Running Steamcmd on BOX86 with schroot -c debian-armhf

I want to run a game server on my oracle cloud arm instance using steamcmd, but can't make it work.

When I run the script for start steamcmd, I got:

Box86 with Dynarec v0.2.5 9ee0ac92 built on Feb 19 2022 19:12:07
Error: reading elf header of ./steamcmd.sh, try to launch natively instead
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Then, I found that answer. So I ran the code. (Also, it has the same results if I just enter in the linux32 folder and run the steamcmd directly)

The first time I got:

Box86 with Dynarec v0.2.5 9ee0ac92 built on Feb 19 2022 19:12:07
Redirecting stderr to '/root/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'

Then second time:

And all other times if I run the command:

Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update check

[----] !!! Fatal Error: Failed to load steamconsole.so

In the log files of Steam directory, there is a "Shutdown" in every last line of each time I ran the command.

I followed this guide to install box86. The only diff is that after the last "make" I run a make install, exited the chroot and systemctl restart systemd-binfmt

Worked for me with the guide you posted, try changing the command's path, if steamcmd is installed in /home/ubuntu/ try these two commands. Otherwise just change where it says /home/ubuntu/ to where your steamcmd folder is located.

$ schroot -c debian-armhf
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/ubuntu/steamcmd/linux32/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ~/box86/build/box86 /home/ubuntu/steamcmd/linux32/steamcmd
