space-engineers

A windows docker image for running the Space Engineers dedicated server, published to the docker hub.

Features:

• Windows server core 2019 base image
• Includes all required dependencies
• Updates the dedicated server on container start
• Persistent volume for storing world data
• Healthcheck monitors the dedicated server's ping (see the Remote API documentation)

Usage:

1. Create a persistent volume to store world data:

docker volume create se-data

2. Copy your SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg onto the root of the new volume
   1. Default path would be here: C:\ProgramData\Docker\volumes\se-data\_data\SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg
3. Start the container
   1. Replace [YOUR_SECRET_HERE] with your own remote api secret (required for the docker Healthcheck)

docker run -dit --restart unless-stopped -p 27016:27016/udp -p 8080:8080 -v se-data:C:\World -e "secret=[YOUR_SECRET_HERE]" --name se thedruidskeeper/space-engineers:latest

🌟 Protip: Rather than using a named volume you could just mount a local folder (ex: -v z:\se-data:c:\World)

Restart the container whenever a new release comes out (to initiate the automatic update):

docker restart se
