|
||||
<h3>Server Not Appearing in Browser</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Server not visible in game browser.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||||
<h3>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Check Server Logs</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># View recent log entries
|
||||
tail -f server.log
|
||||
|
||||
# Or check system logs
|
||||
journalctl -u gameserver -f
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Port Already in Use</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Find what's using the port
|
||||
sudo lsof -i :[PORT]
|
||||
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep [PORT]
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill the process or change server port
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Missing Dependencies</h4>
|
||||
<p>Ensure all required dependencies are installed. Check the error messages for missing libraries or packages.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Connection Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Can't Connect to Server</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify server is running:</strong> <code>ps aux | grep server</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check port is listening:</strong> <code>netstat -an | grep [PORT]</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify firewall rules</strong> (see Ports section above)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check server IP:</strong> Use external IP, not localhost</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Router/NAT:</strong> Ensure port forwarding is configured</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>High Latency/Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Verify <code>cluster_token.txt</code> contains valid token from Klei</li>
|
||||
<li>Check UDP ports 10999 and 10998 are open</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure <code>cluster_intention</code> is set in cluster.ini</li>
|
||||
<li>Try direct connect using IP:PORT</li>
|
||||
<li>Check server logs in cluster folder</li>
|
||||
<li>Check server resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk I/O)</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify network bandwidth is adequate</li>
|
||||
<li>Consider server location relative to players</li>
|
||||
<li>Check for background processes consuming resources</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Cave Connection Issues</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Players cannot travel to caves.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||||
<h3>Performance Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Server Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Monitor resources:</strong> Use <code>htop</code> or <code>top</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check disk I/O:</strong> Use <code>iotop</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Review server logs</strong> for errors or warnings</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Reduce player count</strong> or increase server resources</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Optimize configuration</strong> based on server capacity</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Memory Leaks</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Monitor memory usage
|
||||
free -h
|
||||
top -p $(pgrep -f server)
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart server regularly via cron if needed

|
||||
<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Verify both Master and Caves shards are running</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure <code>master_ip</code> and <code>master_port</code> are correct in Caves/server.ini</li>
|
||||
<li>Check shard ports don't conflict</li>
|
||||
<li>Review both shard logs for connection errors</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure firewall allows cave shard port (10900)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Crashes on Startup</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Dedicated server crashes immediately.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|

|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
|
||||
<p>Set up monitoring to track server health:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Check cluster/Master/server_log.txt for errors</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify <code>cluster_token.txt</code> exists and has valid token</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure cluster.ini syntax is correct</li>
|
||||
<li>Validate game files via SteamCMD</li>
|
||||
<li>Check worldgenoverride.lua for syntax errors</li>
|
||||
<li>CPU and memory usage</li>
|
||||
<li>Network traffic and latency</li>
|
||||
<li>Player count and activity</li>
|
||||
<li>Error rates and crash logs</li>
|
||||
</ul>

<h2 id="security">Security Best Practices</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Firewall Configuration</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Minimal firewall - only allow necessary ports
|
||||
sudo ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
|
||||
sudo ufw enable
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Strong Passwords</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Verify mod Workshop IDs are correct in modoverrides.lua</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure mods are server-compatible (not client-only)</li>
|
||||
<li>Check <code>dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua</code> in <code>mods/</code> folder</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable mods one at a time to identify conflicts</li>
|
||||
<li>Update mods via SteamCMD</li>
|
||||
<li>Use strong, unique passwords for admin/RCON access</li>
|
||||
<li>Never use default passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Change passwords regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Don't share admin credentials unnecessarily</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>World Generation Fails</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Server fails to generate world.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||||
<h3>Regular Updates</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Check worldgenoverride.lua syntax (Lua format required)</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify override settings are valid values</li>
|
||||
<li>Try removing worldgenoverride.lua for default generation</li>
|
||||
<li>Increase server RAM if generation times out</li>
|
||||
<li>Review server_log.txt for generation errors</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep server software updated to the latest stable version</li>
|
||||
<li>Update operating system and dependencies regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Subscribe to security advisories for your game</li>
|
||||
<li>Test updates on a staging server before production deployment</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>High Memory Usage</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Server using excessive memory.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||||
<h3>Access Control</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Reduce <code>max_players</code> if server is overloaded</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable caves if not needed (saves RAM)</li>
|
||||
<li>Reduce <code>max_snapshots</code> to save disk space</li>
|
||||
<li>Check for memory leaks from mods</li>
|
||||
<li>Consider regenerating old worlds</li>
|
||||
<li>Limit SSH access to specific IPs if possible</li>
|
||||
<li>Use SSH keys instead of passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable root login via SSH</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement fail2ban or similar intrusion prevention</li>
