Palworld Dedicated Server Docker

View on Docker Hub

NOTE: Unsure how to get started? Check out the this guide I wrote!

This is a Docker container to help you get started with hosting your own Palworld dedicated server.

This Docker container has been tested and will work on both Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) and Windows 10.

Important

At the moment, Xbox Gamepass/Xbox Console players will not be able to join a dedicated server.

They will need to join players using the invite code and are limited to sessions of 4 players max.

How to use

Keep in mind that you'll need to change the environment variables.

Docker Compose

This repository includes an example docker-compose.yml file you can use to setup your server.

services:
   palworld:
      image: thijsvanloef/palworld-server-docker:latest
      restart: unless-stopped
      container_name: palworld-server
      ports:
        - 8211:8211/udp
        - 27015:27015/udp
      environment:
         - PUID=1000
         - PGID=1000
         - PORT=8211 # Optional but recommended
         - PLAYERS=16 # Optional but recommended
         - MULTITHREADING=false
         - COMMUNITY=false  # Enable this if you want your server to show up in the community servers tab, USE WITH SERVER_PASSWORD!
         # Enable the environment variables below if you have COMMUNITY=true
         # - SERVER_PASSWORD="worldofpals"
         # - SERVER_NAME="World of Pals"
         # - ADMIN_PASSWORD="someAdminPassword"
      volumes:
         - ./palworld:/palworld/
