Don't Starve Together Dedicated Server

Requires 64-bit

Starts Cave cluster with Docker Compose. Based on instructions from the forums.

Setup

Add server token

A token can be generated from Account page in main menu. Paste it in cluster_token.txt.

Edit Configs

Modify cluster.ini:

cluster_name will show up in server listings
cluster_description will show up in server info
cluster_password if you want your server to be password protected
cluster_key make it secret

More info on these config files in the forums

Start server

With a docker-machine setup just run:

docker-compose up -d

Update server

If the server stops showing up in the listings, it may need an update. The servers will update themselves on start so just restart them:

docker-compose restart

Backup and Restore

Included are some scripts that can help you backup and restore clusters.

To create a backup for example:

./backup.sh ~/dst-backups/my-backup.tar.gz

Then to restore that backup:

./restore.sh ~/dst-backups/my-backup.tar.gz

The server will load the restored state next time it starts. These scripts are just docker commands that can be modified to work on other platforms.
