Daniel Ceregatti d87c5fad0e Create a dedicated means by which we can run interactive prompts to effect tasks such as (all WIP):

Logging into to Steam, accounting for Steam Guard. These credentials persist throughout the lifetime of the docker volume storing the data.
  Adding/removing/managing workshop items. The goal is to also manage the "=mod=" parameter.
  Listing the auto-generated RCON password.
  Backing up.
Further refine the original dayzserver script. In docker, a lot of the other stuff wasn't necessary so a lot is just being removed.
Install steamcmd into the container in Dockerfile and adjust paths.
Vastly updated docs!

DayZDockerServer

A Linux DayZ server in a Docker container. The main script's functionality is derived from this project. That functionality is described here. The goal is to reproduce all that functionality and add even more while keeping it all in Docker.

Caveat Emptor

As of DayZ release 1.15, a Linux DayZ server was made available in Dayz Experimental. This has not been officially released, so this will only run a DayZ Experimental server at the moment. Only the DayZ Experimental client will be able to connect to it.

This process will create a docker volume for the unprivileged user's home directory, which stores the DayZ server files. This volume can get quite large. It will require at least 2G of disk space for the default install. Much more with mods.

Setup, Build. and Configure

Edit files/serverDZ.cfg and set the values of any variables there. See the documentation:

hostname = "Something other than Server Name";   // Server name

Optionally edit files/beserver_x64.cfg and set the RCON password:

RConPassword h4CKm3

If the above step is not performed, a random RCON password will be generated and output on the first run. It can also be obtained and reset. (See Management)

Add your Steam credentials. This step is necessary if you want to add mods. The vanilla server is installable by setting the steamlogin to anonymous. Edit files/steamlogin and set the steam username.

steamlogin=your_real_steam_username_or_anonymous

If you choose not to be anonymous, then you must login using your credentials. This is an interactive process that will prompt for the password and Steam Guard code. This only needs to be done once.

Either way, we must build the container fist:

docker-compose build

Now login:

docker-compose run --rm run manage login

Run

Launch the container into the background:

docker-compose up -d run

Tail the log:

docker-compose logs -f run

Manage

Workshop

To add a workshop item, edit files/workshop.cfg and add the item's id after the comment. Each id should be on its own line, after the comment, which should not be removed. Install them:

docker-compose run --rm manage

Makage -mod= command line

TODO

Update the server
Restart the server
RCON to the server?
List current rocn password
Detect changes to config files and propagate them, with prompting.
