Docker: Traefik usage and player bans.

[danbka33]

When accessing the factorio server through traefik, all users connect through the internal network created by traefik with the same IP address, for example 172.18.0.2. If you ban a player who is currently on the server, his IP will be banned along with the player himself. In total, we get that all users are banned and cannot log in.

Solution:

1. Use nginx/caddy for fsm web admin.
2. Remove server port forwarding (34197) from traefik container, create port forwarding from container with fsm.

I am confused, factorio uses IP bans by default? I wasn't able to find anything about that on the factorio site or in the forums.

Can you not use ProxyProtocol (or something similar) to let traefik use the IP of the user instead of the actual IP? Not sure if that is supported but perhaps worth looking into.

(other 'solution' directly use port mapping to your factorio, not through traefik)

But I must ask: if it is Factorio that handles the banning (and not this web UI) then should you not ask your question there?

As far as I know this is not supported.

This is an error in the example of docker compose configuration that you provide, that leads to the ban of a player on the local IP.

This also came as a shock to me, after I banned one player, but then I myself could not get into the server.
