valheim-server-docker VS valheim-docker

You should be technically able to run the server in a docker container (e.g. lloesche/valheim-server, Github page). No idea if the resources of the VM are enough for the server, but as it does not run a lot of game logic it might work.

I setup this docker image in unraid => https://github.com/lloesche/valheim-server-docker

Install docker and use lloesche/valheim-server

I've been following the guide listed here: https://hub.docker.com/r/lloesche/valheim-server from /u/lloesche.

Looking at the environment variables for that docker package (https://hub.docker.com/r/lloesche/valheim-server) "SERVER_PUBLIC" should be "true" not "1."

I Use this Docker Image to host the server: https://hub.docker.com/r/lloesche/valheim-server It has build in Mod Support (That is how i installed the Mod to test it). Do i need to Install the Mod on the server, even if it is client Side? Or is there a way for clients to auto-Download server mods?

Anyone experienced that? I checked the GitHub of server and I see no such issues opened there. No mods installed.

Playground for development and hosting production-grade projects, like my Valheim project.

I use Docker for my servers using this image. If you want to give it a try here's my docker-compose.yml

I'm no stranger to linux servers, so I followed [this guide to host a valheim server using EC2](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/gametech/hosting-your-own-dedicated-valheim-server-in-the-cloud/). Which uses [mbround18's docker image to run the server software](https://github.com/mbround18/valheim-docker), I quickly ran into similar issues to the person in [this post, with too much backing up](https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/vibi6t/i_setup_a_cloud_hosted_valheim_dedicated_server/) and made similar fixes.

My Valheim Server uses docker container instructions from mbround18 on Lightsail. If you want to use the beta for your server you will need to add this to your docker-compose.yml at the end of the environment section.

Details of my setup: docker I used is from: https://github.com/mbround18/valheim-docker

Again, this isn't necessarily a problem, but other than mentioning that it is running in a container and that you need to make some changes to docker-compose.yml to update the server password there isn't much detail given about the container setup in the blog post. If you do some searching based on things in the docker-compose.yml you'll find that it's running this Valheim container setup https://github.com/mbround18/valheim-docker

well I ended up using following this guide and that image and it worked first try. I'll see with the other image if the issue was just with UFW

The easiest way I've found for managing updates is by running the dedicated server in a docker instance. Specifically I've had the best experience using the image available from the repo linked below. https://github.com/mbround18/valheim-docker

How did you install the server? If you used other tools that automated some of the process, they might have a way to do it more easily. For example, I used this docker container, and updating is as simple as restarting the docker container: https://github.com/mbround18/valheim-docker

If you're comfortable in the console, you can set one up fairly easily using this valheim docker container: https://github.com/mbround18/valheim-docker
