World and Server names is not set | World not loading

[TerZer]

I cloned this docker container, build it and then I started this container with docker_run.sh skript. After everything was done it showed me this:

Hi @TerZer!
First of all I really appreciate your contribution by opening this issue here. Thank you!

Currently this docker image has some loose ends and up until now I did not manage to make it fully usable without taking advantage of the world creation provided by the GUI, which I needed a genuine windows OS for.

Additionally this repository does not hold the actual progress of the image, as I was too lazy to provide a fully documented way to do use it and to push my latest progress to it.

I'd like to keep this issue open to inform you of my progress. I will update this repository in the next 24h and provide a more documenting README.md regarding on how to use the image properly.

EDIT: Maybe you could try running the server using the docker_v1 branch. It is tracking my latest progress on the project.

[TerZer]

@Lazalatin Thank you for looking into this case and for quick deadline for fix! 👍 I will try running it and tell you about my results.

[TerZer]

I tried running server using docker_v1 branch and got same results. :(

[Lazalatin]

Hi @TerZer. I added more information to the README.md of the project. Now master and docker_v1 should be the same so the actual progress is transparent.

Regarding the title of the issue: Having no World Name to be shown normally results from not having used the correct path to the to-be-loaded world data, or from trying to generate a new world. The latter is not possible with this image until now. I opened a new issue for this case #2

I hope this helps you to successfully start your own server using this image :)

[TerZer]

Thanks @Lazalatin ! But can I get more information on how and where I should put world file and what exactly to change? (I am fresh on docker and stuff like that)

[Lazalatin]

Well, presumably you have generated the new world using the gui according to your needs, the only thing you have to do is to copy the SpaceEngineersDedicated directory as described in the README.md to a place on your serving machine. (i.e. /opt/SpaceEngineersDedicated)

Then you adjust at least the environment variables SERVER_NAME and WORLD_NAME to your liking in the docker-compose.yml file. If you experience problems with starting the file using docker-compose up you may change the version property of the file to '2', which should also do the job.

[TerZer]

Hmm.. I generated world name SOGA-System. I copied that folder to /opt/SpaceEngineersDedicated then in docker-compose.yml I changed WORLD_NAME variable to SOGA-System and ran docker-compose up and I got same results. Server could not find world.

[Lazalatin]

So let us try to do this step by step. 👍

First, have a look into /opt/SpaceEngineersDedicated/SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg Look at the paths in the tags <LoadWorld> and <PremadeCheckpointPath>, do they look correct? Maybe post them here.

Here the tags from my setting (Yours should be similar):

<LoadWorld>C:\users\root\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Saves\YourWorldName</LoadWorld>
...
<PremadeCheckpointPath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineersDedicatedServer\Content\CustomWorlds\Alien Planet</PremadeCheckpointPath>

Hence I have YourWorldName in my path, there should no necessity for the path to match the <WorldName> tag in the configuration. I tried it, does work nevertheless.

The PremadeCheckpointPath may use another CustomWorld, according to what you have used for generation.

Another thing that pops into my mind right now: Did you start the server once after generating it using the GUI? Some threads at reddit suppose this could be necessary.

/opt/SpaceEngineersDedicated/SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg looks like this:

/opt/SpaceEngineersDedicated folder looks like this:
https://gyazo.com/1bf8d58ddb2b4d09c3050e33f6d75410

docker-compose.yml looks like this:
https://pastebin.com/WXUdnxf8

I ran the server on windows, it created world successfully.

[Lazalatin]

First thing I noticed:

• Your configuration file says, your server data is at C:\users\root\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Saves\SOGA-System but according to your directory screenshot it is just right at: /opt/SpaceEngineersDedicated which is mounted to C:\users\root\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated.

So you have to move your SOGA-System directory into the Saves directory in order to work correctly. Try moving the world directory and try starting the server again.

[TerZer]

Okey, so I put SOGA-System folder in Saves directory and same thing: world is unable to load. Maybe my world does not have some files?

[Lazalatin]

Looks alright to me, could you paste the log of the docker container here directly?

[TerZer]

I could not find docker log file so I can provide you with SE server log: https://pastebin.com/NA266SAF

[Lazalatin]

As your server log shows, I made a mistake in the sed expression in the entrypoint.sh file. The most recent version of the master branch should solve that. You may need to delete the config file beforehand to restarting the container.

[TerZer]

All seems to work now! Thanks! But I get some weird messages like: https://gyazo.com/cad4a5f98766cd03c30f97dba467c316
And then I join the server it's laggy and it's unable to play (only several fps). I use VPS to run this with these specs:
8 x 3 GHz vCPUs
24576 MB RAM
and Debian 9 OS
So I assume that I have resourses for powering the server but something is wrong with that RAM allocation.

[Lazalatin]

This is an issue not related to the one we tried to solve here. As this would require much more investigation I would like you to open a new issue for it. But I am happy it runs now 👍

If opening the new issue please provide more information about the system, like your docker and docker-compose version.
