What is docker-dstds?

docker-dstds is a Docker container for the Don't Starve Together Linux dedicated server.

The container is based on a minimal Debian image running SteamCMD.

How to use this image

Basic setup using Docker Compose

• Clone the git repository in a new folder:

  git clone https://github.com/taskbjorn/docker-dstds

• Substitute <insert-your-server-token-here> under compose/env/dst.env with the server token obtained from your Klei account.

• Run the server startup script:

  cd compose
  bash Allrun.sh

Running additional shards

By default, the Compose project initialises two servers, the master server running Overworld and a shard server running a Caves world. To run additional shards, add the following lines to the services in your docker-compose.yml file:

  dst-newshard:
    container_name: dst-newshard
    environment:
      - "SHARD_NAME=NewShard"
    image: taskbjorn/dst-dockerised:latest
    networks:
      - backend
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - "data:/home/dst/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/MyDediServer"

Then, clone the master server configuration

cd compose/MyDediServer
cp -R Master NewShard

Edit NewShard/server.ini by increasing server_port, master_server_port and authentication_port by one digit and setting is_master to false. Also edit NewShard/worldgenoverrides.lua according to your world generation preferences.

Caveats

By default, the Compose project uses Docker volumes to store your server data (as in the example files provided in the repository), you must run the server using bash compose/Allrun.sh. The script will copy the default configuration files for the Overworld + Caves servers into the Docker volume and set file ownership accordingly. If you would like to change server configuration or setup additional shards, you must now do so from the compose/MyDediServer directory, as these files will be copied inside the Docker volume automatically at each container run.

Alternatively, one may skip Docker volumes and use a simple mountpoint. To do so, remove all volume definitions from compose/docker-compose.yml and edit the volume mountpoints for each service as shown below:

(...)
    volumes:
      - "./MyDediServer:/home/dst/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/MyDediServer"
(...)
