SPT MPT/Fika Server With Docker Ubuntu/Debian/Raspberry Pi
@B0d4 this is not a server issue but you'll have to port forward 25565 udp or use a VPN with your friends. You'll also have to add the windows firewall rules manually or with the tool in the Fika discord #faq. For further support please go to the #questions or #support channels.
@OnniSaarni Thanks for the answer, I created a thread on discord but it wasn't exhausted as much as I wanted. I understand everything, but how to make the server with data remain on the VPS to make progress in the cloud, but when I connect with a friend to a joint raid, how can I add it so that the game is redirected to me, but after the end we are on the VPS in the cloud? When I use this VPN, do I also open port 25565 or does it remain intact due to the VPN but the Windows firewall has been unblocked?

So when starting the game you set the launcher URL to your vps ip and then you're connected to the server. Now if you want to host a raid you either port forward 25565 or use a VPN like radmin and connect to your friend trough that. You also have to change your ip in the F12 Fika setting force ip to the raid hosts ip. I would recommend using the firewall fixer tool in the discord if you already haven't.
The server on the VPS handles only your hideout and stash stuff. As long as you start your game trough the launcher with the VPS ip as the URL you should be connected to the VPS server. The raids on the other hand are handled by your pc.
This is not a problem with this guide or your VPS setup if you can start the game with the url as the vps ip. For further support please go to the discord. This is a common problem among players and you'll find a solution by just doing some searching or making a support post.
@HectorLeeYE I haven't ran into issues with the 3 user limit (but only 3 people currently play on my server anyways). I will say I don't think the user limit applies for this case as hosting via tailscale is just sharing the one device from your tailnet out to your friends but I could be wrong.
@OnniSaarni I had the opportunity to test everything works very well, VPS and stores in the cloud save and the rally runs the host. Beautiful job! Now we are waiting for the entire Linux server to be able to put 🤞🏻
Sorry for those who helped answer my Raspberry PI questions but I couldn't use a raspberry pi in the end as I couldn't find a coupon to get a discount on a raspberry pi from a shop in my country (Singapore) 😅
With that said, for anyone who is googling this, I can confirm that this works on a Linux VPS. That said, as I've stated (and checked by others), this server is a HTTP server. It's not that lightweight (meaning that the cheapest VPS will not allow you to get away), but the second VPS should be fine.
I've kindly attached an image to show how much RAM you generally need (You do this by running free -h in terminal. Note: If you're using a windows VPS, you might need to RDP inside as I am very sure that this command does not work inside windows cmd
** I am running a few server side mods (AI Spawning, bot brains)
Perhaps @OnniSaarni could add a small section to your github docker repo page detailing that you'll need 1GB Minimum, and that this isn't really recommended because there could be a spike? I'll edit this comment again if there are any issues with spikes since I honestly have not tested system scalability stats according to number of players connecting
@HectorLeeYE I would consider it pretty lightweight if it only uses 1gb of ram. Other game servers use a lot more resources. I'll probably add some minimum system requirements on the page soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
Anyone had an issue whereby Traders aren't selling the same amount of items VS Windows SPT Server?
I've just installed SPT 3.9.5 / FIKA 2.2.7 on Linux and compared it against the SPT Server.exe on my Windows machine and noticed that Ref at lvl 1 trader level has no items for sale on Linux, But on Windows he has about 20 items or so.
Same with Mechanic, He is missing alot of items at level 1. Mainly guns and Items, like the Toolkit.
I've compared Mechanic's trader files, they all match between Windows & Linux "SPT_Data\Server\database\traders\5a7c2eca46aef81a7ca2145d*"
Anyone else noticed this? IO dont have any mods installed. Just followed the Docker install guide found here and compared it to a newly installed SPT on Windows.
@ChrisyG6 the docker setup shouldn't affect stuff like this. It could be because of Fika. The docker setup automatically installs the serverside Fika mod.
Thanks Onni, Oddly enough I have just redeployed again and this time the traders are showing items correctly. I will see if I can re-create the problem and report back if I find out what it is. Thanks for the quick reply :)
It was my fault.. It was SVM Mod, I had "RemoveBarterOffers" set to true. Which is odd, as it wasn't in the mods folder when after I installed.
@ChrisyG6 Alright! Good to know there was no real issue.
Brand new Debian 12 install, seems like the documented Fika build needs updating:

Shouldn't "ARG SPT_TAG=3.9.5" not be the latest SPT version? 3.9.8?

States that your error is due to a wrong tag, which you identified since $SPT_TAG is just a placeholder; replace it with your desired tag.

I installed this docker on my Ubuntu VPS, everything works great but when I want to connect with a friend for the rally there is an error. If I can not share the port in the router, how to create a network using LogMeIn Hamachi, where to enter the IP from this network since the luncher is connected to a VPS. IP Force remains or in this way it will not work? I don't have the opportunity to test yet, so I ask.
