Docker scripts for Don't Starve Together Linux dedicated server

Create Server Cluster

Visit https://accounts.klei.com/account/game/servers?game=DontStarveTogether

Type in cluster name, choose download settings, extract the zip file to ./MyDediServer

You can adjust server settings specified in .ini files and DST world settings in .lua ones. Especially make sure the ports specified in Caves/server.ini and Master/server.ini are correctly exposed below.

Build and Run

Change the permission for mounted config and save files.

There should be a better way to do this but I don't know how. steam user is preset in steamcmd, which may have different uid to host user

chmod -R 777 ./MyDediServer

Change the ports according to your settings. By default 10999 for Master and 11000 for Cave.

docker run \
    -p 10999:10999/udp \
    -p 11000:11000/udp \
    -v $(pwd)/MyDediServer:/home/steam/.klei/DoNotStarveTogether/MyDediServer \
    --name dst-dedicated 
    -it catoverflow/dst-server

Modding

Follow the instructions in container at /home/steam/dst-dedicated/mods/dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua

For mod settings, you can configure them in DST GUI and ship the settings at ~/.klel/DoNotStarveTogether/MyDediServer/[Master|Cave]/modoverrides.lua

Manage DST CLI

Tmux is used in multi-process management. A DST-dedicated session is created with window Master and Cave responsible for Master (main world) and Cave server.

docker attach dst-dedicated
# then use ^C-b + [0|1] to switch between Master and Cave tmux windows, ^C-p + q to detach from container

Known Issues

• Mapping different ports for cave server will make it unusable. Once you enter the cave you will be locked out, as the master server keeps redirecting you to inaccessible cave server port outside the container.
• If offline mode or LAN only option is on, only ports within range [10998, 11018] can be used. This is DST feature :）
