⁠🚀 Running with Docker Compose

Using Docker Compose is the recommended method to manage your server. It simplifies configuration deployment and ensures network isolates properly.

⁠1. Create the docker-compose.yml File

Create a new folder on your host machine, navigate into it, and save the following configuration as docker-compose.yml:

version: "3.8"

services:
  aa25-server:
    image: pporadzisz/aa25-server:latest
    container_name: aa25-server
    pull_policy: always
    ports:
      - "1726:1726/udp"
      - "1727:1727/udp"
      - "1728:1728/udp"
    environment:
      - PORT=1726
      - ADMINPASSWORD=aa25radny2000
      - GAMEPASSWORD=
      - PLAYERADMIN=radny,player1,player2
      - SERVERNAME=The Best Linux Server
      - ADMINNAME=radny
      - [email protected]
      - COLOUR=100,100,100
      - CACHESIZEMEGS=512
      - MAPVOTE=true
      - PLAYERSLOTS=32
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on: 
      - nginx-proxy
    networks:
      - aa25-net
		  
  nginx-proxy:
    image: pporadzisz/nginx-proxy:latest
    container_name: nginx-proxy
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      aa25-net:
        aliases:
          - aao25.com

networks:
  aa25-net:
    driver: bridge

⁠2. Network Configuration (Required Ports)

Ensure your firewall routes the following UDP ports to your Docker host:

⁠3. Management Commands

• Start the server: Run in the background using:

  docker compose up -d
  

  Copy
• View deployment logs: Track installation progress and server output:

  docker compose logs -f
  

  Copy
• Stop the server: Gracefully shut down all environment containers:

  docker compose down
  

  Copy

⁠File Locations

Main directory:

/usr/local/games/armyops

Important directories:

System/
Maps/
Textures/
Sounds/
StaticMeshes/
Animations/

⁠MapList

MapList.ini is automatically generated from installed maps.

Location:

System/MapList.ini

⁠AA Tracker Registration (IMPORTANT)

Server registration on AA Tracker is REQUIRED for statistics tracking.

If you do not register your server, player statistics, honor, and server activity will NOT be tracked.

Register your server here:

https://aatracker.net/servers⁠

⁠Why this is required

AA Tracker provides:

• Player statistics tracking
• Honor tracking
• Server activity monitoring
• Server visibility in community listings
• Persistent player progress

Without registration:

• Statistics will not be collected
• Players may not receive proper honor updates
• Server activity will not be recorded

⁠How to register

1. Start your Docker server
2. Make sure ports are open and server is visible
3. Go to:

https://aatracker.net/servers⁠

1. Click "Add Server"
2. Enter your server IP and port (example):

your.server.ip:1726

1. Save the server

Registration becomes active shortly after validation (5 mins).

⁠Recommendation

Always register your server before making it public.

This ensures full compatibility with AA Assist and proper statistics tracking.

⁠Notes

• Image includes full server installation
• No manual download required
• Internet connection required during build
• First build may take several minutes due to asset downloads
