Northstar-dedicated - Docker container for the Northstar dedicated server. Also includes general notes on running the dedi on Linux. WIP.

Last update: Jan 6, 2023

Overview

northstar-dedicated

Docker image for the Northstar dedicated server. Not ready yet (it'll probably be another day or two).

Versioning

Tentative.

Stable

These tags will be used for stable versions from the master branch. The major version will be incremented when a breaking change is made.

{major-version}.{YYMMDD}.git{short-hash}-tf{titanfall-ver}-ns{northstar-ver} (unique tag)
{major-version}-tf{titanfall-ver}-ns{northstar-ver} (recommended if you're using custom config)
{major-version}-tf{titanfall-ver} (recommended if you're only using the documented env vars)

Note: There isn't a latest tag since the Titanfall 2 version may need to be updated manually.

Development

These tags will be used for the dev branch and for all CI builds.

dev.{YYMMDD}.git{short-hash} (unique tag)
dev (only for the main dev branch)

Titanfall 2

To use this docker container, you will need a copy of the Titanfall 2 game files to mount as a volume. You can reduce the size to around 5 gigabytes with the instructions in the next section.

Reducing the size

To slim down a Titanfall 2 install, delete the files as specified below.

delete vpk/client_sp_* englishclient_sp_*
delete r2/maps/sp_*
delete r2/paks/ except for {common,common_mp,highlight,particle_scripts}{,\(*}.rpak ui{,\(*}.dll
delete r2/sound
delete r2/media
delete r2/screenshots
on wine without origin installed:
- delete Core
- delete Support
- delete __Installer

System requirements

TODO

Running with wine

This is not relevant if you are here for the Docker container. If you want to try running this without Docker, my stubs, or my custom Wine build, I've successfully used the following configurations. Note that you will need a full X server running (Xvfb won't do).

Tracing

While working on the stubs, I needed to trace which DirectX calls Titanfall uses. You can do this by running it under WineD3D (with llvmpipe so it isn't polluted or made inconsistent by the hardware) and WINEDEBUG=trace+d3d11,trace+dxgi. Beware that this may have more than what is directly called by Titanfall due to internal implementation details of WineD3D.

TODO

Most of my progress and notes can be found on my repos and gists if anyone's interested. Some of it is also discussed on the NS discord. I've also been adding the most relevant bits to this README as I finalize them.

Note that I'm not currently accepting contributions (at least until I finish the directx stubbing and the initial version).

Wine

Figure out how to run it natively.
Figure out how to run it with wined3d + llvmpipe.
Figure out how to run it with dxvk + lavapipe.
Build minimal version.
Figure out how to run it without an X server.
Build minimal version.
Get it working on ARM64 with Box64 / Hangover / qemu-user.

Northstar

Create additional patches for optimization where necessary.
Fix console creation so it re-uses the original one.
Expose prometheus metrics?

Titanfall 2

Figure out which files are unnecessary.
Create stubs for GFSDK_{SSAO,TXAA}.win64.dll so d3d9 isn't required (thanks p0358).
Maybe: remove textures from vpks.

dxvk

Initial research and API traces.
Remove the win32 surface so it can run on xvfb.
Neutralize the render loop / presenter.
Finish removing vulkan from dxvk fork by incrementally stubbing / re-implementing APIs.
- Neutralize texture loading and shader compilation, but still return valid buffers where needed.
Remove leftover cruft.
Slim down the build system.

docker

Create initial docker image based on Fedora.
Design versioning scheme.
Create a slimmer docker image from scratch or based on Alpine with custom packages.
Figure out a way to be able to mount TF2 read-only without copying it.
Provide config via a custom entrypoint which supports env vars.
Fix Northstar logging.
GitHub actions.
Windows support? (this depends on whether my hook will work on it)
Publish image.

client crashes when the client connecting directly (insecure_enabled)

I am now able to replicate the issue that was happening to my docker instance when I was running it in WSL2 (In DM with @pg9182: https://discord.com/channels/@me/924866340555218974/932860684465758249)

Core issue:

Connecting via server browser works fine, while direct connect (aka connect <IP-ADDRESS>:<PORT> in console crashes the client)

Some symptoms when connecting directly, instead of master server:

(Client crashes on game start)

(Lobby menu looks different than usual + crash): https://streamable.com/r0fsgo

Logs: (Client logs) nslog2022-02-11 02-57-13.txt

(Server Logs) electric-the-phantom.log.zip

How to replicate:

Run the following on a Linux server with docker (Downloads tf2 files, and starts up the server):

#!/bin/bash
export IMAGE=ghcr.io/pg9182/northstar-dedicated:1-tf2.0.11.0-ns1.4.0
export NS_AUTH_PORT="8081"
export NS_PORT="37015"
docker pull $IMAGE

apt update -y
apt install parallel jq unzip zip -y

echo "Downloading Titanfall2 Files"

curl -L "https://ghcr.io/v2/nsres/titanfall/manifests/2.0.11.0-dedicated-mp" -s -H "Accept: application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json" -H "Authorization: Bearer QQ==" | jq -r '.layers[]|[.digest, .annotations."org.opencontainers.image.title"] | @tsv' |
{
  paths=()
  uri=()
  while read -r line; do
    while IFS=$'\t' read -r digest path; do
      path="/titanfall2/$path"
      folder=${path%/*}
      mkdir -p "$folder"
      touch "$path"
      paths+=("$path")
      uri+=("https://ghcr.io/v2/nsres/titanfall/blobs/$digest")
    done <<< "$line" ;
  done
  parallel --link --jobs 8 'wget -O {1} {2} --header="Authorization: Bearer QQ==" -nv' ::: "${paths[@]}" ::: "${uri[@]}"
}

docker run -d --pull always --publish $NS_AUTH_PORT:$NS_AUTH_PORT/tcp --publish $NS_PORT:$NS_PORT/udp --mount "type=bind,source=/titanfall2,target=/mnt/titanfall,readonly"  --env NS_SERVER_NAME="[London]electric-the-phantom" --env NS_SERVER_DESC="Competitive LTS!! Yay!" --env NS_AUTH_PORT --env NS_PORT --env NS_SERVER_PASSWORD="1306" --env NS_INSECURE="1" --name "northstar-dedicated" $IMAGE

connect via: connect <IP-ADDRESS>:37015

For convenience, can be run via Northstar-bot in lighthouse discord via: /create_server region:new jersey insecure:True, which runs the above script in vultr.

disable management features

I need a docker container to provide only the runtime environment to run the NorthStar server. The only other container available doesn't work at all, so I need an option for this one (or alternate version) which only runs the server and does not attempt to manage the files or configuration, as I already have that set up outside the container and the options documented in the readme are insufficient.

Poor performance on multiple different machines since 1.9.4

Not sure what's up, but I have had nothing but issues with stuttering and ping spikes since around 1.9.4. Doesn't matter what arguments I give to Northstar, the server starts to chug around 6-7 connected players. I have plenty of bandwidth, ram and CPU available. Only thing of note is I am using --network host on the docker container.

Server won't start after update to ns 1.6

After upgrade to ns 1.6 docker image dont start:, log: I have tried download again new tf2 data from EA APP, reinstall docker and even put the VM (centos7.9) from scratch. Before that, everything worked fine, no configuration changes. What did I miss?

Game wont initialize

I copied the files from a install of Titanfall 2 and slimmed it down, I made sure that I didn't remove any of the file that I wasn't supposed to remove. The dedicated server is stuck on "Loading the game..." and I have no idea how to make it work, I read a reddit post saying that I have to launch the game but I cannot do that.

Fix entrypoint hanging when launcher crashes

These changes allow the entrypoint to terminate if the Northstar launcher crashes, allowing proper auto-restart functionality with docker-compose. Since sendTerminate(true) is deferred to the end of n.Run(), extra calls within Run() are not required. Also, initialising Xrdb now removes old lock files, which in my case were preventing the docker container from restarting successfully.

Update Northstar to 1.4, adjust instance creation
Sorry about the PR spam, not sure if you have something like this cooking already but this is hopefully at least useful for others using this image.

Updates the Northstar build file to use 1.4

Adjusts NSInstance logic to only abort when NorthstarLauncher exits instead of creating a watcher process, which isn't necessary anymore

Fixes what seems to be a deadlock when the launcher crashes, stopping the entrypoint from exiting (I'm not super sure if my fix is correct, but it does work)

I haven't added support for running NS commands with stdin, not totally sure how that would be set up with the custom PTY stuff?

Also apologies in advance, first time using Go 😄

Rework build/update/release process
Goals:

Support multiple northstar releases at HEAD.

Support getting northstar from CI artifacts in addition to releases.

Automate more of the update process, and support doing it before a full release.

Support selectively updating the image for past releases.

Proper staging environment (with promotions and rollbacks of specific versions) instead of just the dev build -> approval -> release process.

Allow more people to approve updates.

Should not change anything about the built image; it'll still be 100% compatible with what is currently done including the /usr/lib/northstar dir that some people depend on (even though it's technically an unsupported implementation detail).

Tasks:

[ ] Split merge stuff, support configuration for each ns version.

[ ] Decide whether to push all old versions too by default or only when triggered manually (probably the latter)

[ ] If the latter, write a script to re-tag the latest version to keep the order and recommended install command in gh consistent.

[ ] Maybe split config stuff too.

[ ] Decide whether to make the Dockerfile templated or whether to add a build arg.

[ ] Add northstar version manifest for keeping track of known (to be compatible), supported (whether to support building for it, this will mostly be keeping stuff as long as possible), and updated (whether to allow pushing new images) versions.

[ ] Decide on a policy (and possibly automation of it) for which versions are going to be updated and supported.

[ ] Implement pipelines

[ ] Dev build northstar-dedicated-dev (probably all supported versions, or maybe just the latest with a manually triggered one for all supported versions).

[ ] Staging release northstar-dedicated-stg:1... (either manually triggered or based on tags, either build from scratch or push the corresponding dev build if it's the same).

[ ] Release northstar-dedicated:1... (promoted from staging) (also look into having this vote-based with more people allowed to vote) (also look into integrating this with l1ghtman's server management bot)

[ ] Maybe one for opening a PR for the latest NS release.

[ ] Maybe one for dropping old versions.

[ ] Investigate the possibility of removing package metadata from the layers and/or using buildkit's linked copy to make layers completely independent and deduplicatable.

[ ] #20

[ ] Document the update/release process, including steps to test images.

[ ] Add additional repo collaborators.

[ ] Maybe move to the NS org (or a new one) for more granular permissions.

[ ] Add proper issue tags.
