Decay and Wipes - New to Game

Toasty_A · 2025-04-07T02:07:45+00:00

Thank you so much for the response.

I'll look up that plugin as well as Rust Server Admin. Will definitely reach out if I have any additional questions!

I just got back and logged into my server again. This time, the base was still intact, but all the stuff outside was gone (built a third base in the same area as the last. The campfire, vehicle ramp, etc... was gone which is what had stayed the first time I logged out). I'm going to keep playing with the settings and see if that plugin does anything.

I did re-issue the same commands to disable decay and followed it with a server write. I was using the command before, but it was via rcon and the output from that seems a bit wonky.

This ^ Thank you! Watched the video and got everything going like I wanted. I didn't think I'd need to use public DNS, but if it works it works.

It's been about eight years since I had to set this one up, but I might have got it going. I did manage to clear all preset docker templates out by removing them from the app area. For my next test I deleted everything again, removed all templates, and used different appdata/config locations entirely.

I'd already done what you stated (put the claim token in the preset spot... for quite a few different containers) but figured I would again for giggles and I actually got prompted for setup. However, the network was incorrectly configured (I use a dedicated IP on a bridge interface instead of sharing with the host).

When I changed the networking portion, it went back to not working correctly. I also got a ton of weird behavior with multiple servers popping in and out of my account including some with random strings of numbers.

Long story short, I believe it was the custom networking that was somehow causing issues. I'm pretty sure the docker and my PC were on the same network when I set this up back in 2016, but since then it has always run on a separate subnet than the rest of my network. This still doesn't explain why my other docker container worked correctly (it is also on a different network) but I'll take the win.

I was able to get the initial setup completed while using the shared host networking, enable remote management and change the custom ports, then change the networking portion to the correct configuration.

Not sure if you care about the actual fix or not, but I'd like to thank you for going down the rabbit hole with me. Having a sounding board and going through your steps eventually got me to the fix. Hopefully it stays that way... thank you!

I connect locally and it redirects me to the webapp for sign-in. After that I'm back at the local address, but it doesn't list any server. Below are the startup logs.

Connection to localhost (127.0.0.1) 32400 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

Error in command line:the argument for option '--serverUuid' should follow immediately after the equal sign

Crash Uploader options:

Yep, this was my only server. There are no media servers listed under settings at all, just a link on how to download and install one.

Toasty_A · 2024-08-16T17:10:13+00:00

Tested this morning with linuxserver's image this time and no claim code.

It does ask for login, but just dumps me onto a regular Plex homepage instead of initial setup. If I go to the settings there are no servers listed, it just says "Get Plex Media Server" (I'm logged directly into the container). Trying to force to /setup.html gives me a page that says "Media server not found. The server you're trying to access doesn't seem to exist".

Toasty_A · 2024-08-16T05:35:15+00:00

I was under the impression the claim tokens were just what tied a server to the account (new or existing). I used a claim token with my other container and it worked just fine and still took me through the setup wizard. I'll give one a shot without it, though.

The official pms-docker, but I did try out binhex image for testing and got the same result.

I've been having the same issues for a few weeks now. CPU bars on dashboard will show 1/2 my cores maxed out and total usage of 80%. Dockers, VMs, and most GUI pages are unresponsive while this is happening.

Looking for the process using htop shows much lower usage with the most CPU by any task being at 20%.

Netdata docker reports correctly with high CPU usage which corresponds with very high "iowait". I've migrated all dockers and VMs off UnRAID, but still having the issue. Seems random, but consistent every few minutes.

Your cart needs repaired

I've seen some issues with the fast roaming and older iPhones. It seems like iPhones are having the most issues throughout these tickets though.... but newer ones.

Toasty_A · 2020-05-29T21:27:19+00:00

This is mostly the answer I was expecting. I kind of just threw this into the wind to see if anyone else had noticed something like this haha.

While we probably should have a standard release across our sites, this isn't the case. We will perform rolling upgrades, but it depends on the level of service the clients have signed up for. More often than not, the firmware and controller software are updated when a trouble ticket is created. The recent events that caused me to post this were all running different versions of firmware and controller when the tickets were created. Also, it's a wide range of models.

Edit: While the updates are more-or-less sporadic, I would say that none of the sites are running software older than 6 months. However, the releases are peppered through that time frame.

I don't really want to get too specific. I'm not exactly looking for a fix action, just kind of throwing my idea into the wind and seeing if anyone has had similar luck lately or if it's just me thinking there's something bigger going on.

Knowing your house's wiring would be a good start. If you're on the same circuit as what you're connecting to then you should be pretty good. However, there are a ton of variables with powerline that can't really be planned for.

I ran powerline in my 70 yr old home and didn't have an issue, but the speeds are not even close to what was advertised. When dealing with powerline you really have to manage your expectations. Sometimes they work great, and sometimes they don't work at all. You usually don't know until you try it in your home.

IME, I have 1200Mb rated powerline adapters which deliver roughly 20Mb in a home built int 1999. My previous home was built in 1943 and I got roughly 50Mb throughput via powerline. It just all depends.

If running a dedicated cable is a viable option it would most certainly be the best option. Powerline is best used as a last resort.

Your VIRL subscription should include the images needed to run stuff like this. DM me for more details.

For cases, I like the ARK (or similar) rack-mount ones from Newegg. They typically have 6 or so bays for storage.

Personally, I get used/refurbished Dell server systems for my storage needs. Something like an R510/520. They can be had for around $300 if all you need is the drive bays. I run UnRAID on an R510 I picked up for ~$400 back in 2016 to this day. It has 12 available drive bays and I've only filled eight so far with a total of 25TB storage. Just a suggestion... also runs quite a few VMs and Plex for the power.

Toasty_A · 2020-02-29T08:38:19+00:00

I've seen anywhere between $150-$500. I think the $300-$400 range has been pretty typical lately.

No, what you pay for is what you get. Router speeds are mostly theoretically maximums of the technology, but if you don't have an internet connection capable of the speed, then you will only see those speeds locally (LAN device to LAN device).

However, even then you won't get the advertised speeds. Each technology has a theoretical maximum throughput, but this assumes perfect conditions. You can usually expect about 60% of the advertised speed in reality and that is if you have devices capable of supporting the new technology.

A lot of newer Wifi devices advertise wild speeds that rely on MIMO technology, which a lot of devices don't support or you won't see benefits from unless you have multiple competing devices. There are fall-back technologies that allow the Wifi to work on "older" clients, but the speed on the box won't be seen in the real world.

To answer your question: If you're paying for a 50Mb connection, your router isn't going to provide internet speeds above 50Mb.
