Factorio Server Dockerized

This repository hosts a simple pre-built Docker image to set up a multiplayer server for Factorio.

It builds the latest version every day, so when a new version of factorio is released, it should be available in the next 24h in worst case.

Usage

If you want to start the container using the Docker CLI, you can use the following commands.

$ mkdir -p factorio/{mods,save}
$ docker pull ghcr.io/zekrotja/factorio:latest
$ docker run \
    --name factorio \
    -p 34197:34197/udp \
    -v $PWD/factorio/save:/var/save \
    -v $PWD/factorio/mods:/var/mods:ro \
    ghcr.io/zekrotja/factorio:latest

Or, when you want to use the provided docker-compose.yml, download it and run the stack.

$ curl -Lo docker-compose.yml \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zekroTJA/factorio-docker/master/docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d

Saves

When you do not put a save file in the mounted save (/var/save mount) volume, a new game save is created. If you want, you can pass parameters to the game creation process using the CREATE_ARGS evnironment vaiable.

Otherwise, you can put your save file in the save directory. The first file in this directory is then loaded on server startup.

Mods

You can also inject your mods you want to paly with by mounting /var/mods and placing your mod archives with the mod-list.json and mod-settings.dat into it.

Server Configuration

You can also pass custom command arguments to the container using the cmd parameter. For example, you can pass a custom server configuration file as following.

$ docker run \
    --name factorio \
    -p 34197:34197/udp \
    -v $PWD/factorio/save:/var/save \
    -v $PWD/factorio/mods:/var/mods:ro \
    -v $PWD/factorio/server-settings.json:/var/config/server-settings.json:ro \
    ghcr.io/zekrotja/factorio:latest \
        --server-settings /var/config/server-settings.json

You can also specify custom locations for ban or white lists by passing parameters and binding the specific paths to volumes.
