Game Servers

[Clixxi]

Hi,

today i bought the LT license and asked myself if there may be extended features for hosting gameservers like Minecraft, Left4Dead, Ragnarok Online and many more older games.

I`d like to bask in nostalgia and try my best to "relive" better times 😆

So my question is: Is or will there be any kind of support/features explicit to hosting game servers.

 

Best regards

I'm sure they'll add easy to use templates for hosting game servers in the near future, but you can already do this by creating a new virtual machine and running your game servers in it.

This and/or integration for AMP by Cube Coders. I have been using this on Windows but having that integrated would be totally sweet.

Yeah AMP would be nice.

I think I spotted a minecraft server app in a picture of the pre-release. Other games may need to switch to the tru-nas dashboard to configure?

Currently the only 2 supported apps are plex and immich every other apps needs to be setup and installed from truenas currently 

[Sparkrdom]

The app list has Plex and Immach as HexOS one-click installs, and a bunch of options based on TrueNas and says they'll need manual configuration. Minecraft and Palworld were included

[Smir]

Ah hopefully qBittorrent won’t be too far behind, got Linux ISOs to seed!

I am also very interested in game server support. I suspect many games would need to be ran in a VM, but that's beside the point

titles of interest for me would include HALO Combat Evolved, BF3, ARMA II and ARMA III, DayZ standalone, TF2, classics like Quake and Unreal Tournament, Subnautica (Nitrox multiplayer mod), Starwars Battlefront II...

In the interim @Clixxi I use proxmox with ubuntu LXC containers, then use LinuxGSM to easily deploy and administer various game servers. I'm excited to get my hands onto HexOS and give it a shot though =D. Native LXC container support (as opposed to docker) would be amazing.

without the AMP issues though.

Hosting a Minecraft server on this would probably be the biggest quality of life feature when it comes to playing that game with friends, I really hope it ends up being possible!

I think documenting the implementation of hosting a Minecraft server would hold more value to this community.

HexOS, implement replication through some IaaS or similar process. Please promote open source initiatives like this that could become central to other concepts of this technology.

I would suggest they contact https://linuxgsm.com/ to implement a one-click solution for hosting game servers, as it offers a way to host games through Docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/gameservermanagers/linuxgsm.

[Hiabst]

what about implementing for example Pterodactyl as its easy to use?

 

[Sam Smith]

Hopefully somthing like minecraft or any other type of game would be grate, as reading all your comments about amp and this is and that is just confusing.

[ShowingOff]

This seems like why you would want to integrate Tailscale. Imagine sending a link to your buddies and them just being added to an encrypted network.

[mildest_jinx_0l]

I support this idea

I would agree that this is probably the easiest way to support a large amount of games rather seamlessly. Especially if you also give direct access to config files and e.g. save files etc. over an integrated path. Then people can just plug in their minecraft map in their network share, change some optional configs if they want, start the server and they are good to go.

I was on my way to suggest this exact thing lmao

 

In my (very smooth) brain, it sounds rather simple, all of the containers only use /data for all their files, so it's only one thing that needs mounting, and the folder structure is laid out pretty similarly.

I've been using them to run my game servers for years.

 

As for amp, as much as I like it, theirs a reason they haven't released an official docker image for it, something about nested docker containers and port forwarding not playing nice if I remember correctly.

I've managed to get a (mostly) functional version of amp running inside a docker custom app and a compose script using THIS DOCKER CONTAINER

 

Things to keep in mind:

THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE DEVS. Use host networking for best results, webui/portal is on port 8080, you NEED a valid license key, the MAC address step is not needed on TrueNAS with host networking (as far as I can tell), expect jank
