FarmSim Docker

Usage/Deployment

You are free to choose any location to access your game directories from.
We will be using /opt/fs25 as the default path.

1. Obtain a copy of the game (GIANTS eShop)
   • Download the ZIP archive, not the .iso version.
2. Prepare directories on the host
   • 1. $ sudo mkdir -p /opt/fs25/{docs,game,install,dlc}
   • 2. $ sudo chown -R user:group /opt/fs25
3. Move the downloaded contents (game, dlcs)
   • 1. Game installer contents can be moved to /opt/fs25/install
   • 2. (optional) If you want to use DLCs on the server, move DLC executables to /opt/fs25/dlc.
        If you do not wish to use DLCs, you can skip the folder creation and this step.
4. Start the container after configuring your docker-compose.yml file
   • $ docker compose up -d
   • You may need to append sudo in front if the user is not part of the Docker group.
5. Anything you need to do inside container is via attaching to the container's shell and use supervisorctl.
   However you will have to install/update the game/DLCs via the :fs25/:fs22 image tags as there's no scripts for them.

Important

You may need to delete the dedicatedServer.xml file that it generated on first launch and restart the panel.

Important

If you like, you can enable the autostart feature to automatically start the panel and the game itself by setting AUTOSTART_ENABLED=true in the docker-compose.yml file.
Not setting it will lead to startup crash by the container/supervisor!

Repository now a hard fork

This repository has been disconnected from upstream repository eversince GitHub introduced the "Leave fork network" button.
The real reason for the fork was because I wanted to clean up the mess in bash scripts and to reduce the maintenance burden while adding new stuff to the scripts and Docker environment itself, and also introducing the ability to autostart the gameserver when Host system boots up the Docker container.
