:/config

– /media/dockerstorage/valheim/CONTAINERNAMEHERELOL:/opt/valheim

ports:

– "2456-2458:2456-2458/udp"

– "2456-2458:2456-2458/tcp"

– "9001:9001/tcp"

environment:

– TZ=America/Chicago

– BEPINEX=true

– SERVER_NAME=MYSERVERNAMEHERELOL

– SERVER_PASS=MYSERVERPASSWORDHERELOL

– SERVER_PUBLIC=true

– ADMINLIST_IDS=MYSTEAMIDLOLOL

– STEAMCMD_ARGS=

– WORLD_NAME=MYWORLDNAMEHERELOL

restart: always

stop_grace_period: 2m

​

While there are a few warnings in the log file about shaders and such which are normal the only thing that -seems- like it may be relevant to the server not allowing for server browsing are:

Feb 21 12:41:38 supervisord: valheim-server 02/21/2023 12:41:38: Login postponed until ID has been set.

​

So again… people can connect without issue by entering the server ip and port manually, but it doesn't show up in the community tab and shows as disconnected in any of the other tabs.

​

Thoughts on where I can go with this? Thank you very much… It's bugging me, even if it isn't preventing my friends and I from playing!
