Server not showing in browser when mods are enabled

[Mephisto090]

Hi, first of all – thanks for your great work on this project!

I’ve followed the guide and everything works perfectly when I run the server without any mods – the server starts, appears in the game server list, and I can join without issues.

However, when I add mods (as described in the README) and start the server, it seems to load just fine. The logs indicate that the mods are being recognized and no errors are shown. But the server no longer shows up in the in-game server browser.

I'm using the included FTP server container to upload the mod files, as described in the tutorial.

Here is my docker-compose.yml file (logs will follow):

Do you have any idea what could be causing this? Are there any specific mod requirements or server config flags that could prevent the server from being listed?

Thanks in advance!

[LsHallo]

I'm not seeing that you have speciefied ETS_SERVER_LOGON_TOKEN so I'm confused how your vanilla server even shows up. Maybe try the modded one with a login token?

Jetzt mit dem Token geht leider trotzdem nicht

[LsHallo]

I have not tried to use mods myself. I will look into this.
But I can't guarantee anything since I still don't have official guidance from SCS what the requirements/checks are for a server to be visible in the server list. This makes debugging this really difficult.
