      Hey,

      So after reading a few of the tutorials I though what I was looking for was the triplea-game-headless release. So I downloaded it, uploaded it to my VPS, opened port 3300, and made these changes to run_bot:

      readonly MAPS_FOLDER="/home/triplea-game-headless-2.2.20868/downloadedMaps"
readonly BOT_PORT=3300
readonly BOT_NAME="Bot_${USER}_${BOT_PORT}"
readonly BOT_PASSWORD=
readonly LOBBY_URI="localhost"
readonly LOBBY_SUPPORT_PASSWORD=

java \
    -server \
    -Xmx256M \
    -Djava.awt.headless=true \
    -jar bin/triplea-game-headless-2.2.20868.jar \
    -Ptriplea.lobby.game.supportPassword="$LOBBY_SUPPORT_PASSWORD" \
    -Ptriplea.lobby.uri="$LOBBY_URI" \
    -Ptriplea.map.folder="$MAPS_FOLDER" \
    -Ptriplea.name="$BOT_NAME" \
    -Ptriplea.port="$BOT_PORT" \
    -Ptriplea.server.password="$BOT_PASSWORD"

      Then doing ./run_bot yields this:

INFO: Waiting for users to connect.

      However even though it says "Waiting for users to connect." if I try connecting through "Connect to Network Game" and then put in the VPS' IP and port 3300, nothing happens. I don't even get the error that says "Error: null Check: -the host..."

      Am I doing something wrong or did I misunderstand the intended use of the triplea-game-headless release?

      Sorry in advance if the ladder is the case.

        @Mathias-Sven note the port already in use error. The bot should have terminated in this case but kept running in a zombie state. Try killing all have instances and then try again

          I did that because I noticed if I didn't run it twice I didn't get the "INFO: Waiting for users to connect." prompt.

          As you can see no other process are running prior to ./run_bot but I get this prompt when I try to connect via the client:

          alt text

          Only If I run ./run_bot again I get "INFO: Waiting for users to connect." in which case if I try to access the game via the client I get no error bur nothing happens.

            That IllegalArg is likely the bot trying to connect to lobby. Do you know which URI you have configured for the lobby?

            The arg for lobby URI should be something like "triplea.lobby.uri" with value "https://prod2-lobby.triplea-game.org"

              Yes that was the problem, the URI was wrong I thought I was supposed to put the localhost, my apologies...

              Thanks for the help!
