The unofficial alt:V server Docker image.
To get started just run the Docker image as follows:
docker run -it --rm eisengrind/altv-server:releaseSince we can not provide a file to the alt:V without adding a volume, you can configure the alt:V server using container environment variables.
See .docker/scripts/entrypoint.sh for all available environment variables.
Before the server starts, the entrypoint script writes the alt:V server configuration using the input environment variables, so you don't have to provide a configuration file.
For the $build and $branch variables you have to enter the regarding alt:V versioning values.
$build represents the build number of the server source files. E.g. $build=1098
$branch represents the branch where the server build was released. E.g. $branch=release
To use custom vehicle data, you can mount a volume to the directory /opt/altv/data/. By using the volume you can then overwrite the vehmodels.bin and vehmods.bin files.
You ofc also can just copy the vehicle data to a new Dockerfile that inherits from the base eisengrind/altv-server image.
Most of the time if you are using containers, especially images, correctly, you will create a customized Docker image. For example by adding resources to a container which will represent a current version of your files.
You can use this images as a base for your future customizations:
FROM eisengrind/altv-server:release
RUN mkdir -p /opt/altv/resources/test-resourceThis example, however, just creates an empty folder within the alt:V resources folder.
We provide two different kinds of tags for the alt:V Docker images: specific and non-specific image tags.
In general, this means that specific tags represent a unique alt:V build version whereas a non-specific tag such as release... or dev... represents the latest build number of the regarding branch.
Thus, once an image with a non-specific tag is pulled, this image will not automatically get updated by Docker unless you remove and pull the image again from Docker Hub.
This is why we provide specific tags. Those kind of tags do explicitly not lead to a caching problem, because specific tags are not meant to be, once they are published, changed.
tl;dr Keep in mind that you should always specify a specific tag in a Dockerfile.
Since this images inherits from the debian:buster-slim image, we schedule nightly builds every 24 hours to reduce security invulnerabilities.
We highly recommend to update the altv-server image as frequent as possible.
Keep in mind that, because of the frequent updates, we overwrite the image tags release, dev, rc aswell as their build versions.
To use a specific image, we recommend using their Sha-256 digest hash as an image selector.
