Docker Guide

This guide covers how to run StationeersServerUI using Docker and Docker Compose.

Warning

For reliable backup operations, use local storage or block-level network storage (iSCSI, Fibre Channel). Network shares like SMB, NFS1/2, CIFS are NOT supported and cause issues. See Backup-System-v2/Important Notes on Filesystem Support for further details if you want to use Network Storage.

Running through docker cli

1a. Create a named volume (Optional)

docker volume create app-data

(Optional) This ensures the volume exists and can be managed separately if needed

1b. Run the Image

docker run -d --name stationeers-server-ui -p 8443:8443 -p 27016:27016/udp -p 27016:27016/tcp -p 27015:27015/udp -p 27015:27015/tcp -v app-data:/app -v "./saves:/app/saves:rw" -v "./UIMod/config:/app/UIMod/config:rw" -v "./UIMod/tls:/app/UIMod/tls:rw" ghcr.io/steamserverui/stationeersserverui:latest

2. Check if the container is running:

   docker ps

3. View logs (if debugging is needed):

   docker logs stationeers-server-ui

4. Stop the container:

   docker stop stationeers-server-ui

Running with Docker Compose

1. Create (or use provided) compose.yml File

services:
  stationeers-server-ui:
