[Question] Accessing RCON via Portainer about docker-palworld-dedicated-server

[ComputersWithTimo]

Hi @Plarpoon,

for rcon you will need a second container running an rcon client.

The readme has a mention of outdead/rcon:latest

docker-palworld-dedicated-server/README.md

Lines 125 to 128 in de32bb5

	rcon:
	image: outdead/rcon:latest
	entrypoint: ['/rcon', '-a', '10.0.0.5:25575', '-p', 'adminPasswordHere']
	profiles: ['rcon']

Hi @ComputersWithTimo, unfortunately that README did not help me much but I found out what the issue was. Opening a PR so everyone can benefit from the changes I made, thank you a lot regardless!

I still think you should run rcon in the same network and just use the palworld-server's service name as host for rcon. It runs for me perfectly without the hassle:

services:
  palworld:
    image: jammsen/palworld-dedicated-server:latest
    ports:
      - "8211:8211/udp"
      - "25575:25575/udp"
      - "25575:25575/tcp"
    environment:
      - ALWAYS_UPDATE_ON_START=true
      - MAX_PLAYERS=32
      - MULTITHREAD_ENABLED=true
      - COMMUNITY_SERVER=false
      - PUBLIC_IP=xxx-my-public-ip-xxx
      - PUBLIC_PORT=8211
      - SERVER_NAME=xxx
      - SERVER_DESCRIPTION=xxx
      - SERVER_PASSWORD=xxx
      - ADMIN_PASSWORD=xxx
    volumes:
      - ./game:/palworld
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 10G

  rcon:
    image: outdead/rcon:latest
    entrypoint: ['/rcon', '-a', 'palworld:25575', '-p', 'xxx']
    profiles: ['rcon'] # prevents booting up with `docker compose up`

(The memory limit is of course only temporary until they fix that damn leak.)

I see what you did there, I guess that's up to a matter of preference but not bad. Anyway as far as I can tell, you still need to add the two extra flags I introduced in the PR for easily attaching to the console too. Otherwise you have to manually enter into it and for less experienced users that might be a problem.

With PR #39 is meant.

RFC #94

If approved I can finally close this issue 😄
