Login. Still WIP, but works. Install server files. Once logged in, this works. Add support for experimental in both web and scripts. WIP. Continuous streaming text web interface for long-running server processes. Large refactor of the config file. Use arrays instead of delimited strings. Large refactor of the express server to support the above. Add Steam API key to env for when we do mod searches. Customize the bash shell of the web container should we exec into it. Ignore the env file. |

DayZDockerServer
A Linux DayZ server orchestration tool in a Docker container.
Features
- SteamCMD integration for installing the DayZ server and mods.
- A web UI for logging into Steam, managing server files and mods, and provisioning and running servers.
- Seamless integrations for many popular mods. Many require XML/JSON modifications or additions to the game files to work properly. See files/mods/README.md for a list of supported mods.
- Base server files are restored to their upstream state before every server start and all mod integrations are re-applied at that time. This allows for seamless upgrades when the server files are updated (as long as XML schema doesn't change, which is rare).
- Everything runs in Docker containers. Docker volumes are used to persist data. The web tool is the main container, which orchestrates server containers, however many your machine can handle.
- Shared docker volumes. All servers share the server files and mod volumes. Avoids duplication of many gigs of files. Updates are faster as there is only one copy.
Build and Run
Ensure Docker and Docker compose and git are properly installed. Make sure you're running these commands as your user, in your home directory, not as root.
Clone the repo, and change into the newly created directory:
git clone https://ceregatti.org/git/daniel/dayzdockerserver.git
cd dayzdockerserver
Build the Docker image and bring the stack up in the background:
```shell
docker compose up --build -d
Tail the log to see when the web UI is ready, and get the URL and password:
docker compose logs -f web
Hit control c to exit the log. Go to the URL shown in the log.
Web UI
Once at the web UI, you will be prompted to set a username and password for the web tool. Once done, a form will be presented to log into Steam. Downloading DayZ server files and mods using steamcmd requires a Steam account with DayZ in the library. The values will be first used by the steamcmd command line to perform a one-time login to Steam, and when successful, create a session that requires only that the username be saved locally. This supports Steam Guard codes. Neither the password nor the code will be stored. Subsequent calls to steamcmd by the web container will not require the credentials again until the session expires, which may be many months.
After a successful login to Steam, the server files will automatically start downloading. The web UI will show the main page, which will list the progress of the download. The server files are about 3GB.

Linux Server Caveats
- Some mods are known to crash the server on startup or when a player connects:
- DayZ Expansion AI
- Survivor Animations
- Red Falcon Flight System Heliz - Bug report here
- All these mods are like due to the same underlying bug.
- Some mods work, but have bugs:
- DayZ Expansion Groups
- The save file becomes corrupted and when the server restarts so the changes do not persist.
- DayZ Expansion Groups
- There are other bugs:
TODO
- Add CF tools
- Support for experimental servers.
- Rootless Docker
