A little more clarification on Odin and Huginn

[theCrius]

Hey, I've a server running with your docker image using the guide to start and just a simple docker-compose.

I'll copy it here for reference:

      - ./valheim/server:/home/steam/valheim
      - ./valheim/backups:/home/steam/backups

I was trying to find a way to get info on the server like if there is anyone connected, some metrics, etc and went back to read the readme and discover odin and huginn, however I must say it's not that clear to me what I should do to add huginn for example.

I've a static IP and all the firewall rules set up properly, as I said, the server is running already since the release of mistlands.

Do I just add:

      # HUGINN WEBSERVER
      - ADDRESS=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
      - HTTP_PORT=something_over_1024

To the ENV variables and rebuild+restart the container?

For Odin, if I enter the running container with docker exec -it container_name bash I'm logged in as root but when running anything with odin I get the warning that I shouldn't be using Odin as root. Apart from that, how do I make Odin realise that there is an already running valheim server?

Thank you for any help you might provide :)

Yes, just adding the http port will enable huginn. Good catch I can have it be more explicit on how to launch huginn

Odin inside the container always realizes there is a server running, if you

docker exec -it your_container_name gosu steam

It will log you into the correct profile to run Odin commands

[theCrius]

Ah thank you @mbround18, I'll try that immediately :)

Just a correction, it's docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME gosu steam bash for me at least :)

[mbround18]

Ohh Yee my bad :P I should add it to the readme
