Hi folks. OK everything else is working, and setup via docker compose. I am hoping maybe someone can share some configs, or prereqs, or whatever else on getting this going I think I'd be good to go. I am using an .env file, and put the entries in, but I don't know if the examples list should be put in exactly the same, or modified for my config?

If I understand what it does, just a web page I can view status of the server. Even if it just allows me to see if anyone else is on before I do maintenance with the docker host itself would be a huge help. Thanks very much folks.

@vPeteWalker you will have to expose the status http server port or use the generated document in some other way. By default the port inside the container is standard http 80. But you will likely want to map it to something like 9080 on your host (-p 9080:80) or in your compose file:

    ports:
      - "2456-2457:2456-2457/udp"
      - "9001:9001/tcp"
      - "9080:80/tcp"

You can also run the command valheim-is-idle to figure out it there are players connected. It exits 0 if the server is idle or not running Ie. when no players are connected.

Thanks @ste032. I removed the 9001 port forwarding. I cannot reach that site, internally or externally. Do you have this working? If so, can you share your config? Thank you once again.

Yeah, it's all working on my end:

valheim.env

...
SERVER_PUBLIC=true   (you also need this one)
STATUS_HTTP=true
STATUS_HTTP_PORT=8181

docker-compose.yaml

...
ports:
      - "2456-2457:2456-2457/udp"
      - "9001:9001/tcp"
      - "8181:8181/tcp"

I can access the HTTP status page both internally (local IP) and externally (public IP\dns).

http://<IP>:8181/status.json

Okay, excellent. All I did was update (since Valheim got a patch today), and now it's working, internally and externally. What the hell?

You might have had the correct configuration from the start, but one explanation could be that you were checking the wrong url initially (missing the /status.json), then you tried what I suggested in my first reply that was also wrong due to a typo (missing //), then tried with the url in my last post which ultimately was correct!

Anyway, glad it's resolved.

Appreciate everyone's help! This is a great little solution.

For what it's worth, this is my ugly index.html file I placed in the htdocs folder to make status easier to read.
Don't forget to adjust the fetch params to match your status.json url.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Status Table</title>
    <style>
      table,
      th,
      td {
        border: 1px solid black;
        border-collapse: collapse;
        padding: 5px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Status Table</h1>
    <table>
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>Field Name</th>
          <th>Value</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <script>

<!-- NOTE: Set the url below to your status.json file-->

          fetch('http://your.path.to:port/status.json')
            .then(response => response.json())
            .then(data => {
              Object.keys(data).forEach(key => {
                const formattedKey = key.split('_').join(' ');
                const value = data[key];
                const row = `<tr><td>${formattedKey}</td><td>${value}</td></tr>`;
                document.querySelector('tbody').insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', row);
              });
            });
        </script>
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>
