Docker Network performance

[Peon]

Evening guys,

I have an issue with a server running a single docker instance.

Its caching files from steam then serving them out on a 1Gbps LAN.

Ive verfied by watching the logs that the docker is answering and serving requests. Its just that serving those files starts at about 100Mbps and then drops to about 30Mbps. Copying data to and from the linux machine goes at full tilt.

Could it be the docker network driver thats in "bridge" ?

Can you run netstan -Lan and netstat -m while transferring?

I redid the work in the docker image manually on the host system. Copying speeds are still just about 100Mbps when served thru nginx.

Can you start it with this? --userland-proxy=false (You may need to make sure ports are open with iptables)

Absolutely not sure if it will work or do anything.

Hi Static,

Can I ask you questions regarding your command variables?

Are you using steamcache?
Seems there are issues:
https://github.com/steamcache/steamcache/issues/47
https://github.com/steamcache/steamcache/issues/55
https://github.com/steamcache/steamcache/issues/39
Could be the DNS problem of the above, but seems wrong to me.

Best bet is probs open an issue in Github? I think the project is getting support from steam devs.
