docker-arma3server

This is a Docker-Image for ArmA 3 Server based on Ubuntu 16.04, using the full image approach. This means the image contains the whole game files for the fastest possible boot-up time. For smaller images with on-demand download check our Registry.

Features

• Full Size game
• Defining basic game settings (being expanded over time)
• Exposing mods, keys, config and missions folder for volume mounting

Variables

• SERVER_PORT
• SERVER_NAME
• SERVER_PASSWORD
• SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD
• SLOTS

Mod Preferences:

This image allows modding your server. Please note that the volume exposed to the host links to the 'mods' folder. As a result, your mod strings have to prepend 'mods/' to all mods. Look into the example for more help.

• MODS (for example: 'mods/@tfr;mods/@ace;mods/playnet')
• SERVER_MODS
• VERIFY_SIGNATURES

Mission Preferences:

• MISSION_NAME (optional to set mission autostart)
• MISSION_DIFFICULTY (defaults to regular)
• SERVER_PERSISTENT

Ports

• 2302 (Game Port)
• 2303 (Steam Query)
• 2304 (Steam Port)

Build container

To build this container you require a steam account with ArmA 3 in it's library. As this is our full-package image, the steam credentials are already required at build time which makes it insecure to share on public image registries.

docker build --build-arg USERNAME=steamuser --build-arg PASSWORD=somesafepassword .
