psykzz Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I use docker alot for other servers, so i thought about creating a docker image for Avorion. You can find the image on docker hub and on github. Links below. Docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/psykzz/avorion-docker/ Github: https://github.com/psykzz/avorion-docker If you already know about docker, you can get started with the following one-liner. mkdir ./data && docker run --name avorion -d -v `pwd`/data:/root/.avorion/galaxies/avorion_galaxy -p 27000:27000 -p 27000:27000/udp -p 27003:27003 -p 27003:27003/udp psykzz/avorion-docker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageHunter Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Awesome idea! I thought about this step myself. I like the "don't mess the host" effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splutty Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 What is the advantage of using a docker? www.docker.com It's basically a rollout/container/configuration kind of tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageHunter Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The easiest comparison for Docker would be that it acts somehow as kind of virtual machine. The differences are, that you don't simulate a whole system, but just a part of the existing system. That makes it also much more performant than a VM. Instead of installing the application and its requirements on the server itself, it's all installed in the docker container. So you create a docker container for an application like avorion server and run it on any system docker supports (with some restrictions). So an application can be defined / configured once and is then portable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
