Have you created and tried chmod your palworld directory ?

# Supposing your home is indeed /home/ubuntu
mkdir /home/ubuntu/palword
chmod 777 /home/ubuntu/palworld

Have you created and tried chmod your palworld directory ?

# Supposing your home is indeed /home/ubuntu
mkdir /home/ubuntu/palword
chmod 777 /home/ubuntu/palworld

yes, I can see other folders and files like Engine or linux64 inside the palworld, but only the /home/ubuntu/palworld/game folder is empty

[kryst4line]

@xxzl0130 I had this too and the issue was that I had to create the palworld/game folder in advance and give it 777 permissions; after that it created all the files correctly

@xxzl0130 You'll need to specify udp for the port, otherwise Docker defaults to tcp. Took me a bit to realize that myself

[jammsen]

Hey @xxzl0130 - If you use Docker 24.0.7 you should have access to docker-compose, you should use that, instead of very long docker-runs. Make sure your permissions/ownerships are correct, see the readme.

Hey @CooperWallace - That sounds familiar, do you have a Resource on this information for me please? I never found one.

[CooperWallace]

@jammsen Sure! Its on the top of this page, https://tech.palworldgame.com/dedicated-server-guide.

[CooperWallace]

@jammsen I just realized you probably meant the tcp part. https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#expose,

By default, EXPOSE assumes TCP. You can also specify UDP:

I created the palworld/game folder in advance, and specify udp for the port, but there is still noting in palword/game folder.

And I noticed some error:

[xxzl0130]

I realize I misunderstood things, the palworld folder corresponds to the game folder in readme, so now the problem is the S_API FAIL error.

I realize I misunderstood things, the palworld folder corresponds to the game folder in readme, so now the problem is the S_API FAIL error.我意识到我误解了一些事情， palworld 文件夹对应于自述文件中的 game 文件夹，所以现在的问题是 S_API FAIL 错误。

I'm in the same situation as you, this problem will be displayed after restarting the server, although I have queried some messages, and the task can ignore this error. But I can't find my server in the social server.

@xxzl0130 @906051999 Those are false positives and are always displayed. I run mine with those, and there's no isssues.

@906051999 As for the Server Browser, it looks like theres issues with too many servers. See if yours shows up in, https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/palworld/.

What ports do I need to open to my server to meet this business? I tried opening 27015 and 8211

I think 27015 is useful.

And my friends can access to my server now, I think my home network meets some problem.

[xxzl0130]

UPD.

I cannot change the port, only 8211 can access.

thijsvanloef/palworld-server-docker can run correctly and can change port to others.

I also used this project, and the IP direct connection was indeed successful, guessing that it was annotated with community-related configurations. Actually, I just queried the server I tested earlier in the https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/palworld/, but unfortunately the information update was delayed by an hour, maybe it was successful before, but I didn't wait.

Hey @xxzl0130 - sure mine can this too. 8211 is only the internal port where the gameserver is publishing "Gamedata", you can just map this around with your Docker-Compose file in the ports section. But there are problems right now with the gameservers, see here https://tech.palworldgame.com/dedicated-server-guide#qa and according to Discord Announcment channel massive amounts of network-stress on Epic Online Service, so when your server just dont publish, try no-password and direct-connct via ip, like i do. The server-browser only gets 200 servers, you have to click so many times "next 200" that your gae sometimes breaks because of memory-leaks before you even can list you server. Thats just Early-Access, give them time to fix it.

I realize I misunderstood things, the palworld folder corresponds to the game folder in readme, so now the problem is the S_API FAIL error.

Thoose are more like warnings, then errors, you can savely ignore them, a collegue of mine setup his docker-image in a different way and after the 2nd time it dis-appears, thats just Steam doing Steam things. most of others game do that too, according to him, so dont worry about that.

I changed the port setting through PUBLIC_PORT, and also I confirmed that the docker is listening on the desired port, but I just can't connect with it, it's wired. I'll try again later.

You guys dont need 27015, thats mostly Steam-Query Autodiscovery, but this server uses EOS. If the server needed more then 8211 it would be written here: https://tech.palworldgame.com/dedicated-server-guide

[xxzl0130]

The server is now working properly. I left my password blank and adjusted my local network to connect properly.

[jammsen]

Did the comments on the other issuehelp?

[xxzl0130]

It's mainly about password settings

[xxzl0130]

I also switched to Docker-Compose, which specifies the port as UDP, I don't know if this is different from using docker run -p, but it's easier to modify parameters

[jammsen]

Its much easier to define what the goal should be like and let docker-compose do the other stuff yes.
