Hi Dids! Thanks for putting this dedicated server together. I couldn't get the classic steamcmd method to work due to some unknown steam networking issue (seen here).

But this docker method works! I'm not familiar with Linux or Docker, so I had a few troubles. I thought it might be helpful for myself and others if you could add a couple more instructions to the readme:

  1. What order of .sh commands should be run and when should we use the others? It looks like docker_build.sh and docker_run.sh worked.

  2. You mention you can use two environment variables to configure the server. How do you set those up? I tried setting up standard Linux environment variables via the export command, but they don't seem to get passed into docker.

Thanks!

Just updating this ticket based on what I saw (and we discussed) in Discord:

  • You can run the server fine now (you figured out the environment variables?)
  • The server runs mostly fine, but you do run into save issues when restarting with larger worlds and multiple people playing, right?

I'll see if there's something wrong with the shutdown logic and maybe add a temporary sleep/delay to it, so the server itself has a bit more time to shut everything down (if that ends up being the case).

This should now be fixed.
