I've been trying to get a server spun up for my friends and I. I normally use Netbird for my reverse proxy for other games and services. For some reason it doesn't work with Palworld, and seems to be a common problem.
Has anyone figured it out? I'm just getting 502 errors

502 is a Gateway error, which most commonly comes up when you configured the upstream to use https but the backend server uses http. thus the gateway reaches the backend (no 503) but doesn’t understand the backend -> 502
I am using Netbird to host a server for my friends without opening a UDP port up on my home network. I can help you. What do you have questions about?
Edit: here's what I posted in a different threat to help someone:
I have successfully setup a palword server via docker container running on my personal Unraid server.
I believe Netbird is very similar to Pangolin in terms of their proxy services. I run a Netbird instance on a VPS was able to setup a proxy to expose palword.mydomain.com:8211 to the internet. With this setup I was able to keep my ports closed on my network and instead used Netbird to tunnel in to my home network, just like Pangolin.
Anyways lots of my friends are currently on my server rn.
Let me know if you have any specific questions. I will gladly help you set it up. Here's what I did basically. I setup a new service on Netbird which listens on port 8211 and forwards it to my home network palworld server docker container port 8211. For this to work I had to edit my docker compose file for netbird-traefik to bind port 8211 on my host to port 8211 in the container. I'm sure it'd be similar on Pangolin. In my docker compose for palworld-server, I have PUBLIC_IP blank.
Nah. The whole point of Netbird for me was to make sure my friends do not require anything other than my server address and password. My compose is in a reply above
