Docker container running but status is pending heartbeat

Hey folks,

We've been trying to move our Playfab server build from Windows to Linux containers but we have and issue. It looks like the build is running correctly but can't communicate outside of the container.

If i SSH into the server i can grab the docker log which looks correct and shows the game waiting in the lobby area.

If i sudo docker ps i can see the container information. The ports looks correct but the IP address is 0.0.0.0. Is that expected?

I'm wondering if we are missing something simple in our set up.

Docker PS

Commands: /game/KoalaServer.x86_64"
Ports : 0.0.0.0:30000->8080/udp, 0.0.0.0:30001->8080/tcp

Pending heartbeat means something wrong with GSDK integration, so testing with LocalMultiplayerAgent will point this out. You may refer to Debug Container-based game servers using LocalMultiplayerAgent - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn to debug your game server locally with LocalMultiplayerAgent before deploying it. Also, you may refer to Connect directly to debug game servers - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn to connect directly to debug your game servers.

Yes, it is expected and default. In Docker, when you see an IP address of 0.0.0.0, which means that the Docker container will accept incoming connections from any IP address.
