After uninstalling and reinstalling all valheim servers, I can now atleast access a brand new valheim world

I would not add this as default.
The server files are on read-write in /run/vhserver-steam/ so you can modify them yourself.

I pinged one of the Valheim devs with your url @robi and if this is a valid fix they will implement this as default.
Or more refactor that to be a dynamic value and not static.

@robi I will check that out.

@privsec I have just published a new app package based on @BrutalBirdie 's changes. Does this fix the issue? If not are there any hints about the freezing in the app logs?

Perfect, thank you. I will have my group test this out.

@privsec

Did you update your mods, if you use mods (Client and Server side) Are you using your old world with the new update (this could be a problem) Does the Server or the Client crash?

I tested Vanilla Valheim with no mods and with a client mod only, and with a client+server mod in a new world.
All working for me.

Mods: Nope, we do not use any at the moment.
World: We started a new world when the update hit.
The client crashes. In the log view, it stays running, and there is no not responding errors or anything else.

Something I did notice at the time was that it was running a backup on the server and I wonder if that had a hand in this issue.

@privsec this would be done via the in-game console.

Please read the wiki since you need to enable the in-game console first.

@brutalbirdie Awesome!!!

OK, thank you @BrutalBirdie

@privsec Valheim servers do not have MOTD (Message of the day). I don't know if there is a mod for that.
But right now the vanilla server does not support this.

Oh since this issue is 2 days old it could have been resolved by the latest update as well.
Looking forward to read form you.

@nebulon @brutalbirdie Thank you for the effort though 🙂 I thought an option for the docker container would be the best or easiest way 😄

It is after all still an early access game 😉 and runs but still more stable than some other games / mods, I can still remember Arma2 Dayz mod, there you had to restart the server, otherwise it was just more horrible after 5 hours of play, because just too many objects that could not be unloaded were present.

but definitely many thanks 🙂

@nebulon said in How do I get started with Valheim hosted on Cloudron?:

@makemrproper if you install the package as is, then you can just put the IP (as far as I know the game client does not support DNS lookups yet) when connecting to a server.

There is also an option to pass a commandline argument via steam in the LaunchOptions, I don't have my PC handy to look it up, but @BrutalBirdie gave me that tip.

DNS for direct connect is supported since a few updates if I remember correctly.
Yes you will need the game to play it.
