Docker Guide

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

Resource Considerations

Before proceeding with Docker, consider the resource implications:

Stationeers servers can be resource-intensive depending on:

• Base size and complexity
• Logic systems
• Number of players
• Atmosphere calculations

Large setups may require 12+ CPU cores and 30GB+ of RAM. Docker adds some overhead that may impact performance for resource-intensive servers.

Docker works well for lightweight setups, but bare metal or a VM might be better for larger projects.

Building Your Own Docker Image

To build the Docker image locally:

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/jacksonthemaster/StationeersServerUI.git
   cd StationeersServerUI

2. Build the Image

   docker build -t stationeers-server-ui:latest .

3. Run the Image

   docker run -d --name stationeers-ui -p 8443:8443 -p 27016:27016 -v ./config:/app/config -v ./saves:/app/saves stationeers-server-ui:latest

   • Check if the container is running:

     docker ps

   • View logs (if debugging is needed):

     docker logs stationeers-ui

   • Stop the container:

     docker stop stationeers-ui

Running with Docker Compose (Own Image)

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

   services:
     stationeers-server:
       container_name: stationeers-server
       build : .
       image: stationeers-server-ui:latest
       deploy:
         resources:
           limits:
             cpus: '4'
             memory: 16G
             pids: 1
           reservations:
             cpus: '2'
             memory: 4G
       ports:
         - "8443:8443"
         - "27016:27016"
       volumes:
         - ./saves:/app/saves
         - ./config:/app/config
       environment:
         - STEAMCMD_DIR=/app/steamcmd
       restart: unless-stopped

2. Run Docker Compose

   docker compose up -d

3. Check Logs (Optional)

   docker compose logs -f

   Press CTRL+C to exit the log view.
