Arbitrium Troubleshooting

Problem when registering the game server with an external service.

When your server is booted, you want to register it on a third-party service; the external service can't reach your server. It is usually a port register problem (Just like figure A).

Arbitrium can't reach the application ports directly from any external source. The ports are mapped automatically to the external, and you should register the server with the NATed ports. It's possible to retrieve the ports from your deployment. You will need to use ARBITRIUM_CONTEXT_URL and ARBITRIUM_CONTEXT_TOKEN to get the information form your container itself. Here's a python script that retrieves the data.

import json

import os

import requests

def main():

# Getting the url and its security token

arbitrium_url = os.getenv('ARBITRIUM_CONTEXT_URL')

arbitrium_token = os.getenv('ARBITRIUM_CONTEXT_TOKEN')

if arbitrium_url and arbitrium_token:

# Making the HTTP request. Dont't forget the authorization header

reply = requests.get(arbitrium_url, headers={'authorization': arbitrium_token})

# Getting the data and do whatever you want with it

if reply.status_code == 200:

data = reply.json()

ports = data.get('ports')

port_7777 = ports['7777']

external_port_7777 = port_7777['external']

port_27015 = ports['27015']

external_port_27015 = port_27015['external']

print(external_port_7777)

print(external_port_27015)

# Just python thing

if __name__ == '__main__':

main()

It would be best not to change the ports your game server is listening to. Just like figure B:
