Outdated version of server

[wildBcat]

I freshly pulled the image for this server but when I try to load into it, it says that the server version is older than the game version. If the updater script running correctly on this?

[geeklynad]

Having the same issue. Seems to be a problem with SteamCMD.

valheim-updater Error! App '896660' state is 0x6 after update job.
supervisord: valheim-updater ERROR - Failed to update Valheim server from Steam - however an existing version was found locally - using it

This is on an older container that hasn't been run in a while. I tried to bring it back up today, but it has been unable to update.
Tried going into the container and manually uninstalling/reinstalling...
cd /opt/steamcmd
./steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir /opt/valheim +login anonymous +app_uninstall 896660 +quit
./steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir /opt/valheim +login anonymous +app_update 896660 validate +quit
but no dice. The update appears to succeed, but the installation is still an older version. I might have just had the locations wrong or something.

What seems to have worked was to delete the data volume from outside container, while it was stopped and removed, and then reinitialize the container from scratch, but still using the config folder with world data and whatnot.

[wildBcat]

Hmm, I have not been able to get that to work. I have also tried deleting all the folders related to it and doing a fresh install and I still seem to get an outdated version.

This worked for me. Took a few minutes for the rebuilt container to download Valheim again and start accepting connections but updated clients can now join.

Docker compose down (Stops & removes the container essentially)
Delete contents of folder mapped to "/opt/valheim"
Docker compose up

Hmm, I have not been able to get that to work. I have also tried deleting all the folders related to it and doing a fresh install and I still seem to get an outdated version.

Have you tried creating an entirely new container from scratch? It sounds like what you did should have accomplished this, there's a possibility that there may have been some remnants that prevented reinitializing from scratch.

If an entirely new container works, just migrate your world data and plugins over to the new one.

[wildBcat]

Yes, I have. But something else might be wrong. After putting the container down, deleting the image and volume files, and even after making a new docker container, I get a log that says the Valheim server failed to update, then it updates, then it says it isn't installed and is waiting. I can't figure it out. If I put the files back and use the same YAML, it will work but still says it is outdated. I am not too well-versed in Docker to know how to fix that.

I'm having the same issue, I just can't get it to work, I tried creating it from scratch, removing the suggested option.

Have you activated valheim plus? I just had a similar situation with a clean container, finally I found in the logs that it states, that the plus version of the client does not fit.

[jalfy]

No, I'm using the BepinEx one, I also tried disabling it and I still get the same error.
