File Purpose

Server Details

  • Unprivileged LXC with nesting, auto-starts on boot
  • Runs as steam user (never root)
  • Launch flags: -useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -UseMultithreadForDS -players=16
  • REST API enabled for admin tools (port 8212, LAN only)
  • Backup saves enabled (bIsUseBackupSaveData=True)
  • Autosave every 30 seconds (default)
  • Running on HDD-backed storage (local-lvm) — fine for small group play

Setup Notes

  • SteamCMD requires +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType linux to avoid "Missing configuration" error
  • DNS: switched from 8.8.8.8 to local gateway (10.10.0.1) to fix intermittent resolution failures
  • SteamCMD experiences frequent "No Connection" disconnects during downloads but recovers and completes
