Primary LanguageDockerfile

Dockerized Vanilla Terraria Server

Instructions

Set up two folders, one should be mounted to /world and contain your world files. The other should be mounted to /config and contain a single file: serverconfig.txt. This file is your server config file as described here. For security, you should set up a dedicated user and group for Terraria. Grant permissions on the two folders to that user/group, and record the uid/gid.

Run the container via the CLI with: docker run -itd --name=terraria -e PUID=<PROCESS UID> -e PGID=<PROCESS GID> -p 7777:7777 -v <PATH TO WORLDS>:/world -v <PATH TO CONFIG>:/config kaysond/docker-terraria Replacing the items in <>. For paths, I use /var/lib/terraria/world and /var/lib/terraria/config.

You can also use the following docker-compose.yml file, and run with docker-compose up -d.

version: '2.0'

services:
  terraria:
    container_name: terraria
    image: kaysond/docker-terraria
    environment:
      PUID: "<PROCESS UID>"
      PGID: "<PROCESS GID>"
    restart: always
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    ports:
      - 7777:7777
    volumes:
      - <PATH TO WORLDS>:/world
      - <PATH TO CONFIG>:/config

If you want to use the interactive console, you can re-attach to the container via docker attach terraria.
