OS Name/Version: Debian GNU/Linux 12
Product Name/Version: 2.6.4.2 - 20251210.2
ABOUT THE SERVER: This server that run AMP also run CasaOS and Portainer. This is a virtual machine, in Proxmox, running Debian 12 headless, no desktop environment. It’s part of my home “servers”. I have several other applications running in containers, but other than CasaOS and AMP, I have nothing else installed on this Debian instance. I have also added a second Datastore, it’s a separate virtual disk, just for AMP (/mnt/GAMES/GAMESERVERS/AMP).
Problem Description:
I am having a recurring problem with my Palworld instance. I can set it up and run it for a good irregular amount of days.
I am using the modded version, the one that supports UE mods.
The first time I've set a server, I have added mods, each to their specific folders, as instructed by the modders. It worked flawlessly, until one day my server was offline. I don't remember how many days, for more than a week, surely less than two, but one day it worked, the other it was offline. Since the problem is the same, I'll share it in a moment. I didn't set a backup schedule this time.
The second server had a similar story, the difference is that, even though I tried the same Palworld server type, the one that support mods, I didn't add one, because maybe the mods could be the problem at my first attempt. Also, I've used the players and level .sav files from the first server attempt so I could keep my world progress. I ended up losing the map progression for every player, but I could live with that, given I almost lost everything. I've set a backup schedule this time, that didn't help when I restored it, made no difference, actually.
The problem I keep having is that SteamCMD, at one point, after more than a week working, decides that it'll stuck on a updating job, at "Update step 2/9 - SteamCMD Download". It happened before with the first server, it's happening now with the second one. I can't go past it and I can't start the server.
If I try to read the console, it'll only have one line: ⚠ Only the last 1000 lines are shown here. Check the log file for full history. But I can access the container in Portainer and check it's logs, I've pasted it below.
Steps to reproduce:
- Step 1: Added a second Datastore
- Step 2: Added a Palworld server
- Step 3: Set up a Backup schedule
Actions taken to resolve so far:
Tried restoring the backup I’ve set within AMP, but that didn’t change anything.

If I had to guess, I’d say it’s loosing it’s files permission, somehow. But I’m doing nothing that could cause that. I’m just installing and forgetting, leaving AMP to do it’s thing.
