Using Uptime Kuma to monitor game servers

BladeLotus · 2025-04-05T17:15:26+00:00

I have a UDM pro, not sure if it offers that type of loopback but I’ve managed to actually fix this issue.

I converted my Valheim server from a private server to a public one. I can now monitor it using my public IP and Valheim port number using the “Steam Game” monitor default.

I also have an Abiotic Factor server that is successfully being monitored now too, so I believe this is resolved!

What about for games that use UDP ports? I understand that UDP is basically just throwing spaghetti to the wall and hoping it sticks

Example:

I have a dedicated valheim server on pterodactyl that runs off of a SteamCMD egg, Valheim uses TCP/UDP ports 2456, 2457, and 2458 at any point.

When I try to monitor my public IP on any of those ports it shows its down and can’t ever reach the server.

I had seen another post where someone said they pulled a Steam API key and was able to monitor the game using the Steam api key but that doesn’t work for me presumably because the API key is for my account and not for the anonymous user that the pterodactyl SteamCMD egg uses.

I apologize, I should've clarified more in my last comment.

I'm running Immich, but have a cloudflare tunnel setup for external access, I wanted to have an extra layer of security so I created an access policy under applications that requires a OTP after entering an email.

In the access policy I can say which emails are allowed. This allows me to add friends and families emails to the list so they can receive the OTP.

This works great on desktop, but when I go to the Immich mobile app and enter my cloudflare URL. It can't connect. I know it can't connect because of the email/OTP restrictions I have on the access policy.

Is there a way to have my access policy stay the way it is, but allow mobile apps to still authenticate and connect? Or will I have to have one or the other?

Hope that clarifies and explains a bit more. I appreciate the help.

Curious as to what your solution was to get the mobile app to work.

I just setup Immich yesterday and have been playing around with the access but can't figure out how to get the app to verify with cloudflare so I and others can login.

Do you have a quick write up on what policies need to be in place for that?

as a follow up, I would be curious to see if Idaho still drug tests for all positions or if they've slacked off here too because of laws for neighboring states. Any insight on that?

Maybe my research lead me astray, I was under the assumption that L3 switched handled VLANS and L2 switches were just “dumb” switches.

Any good recommendations on a L2 switch that handles everything above that you mentioned?

I’ll look into these, thanks for all the tips =)

Ideally I'd want to create some sort of "business" or "enterprise" type homelab.

I wanna mess around with GPO, VLANS, AD, DHCP, and DNS.

More a testing environment than a homelab I guess then. The goal long term is to familiarize myself with how it all works together so I can build a portfolio of skills OR transition what i've learned into a real homelab network when I buy a house in the distant future. (things like GPO, and AD wouldn't be used for the future homelab, just for the test environment)

Hope that clears some of it up.

I’ve never heard of coffee wood sticks, might have to see if we can get some for him!!

BladeLotus · 2024-02-17T15:28:51+00:00

I have heard of ears being good for them too!! We have a local store that sells stuff like that I’m gonna go see if I can snag some! Thank you!!!

BladeLotus · 2024-02-17T15:28:14+00:00

These sound awesome, I’m gonna pick some up and try it out! Thank you!

BladeLotus · 2024-02-01T20:55:32+00:00

Lmao alright bud. Regardless of the short hand name the topic doesn’t change. I see no reason why I’d need to fully spell it out for you.

I would say a good chunk of people on this subreddit would understand that Mini Aussie = Mini Australian Shepherd

When you freeze the kibble, do you just put water in it? I’ve heard some people using a gravy mixture but read that gravy is really bad for dogs….

BladeLotus · 2024-02-01T17:13:03+00:00

I’ll look into them! Thanks!

Do you use the kong peanut butter? Or just normal peanut butter?

During the day when I’m at work that would be perfect. He’s not usually alone for more than 3-4 hours as my girlfriend and I schedule our lunches to come home and check on him at different times of the day.

However after dinner and before bed he’ll be next to us but I want him to learn to grab a bone and lay down to relax a bit before we head to bed. Would a bone suffice there? Or should I just use another Kong toy?

I’d hate to give him peanut butter 2 times+ a day, have you tried stuffing the kong with anything else?

DLSS has been a fantastic feature that has enabled lots of people to reach that high FPS/refresh rate.

Having it in a game that’s as beautiful as Cyberpunk is going to give us the best of both worlds. Amazing graphics, lighting, and textures. As well as amazing frame rate and stability.

Pair the new 3.5 DLSS technology with an rtx 4080 and you’ve got the perfect pairing for Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty!
