⁠Prerequisites:

• docker or podman
• docker-compose or podman-compose (recommended, not required to run container)
• unzip
• zip

⁠Tips:

• When migrating from v1 to v2, run the ./migrate script.
• If starting from scratch, use the ./setup script to create a default world. Then run ./start, and verify you can connect. Once the server comes up and you have verified you can connect, stop the server and run ./unpack. This will move all user configurable world files to the ./volumes folder. From there you can adjust any settings in the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg or replace the world files. Once complete, run ./pack to put the files back into the volume mounts so the server will pick up your world.
• The ./start script will start the server using docker-compose in detached mode, and then attaches to the log output. You can press ctrl+c to detach from the logs and keep the server running.
• If you are running plugins, the first time your run this, check your SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg file for the Plugins element. If it spans multiple lines, you must replace it with <Plugins />, exactly like that. The server will automatially enumerate the plugins directory and update the config file as needed.

⁠Usage:

⁠-RECOMENDED- Pull from dockerhub and run with docker-compose

• Clone this repo with git clone https://github.com/mmmaxwwwell/space-engineers-dedicated-docker-linux.git.
• Change directory into the cloned repo with cd space-engineers-dedicated-docker-linux.
• Run the start script with ./start. This will initialize the ./appdata folder, unzip an empty star system from star-system.zip and start the server.

⁠Pull and run from dockerhub without docker-compose:

From this directory run :

docker run --restart always -p "27016:27016/udp" \
  -v $(pwd)/appdata/space-engineers/config/World:/appdata/space-engineers/World\
  -v $(pwd)/appdata/space-engineers/bins/SpaceEngineersDedicated:/appdata/space-engineers/SpaceEngineersDedicated\
  -v $(pwd)/appdata/space-engineers/bins/steamcmd:/home/se/.steam\
  -v $(pwd)/appdata/space-engineers/config/SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg:/appdata/space-engineers/SpaceEngineersDedicated/SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg\
