Docker image for a private freeciv 2.4 server.
To fetch from Docker index:
docker pull niallo/freeciv
To build from source, run the following from the root of this repo:
docker build -t niallo/freeciv .
Freeciv exposes a sever on port 5556 and uses an external volume for savegame data (/freeciv).
For the simple scenario that you wish to have savegame data stored in /freeciv on the host and map port 5556 in the container to port 5556 on the host, use the command:
docker run -d -p 5556:5556 niallo/freeciv
Clients should now be able to connect to your freeciv server!
Semi-related: getting a Freeciv 2.4.x client on OS X is non-trivial.
