SteamCMD in LXC — Two Key Issues and Fixes

Issue 1: "Failed to install app (Missing configuration)"

Cause: SteamCMD inside LXC does not auto-detect platform.

Fix: Add +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType linux before the login command in the SteamCMD invocation.

steamcmd +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType linux +login anonymous +app_update 2394010 +quit

Issue 2: DNS Resolution Failures Inside LXC

Cause: Using 8.8.8.8 as nameserver inside LXC caused resolution failures.

Fix: Switch to local gateway/Pi-hole:

pct set 230 --nameserver 10.10.0.1
# then reboot the container

Bonus: Locale Fix

SteamCMD may complain about locale. Fix:

sed -i 's/# en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen

Behavior Note

SteamCMD frequently disconnects with "No Connection" during large downloads but recovers automatically — this is normal, not a blocking error.
