All of the space engineers dedicated server on wine containers I found wouldn't build, and I embarked on a journey to create my own.

Features:

  • Wine 6
  • Debian Buster
  • Installs default star system world on first run
  • Automatically updates <LoadWorld> element in SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg
  • Supports plugins.
  • Image built and available on dockerhub
  • Easy to implement offsite backups, just copy everything in ./appdata/space-engineers/config with your favorite backup tool.
  • Reduced container size (~4gb decompressed).

Thank you to:

Prerequisites:

  • docker
  • docker-compose (recommended, not required to run container)
  • unzip

Tips:

  • You can copy the entire contents of ./appdata/space-engineers/config to make a backup, including the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg file.
  • The ./start script will start the server using docker-compose in detached mode, and then attaches to the log output. You can press ctrl+c to detach from the logs and keep the server running.
  • If you are running plugins, the first time your run this, check your SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg file for the Plugins element. If it spans multiple lines, you must replace it with <Plugins />, exactly like that. The server will query ./appdata/space-engineers/config/Plugins and update the config file as needed from then on.

Usage:

-RECOMENDED- Pull from dockerhub and run with docker-compose

  • Clone this repo with git clone https://github.com/mmmaxwwwell/space-engineers-dedicated-docker-linux.git.
  • Change directory into the cloned repo with cd space-engineers-dedicated-docker-linux.
  • Run the start script with ./start. This will initialize the ./appdata folder, unzip an empty star system from star-system.zip and start the server.

Pull and run from dockerhub without docker-compose:
