Nightingale Docker

Run a Nightingale dedicated server using Docker. The purpose of this is solution is not to be complete, but rather a minimal way. I don't like over engineered solutions.

Installation

The image can be found at:

docker pull ghcr.io/ekman/nightingale:1

Configuration

View the example docker-compose.yml file for indications on how to install, configure and run this.

Ports

Open UDP port 8211 and TCP port 8888 on your router and forward them to the hosting server/computer.

Volumes

Mount all these volumes to your host.

Directory inside container	Description
/home/steam/config	Contains all save data
/home/steam/game	Contains the game files

Configuration

Configure by setting environment variables. See below for an explanation of all available environment variables.

Name	Description
NAME	Name appears in the server browser
WORLD	The save files will be named after this
PORT	Recommended leaving as default
PASSWORD	Users must enter this password to enter your server
PUBLIC	Should be 1 or 0. If 1 then the server will appear in the server browser

Updating the game files

The game files will update when the container starts. I recommend adding the following cron job to continuously restart the server:

0 4 * * * /usr/local/bin/docker-compose --file /path/to/docker-compose.yml restart nightingale >/dev/null 2>&1
