Space Engineers TorchAPI on Linux Docker

Couldn't download mods and plugins with the dockerized Keen dedicated server and TorchAPI on Linux was not officially supported. I didn't really want to pay for a Windows server either, so I decided to get TorchAPI working for Linux.

TorchAPI GUI in VNC

Requirements

  • Docker
  • docker-compose
  • unzip
  • wget
  • Any VNC viewer (vncviewer for Linux / MobaXTerm for Windows)
  • *Important but not necessary* - Firewall to block unknown connections to VNC port 5900

Features

  • Unsecured VNC access (Recommend to access through SSH port forwarding only)
  • Wine 6
  • Easy access to World data for manual backups and editing
  • Openbox WM

Usage

  1. Clone this repo
  2. Run ./start
  3. Run ./stop to stop & remove container, the torch server data won't be removed.

Notes

  • SSH to server with the option -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 to be able to access VNC through your localhost
  • May have to restart TorchAPI after creating a new instance for it to show up in the GUI
  • Attach to the container's CLI by running this command: docker exec -it se-torchapi /bin/bash
  • Use htop or killall Torch.Server.exe to close the windows
  • File browser can be displayed by running winefile in the container's CLI
  • The already opened file browser's user id is 1000
