Nailed it

Can you edit the post to put it in the description so it’s at the top?

That’s still pretty accurate!!

Oh I’m totally doing this. Thanks!!

Oh it looks like they added native support for docker just last year!

That is correct. Most people run a dedicated server on thier gaming rig.

I just wanted the excuse to setup a home server.

50 containers…

I hope I don’t go that crazy.

I’d need a WebUI at that point I can monitor from a Workstation.

The game runs a single core for your game session and multiplayer load. Limit of the game engine.

Happy wife happy life.

Valid observation. I was mainly excited about having an excuse to run a 24/7 server.

Not sure if it’s cross platform. We’ve been having lots of fun with it.

Its interesting in the sense that one person can buy all the content and additional players can just buy the base game and join a “unlocked” server to enjoy everything.

I’ve seen similar pricing models and it’s kind of expensive but evens out the more people play with you.

I find it funny that advanced tech is explained away by you getting support from outer space. Vs games like Ark where you just magically know how to mess with electrical systems.

Starting with stone weapons is annoying but you can earn credits in game to start with 3D printed weapons/tools as you hop maps.

Thanks!

I’ve seen a few solutions like this but turned off by cost. This one looks good.

The intent of having a third machine is to allow either one of us to play without bothering the other.

She was hosting and if I wanted to play I’d have to poke her computer. It’s a gaming desktop so it also costs more to run.

This way I can play and leave her alone if she’s busy.

Yes the game is utter garbage for optimization.

Even the game dev recommends a dedicated server for multiplayer.

Its so bad that if you put a few hundred hours into single player you’ll end up with performance issues. It has to do with tracking all the changes to the open world. Trees cut, rocks mined and buildings. Link

My electricity costs are among the highest in the USA due to my location. Also surge pricing in the summer due to everyone running air conditioning. This was on a second gen i7 which was a 125w cpu and 1070TI I think. Running nonstop as a seedbox, network share, Plex server and more.

I eventually intend to start some funny stuff I wanted a full OS for.

If I shift my end goal to run in a container then that would make more sense.

I initially went for Debian because I had a deadline for us to get back to gaming together.

I’ve seen loads of people use proxmax. As a windows admin I wanted a OS as a stepping stone.

I run Brazzite on my gaming rig and mint on my daily driver laptop now. Getting there.

Wait… Is that heavy water?? /s

I have:

• 2x pi4 4gb (bought them previously for octopi and pihole)
• Pi zero
• Several old laptops
• 2x SFF HPs
• 2x netbooks
• An old slim workstation

I work as a sysadmin so I’ve picked up a few things that wouldve gone to recycling.

My concern is power draw running 24/7 so I need wattage monitors and going to start with the Pi systems. Until I hit performance issues then migrate to a SFF.

My SO is already using keepass locally. Used to be only a paper notebook. Data breach paranoia.

I plan to setup vaultwarden or keepassXC

Yeah that’s on the list. I want them hard wired though. Gotta hire an electrician to wire up the outside of the house.

Good call. I was thinking of trying a 128GB usb3 stick I got. Maybe a ssd/nvme on a USB3 controller.
