# Introduction
|
|
This repository was forked from [carloe/docker-factorio](https://hub.docker.com/r/carloe/docker-factorio/) to build a custom configured server and provide extra information on how to setup a server using docker.
|
|
|
|
# Server Setup
|
|
|
|
AWS offers t2.micro instances that have a free period
|
|
|
|
# Connect to your server
|
|
|
|
Windows users will need to look at alterations for using PuTTY.
|
|
|
|
1. Make note of the IP address of your server (ipv4)
|
|
2. Open terminal
|
|
3. `ssh -i /path/my-key-pair.pem ec2-user@my-instance-public-dns-name`, replace 'my-instance-public-dns-name' with the IP address and the pem path to your cert.
|
|
|
|
# Build Your Server
|
|
|
|
The latest Factorio headless server is downloaded at build time.
|
|
|
|
1. `sudo yum install git`
|
|
2. `git clone https://github.com/LpmRaven/factorio-docker-server.git`
|
|
2. `cd factorio-docker-server`
|
|
3. Config your server (see section below then return here)
|
|
|
|
# Server Configuration
|
|
|
|
1. use vi to edit files. eg. `vi server-settings.json`
|
|
2. Edit the map-gen-settings.json file, map-settings.json file and the server-settings.json file (DO NOT RENAME THE FILES)
|
|
3. Continue to read the previous section
|
|
|
|
# Persisting Saves
|
|
|
|
Use a docker volume to persist the savegames on the host machine rather than in the docker container.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir $(pwd)/saves
|
|
|
|
# Make sure the saves dir can be written to by the "factorio" user in Docker, with uid 1000
|
|
sudo chown 1000:1000 $(pwd)/saves
|
|
# (alternatively, if you don't have root): chmod 777 $(pwd)/saves
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Load a Save/Map
|
|
|
|
To load a save, place the save file in the saves folder and name the file: factorio_save.zip
|
|
Remove all other files from the save folder as it will load the most recently updated file.
|
|
|
|
# Basic Usage
|
|
|
|
The init script will automatically create a new save game if none exists.
|
|
|
|
Then launch your container as usual.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo yum install docker -y
|
|
sudo service docker start
|
|
sudo docker build -t factorio-instance-name .
|
|
sudo docker run -d \
|
|
-v $(pwd)/saves:/opt/factorio/saves \
|
|
-p 34197:34197/udp \
|
|
--restart=always \
|
|
--name factorio-server \
|
|
factorio-instance-name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Play the game!
|
|
|
|
1. Open Factorio
|
|
2. Connect to your server `IPaddress:34197`, change IP address obviously.
|
|
3. Default password is `donationswelcome`, feel free to change it.
|
|
4. Play the game!
|
|
|
|
Enjoy. Hope this guide helped you setup your factorio server!
