Docker setup

3 steps

  1. Download

    Free anonymous download, Steam app 443030, about 4.2 GB. Linux build.

    docker volume create conan_files
docker run --rm -v conan_files:/data steamcmd/steamcmd:latest \
  +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType linux +force_install_dir /data \
  +login anonymous +app_info_update 1 +app_update 443030 validate +quit
docker run --rm -v conan_files:/data alpine chown -R 1000:1000 /data

  2. Run

    game_runtime image as on the Palworld page. Exact bench command. Add -p 7777-7778:7777-7778/udp -p 27015:27015/udp to publish the ports.

    printf 'FROM ubuntu:24.04\nRUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends ca-certificates libcurl4t64 && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*\nUSER ubuntu\n' | docker build -t game_runtime -
docker run -d --name conan --init --memory 11g \
  -v conan_files:/conan -w /conan game_runtime \
  ./ConanSandbox/Binaries/Linux/ConanSandboxServer-Linux-Shipping ConanSandbox -log

  3. Ready line

    18.1 seconds after container start.

    docker exec conan sh -c 'tail -F /conan/ConanSandbox/Saved/Logs/ConanSandbox.log' | grep -m1 'Started SourceServerQueries'

Settings

7 settings

Launch options, or ini files in ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/LinuxServer. ServerSettings.ini is written on first start; add Engine.ini and Game.ini as needed.

SettingWhat it does
-Port=7777Game port, UDP; the pinger uses the next port.
-QueryPort=27015Steam query port, UDP.
-ServerNameName in the server list. Default: Conan Exiles Server.
-ServerPasswordJoin password.
-RconPortRCON port, TCP; enable RCON in Game.ini.
MaxPlayers 40Player slots, default from the startup report.
AdminPasswordServerSettings.ini.

Troubleshooting

5 problems
Ready line
'Started SourceServerQueries on port 27015' prints after the map loads.
docker stop waits the full timeout
Both SIGTERM and SIGINT (docker stop -s INT) end in a kill at the timeout, exit 137. With SIGINT the log shows the engine shutting down first.
BinkMoviePlayer errors in the log
Title-screen movies; harmless on a server.
Old UE4 server
Steam branch conan-exiles-legacy: add -beta conan-exiles-legacy to app_update.
Config folder on Linux
ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/LinuxServer, not WindowsServer. World save: ConanSandbox/Saved/game_0.db.

Changes from defaults

  • Shipped binary as ConanSandboxServer.sh starts it, plus -log. Default settings.
  • Funcom's server docs cover Windows; the Linux server ships in the same Steam app.
  • Memory in use rose 1.2 GB from minute 31 to minute 42 (8.6 to 9.8 GB), then settled at 8.8 GB.
  • An earlier run with a 12 GB limit rose at the same point, to 10.4 GB.
