Hello, I'm encountering a problem running an Arma3 DS on a Debian 12 box on a VPS. I'm installed it as requested, using "debian" instead of "arma3server" or "steam" for the user, but otherwise everything is the same. Edited the .cfgs to fit my use, but did not changed the default ones. My problem is that players stay in a waiting screen with no other interaction than waiting or disconnecting. I'd like to know if it's due to the DS itself, so I'm asking here. I've created a twin topic over at LGSM to try and see if it's due to them, and I've got a 3rd topic opened at my provider to try and see if it's coming from them. I've provided a few logs and cfg below, and will happily provide more if needed. arma3server.cfg arma3server.network.cfg arma3server.server.cfg arma3server-alert arma3server-console arma3server-script arma3server-steamcmd common.cfg

README.MD # GUESS WHAT! THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETELY UNTESTED! # ArmA1button 1 button (almost) build, deploy ArmA 3 server with mods ## The bullshit - Get docker.io - Create files creds and steamguard with your steam credentials and current steamguard code. - Create file server.cfg as per https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Server_Config_File ``` echo "[steamuid] [steampasswd]" > creds echo "[steamguardcode]" > steamguard ``` - When ./build.sh is invoked by _AACREATEARMA.sh > prepfolder.sh, Steam should reject your Steamguard code. - Immediate check your email and update the steamguard file. - Run it from the top again. If you're fast enough it should accept the old code. ## Mods - The modlist and missionlist files are both of the following format ``` [IDNUMBER]=[ARBITRARYNAME] ``` - Mods can be named anything; mission names MUST end with .[mapcode]. - Missions are downloaded in the usual manner. Softlinks are created in .../Arma\ 3\ Server/mpmissions. - Mods are downloaded in the usual manner. - If the addons and keys folders names are unnormalized, they are normalized. - Individual file names in .../addons are normalized. Soft links are created in .../Arma\ 3\ Server/keys and .../Arma\ 3\ Server/mods/lns - The file modline is discharged to .../Arma\ 3\ Server/mods ## Files - _AACREATEARMA.sh: Entrypoint. - build.sh: invokes docker build. Will attempt to build arma-i using maxhougas/steambox-i:db. - cheapinstall.sh installs and links mods and missions. Does the jobs of installmods.sh, installmissions.sh, linkmod.sh, and linkkey.sh. - creds: contains your actual Steam credentials in plaintext. Super-duper secure, never blind or delete this file. Not included. - dexec.sh: invokes docker exec. Can only take a single argument. - dockerfile.db: used when invoking docker build (build.sh). Will contain plaintext credentials. Discharged and deleted after use by prepfolder.sh - installmod.sh: invokes docker exec > steamcmd.sh. Useful for mods that DLs that time out. Does not link anything. - linkkey.sh: invoked by cheapinstall.sh. Creates softlinks. - linkmod.sh: invoked by cheapinstall.sh. Creates softlinks. - missionlist: contains idnumbers and mission names. Mission names *MUST* end with .[mapcode]. - modlist: contains idnumbers and modnames. Mod names are arbitrary, but this system assumes names contain only [0-9A-Za-z._-]*. - patharma: contains the full path to .../Arma\ 3\ Server, it is rendered as /Arma 3 Server though, be careful with that. - pathmod: contains the full path to .../107410. - prepfolder.sh: poorly named, creates .../mods and .../mods/lns; copies runarma.sh and server.cfg to .../mods; discharges dockerfile.db. - README.MD: this. - restart.sh: invokes docker stop and docker start. - run.sh: invokes docker run. Will attempt to run arma-s. Incoming ports are specified here. Bind mounts are specified here. - server.cfg: config file. Not included. - start.sh: invokes docker stop. - steamguard: contains your steamguard code. - steaminst: a steam CMD script file. Will contain plaintext credentials. Dischaged and deleted after use by cheapinstall.sh. Not included. - stop.sh: invokes docker start. ### Depricated - installmods.sh: invokes docker exec > steamcmd.sh to download mods. Creates appropriate softlinks and discharges the modline file. - installmissions.sh: invokes docker exec > steamcmd.sh to download missions.

Hi there. I have yet another Server problem. If we play on a server and we for example kill a lot of AIs or similar, the server freezes. No, its not clients. WE see each other walking in one place and.. well.. the server is frozen. No response from arma3 process, can login to putty normally. HTOP shows 100% cap on arma3 proccess, however normally it "flows" between cores. Stuck. Can share logs, however there is nothing in them at the time of the crash. As if the whole proccess is frozen. anyone got ideas? Thanks in beforehand.

My server is experiencing a heavy bug, which makes it freeze (not crash) and has to be restarted. Everytime after restarting the server (running on a virtual machine) it freezes after a random time (approx. 2 mins), which results in the player not being able to connect (but getting no connection timeout), slot, continue or spawn entities on the server. If a player made it in time on the running mission he is able to move and shoot. Is there a known fix for this and if there isn't how can I find out what's the issue scince the server is not crashing and therefore not creating a crash report. Many thanks in advance.
