A nice and easy way to get a Starbound server up and running using docker. For help on getting started with docker see the official getting started guide. For more information on Starbound and check out it's website.
Running this will build you a docker image with the latest version of both docker-starbound and Starbound itself.
git clone https://github.com/overshard/docker-starbound
cd docker-starbound
docker build -t overshard/starbound .
Running the first time will set your port to a static port of your choice so
that you can easily map a proxy to. If this is the only thing running on your
system you can map the ports to 21025 and no proxy is needed. i.e.
-p=21025:21025 Also be sure your mounted directory on your host machine is
already created before running mkdir -p /mnt/starbound. Also note that you
must have your host mount directory created first
(mkdir -p /mnt/starbound)::
sudo docker run -d=true -p=21025:21025 -v=/mnt/starbound:/data overshard/starbound /start
From now on when you start/stop docker-starbound you should use the container id
with the following commands. To get your container id, after you initial run
type sudo docker ps and it will show up on the left side followed by the image
name which is overshard/starbound:latest.
sudo docker start <container_id>
sudo docker stop <container_id>
