I'm a Windows User and have Desktop Docker installed. In order to get UT99 working on my LAN, I had to do two things:
- Add an Inbound UDP Rule allowing ports "8777-8786, 7777-7778". I spent allot of time looking at Wireshark!
- The second was a doozy. I found that if I disabled the Public Firewall on my Docker Server (Windows 11), my other computers could see my server in LAN Games. In a process of elimination (going through all my Public Inbound rules), I discovered that disabling the block "Docker Desktop Backend" for UDP rule, my UT clients could see server. Enabling it, and the connection would drop. I wasn't too excited about disabling the rule for security reasons and found an alternative. Run PowerShell command (as admin):
"Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -NetworkCategory Private"
You can get network card alias by running "Get-NetConnectionProfile".
So, instead of disabling a Docker rule to block UDP access to the "docker.backend.exe" file, rather change your Ethernet card alias from "Public" to "Private".
I hope the above helps. Bear in mind I'm a docker-noob and the only way I could keep interest was to try get one of my favorite games to run from one.
I have not finished with this yet, I have not tested advertising this to "UT Servers", so the fun continues. I also want to change the weapon mod back to defaults and I assume that means editing a file in linux (eeek!).
Thanks Roemer for the Docker. Your hard work is appreciated.
