Description

Running DayZ Server on Docker.

Requirements

Your Steam account
Docker Desktop
Windows 10 version 1809 or above

Usage

Preparation

Copy X3DAudio1_7.dll and XAPOFX1_5.dll to the Dockerfile's directory from your PC. They are located in the C:\Windows\System32.

Build image

To start setting up DayZ Server container image, in this directory, please run this command.

docker-compose build --build-arg steamlogin=STEAM_USERNAME --build-arg steampasswd=STEAM_PASSWORD --build-arg steamguard=STEAM_GUARD

This command is including several arguments (STEAM_USERNAME, STEAM_PASSWD, STEAM_GUARD) to login and download, so please replace it to your steam account.
This might cause error because the steam guard can be expired while this install process.
By default, this install process will use Windows Server Core 1809 to use process isolation. If your environment is not this, it can be customized by using 'tag' build argument. (See the Full Tag Listing section: https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-windows-servercore )

Run server

To start the DayZ Server in the docker container, please run these commands.

docker-compose up -d

After running this command, you can connect to local server by using 172.16.238.99:2302. In addition, Using Dayz Launcher is easier to use because it can specify the server IP address.

Stop server

To stop the running DayZ Server in the docker container, please run these commands.

docker-compose down

Notification

Please do not make the server's image public like in DockerHub because it contains licensed files of DayZ Server.

Current issues

X3DAudio1_7.dll and XAPOFX1_5.dll cannot be copied from build image, because of the installation of DirectX failure.

TODO

Creating a volume to customize configuration.
