Help requested for installing Docker container from Dockerhub

[workermaster]

Hi all, 

 

My goal is to have a Space engineers Docker container running. It currently runs as a Steam dedicated server in a VM, but I don't like that the CPU cores can only be used by the VM and I simply do not have enough free cores. So I would like it to run as a contianer so it can use all the cores with little overhead. 

 

I found this container on Dockerhub: https://github.com/mmmaxwwwell/space-engineers-dedicated-docker-linux but I am not sure if that one works fine. I also found this one: https://hub.docker.com/r/devidian/spaceengineers and that person mentions the first link as a source for his conainer. 

 

I know that I can get Unraid to see the container, but don't know how to properly install it. 

 

 

 

Basically my problem is that I don't know how to install it to the appdata share. It installs itself somewhere, and I don't know where. I also do not have an option to add the port that it should run on. 

 

Could anyone help me figure out how to install this container?

Hit Install and then have CA attempt to determine as best it can the paths / ports / variables it uses as a starting point.  Then add in anything else (Add another path, port, variable on the template page) for whatever it couldn't determine based upon the instructions on dockerHub / GitHub etc.

Thanks for your help. 

 

I have installed the container and let Unraid see what it could find in terms of paths. Here is the install that it made

 

I now have it installed somewhere, but do not know where. Other containers show me that they are installed in the appdata share. 

 

Anyway I am adding a path to the appdata share and adding a port that I want it to run on

 

Then I restarted the container and looked at the logs. 

 

I see that the container is looking for a path in Windows, but that doesn't exist on Unrai.d Does this mean that the container has to be modified to work on Unraid? I don't know how to do any of that, so that would make this a lot harder for me (and many others that want Space engineers running in a container on Linux)

Also why is the forum adding every image twice?

I tryed the same, and now im stuck. I managed it to get installed in the right folder. Now under /mnt/user/appdata/space-engineers is full with the Serverfiles.

But a that point it should start the Server i got this.

Could manage it to start, but only until this point.

The server should be done when it promts Game ready..... but after a while..... this wont happen

How did you get it to look at a different save path?

Here are the Paths

GOT IT

 

Now i need help to create a repo or container for CA  i think

Can i friendly ask how to create the XML file for the CA?

I saw Ibracorps Video but in Unraid 6.10.2 the template authoring mode is not present anymore

I could try it over CLI tag and than push to docker hub but i dont know if it works?

[workermaster]

I do not know how to do any of that, but maybe @Squid can help. It is times like this that I wish I had any programming knowledge.

i could migrate it to my mainserver over XML file. Saw a Video from Ibracorp how to do it. So will check that later.
Space is now running on my mainserver. Its a little bit tricky for my how to configure the whole thing, because its comming from a Docker whit custom Savegame and so one. But you can easely replace them with your config.

It's still there.  You have to have the service stopped in order to enable it

Let me know if you need someone to test the container. I am not experienced when it comes to testing Docker, but I have a pretty heavy save for Space Engineers that could somewhat stresstest the performance. 

 

I have manged to get Space Engineers running in Pterodactyl today, but a Docker container would be much easier.
