Steam client won't update

[BurningTheSky]

Describe the issue you are having

On one machine the client says it is up to date but hasn't updated since I started using the cache. I just did a fresh install on another machine and it said I needed to be online to update the client. As soon as I point the DNS away from the cache it updated fine.

How are you running the container(s)?

docker run --restart unless-stopped --name lancache --detach -v /cache/data:/data/cache -v /cache/logs:/data/logs -p 192.168.1.81:80:80 -p 192.168.1.82:80:80 -p 192.168.1.83:80:80 -p 192.168.1.84:80:80 -e CACHE_MEM_SIZE=4000m -e CACHE_DISK_SIZE=1000g steamcache/monolithic:latest
docker run --restart unless-stopped --name wsuscache --detach -v /wsus/data:/data/cache -v /wsus/logs:/data/logs -p 192.168.1.85:80:80 -e CACHE_MEM_SIZE=4000m -e CACHE_DISK_SIZE=500g -e CACHE_MAX_AGE=183d steamcache/monolithic:latest
docker run --restart unless-stopped --name sniproxy --detach -p 443:443 steamcache/sniproxy:latest

DNS Configuration

docker run --restart unless-stopped --name steamcache-dns --detach -p 192.168.1.80:53:53/udp -e USE_GENERIC_CACHE=true -e LANCACHE_IP="192.168.1.81 192.168.1.82 192.168.1.83 192.168.1.84" -e WSUSCACHE_IP="192.168.1.85" -e UPSTREAM_DNS=1.1.1.1 steamcache/steamcache-dns:latest

I just opened the Microsoft store and that doesn't work either. Is this expected behaviour?

[BurningTheSky]

Is anyone else seeing this issue?

i have the same issue, but this is somewhat DNS related and needs to be looked into from the DNS team

The problem seems to be that the steam update information is cached. Steam is getting it from this URL: http://client-download.steampowered.com/client/steam_client_win32. A quick workaround would be to remove client-download.steampowered.com from the cached domains, but then the client update itself also won't be cached.
Is there a way to bypass this URL in the nginx configuration without affecting other content on the same domain?

[danielniedermeyer]

Update: removing client-download.steampowered.com from the cache domain list seems to work, i'm getting the update now.
Edited: my original comment said the opposite, I forgot about another cache on this network - now it works as expected

its possible that something has changed since everything was moved over to lancachenet/monolithic, lancachenet/lancache-dns and lancachenet/sniproxy. its well worth updating to use the latest images and seeing if your issue persists

Closing as the original submission appears inactive. Plus Steam hostnames in general will be resolved under their new update - see #85
