Docker setup

4 steps

  1. Download

    Free anonymous download, Steam app 1829350, about 1.9 GB. Force the Windows build.

    docker volume create vrising_files
docker run --rm -v vrising_files:/data steamcmd/steamcmd:latest \
  +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +force_install_dir /data \
  +login anonymous +app_info_update 1 +app_update 1829350 validate +quit
docker run --rm -v vrising_files:/data alpine chown -R 1000:1000 /data

  2. Wine image with a display

    The Wine image from the Enshrouded page, plus Xvfb.

    printf 'FROM wine_runtime\nUSER root\nRUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends xvfb xauth && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*\nUSER game\n' | docker build -t wine_x -

  3. Run

    Exact bench command. Add -p 9876-9877:9876-9877/udp to publish the ports.

    docker volume create vrising_save
docker run -d --name vrising --init --memory 12g \
  -v vrising_files:/vrising -w /vrising -v vrising_save:/home/game/save \
  wine_x sh -c 'Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x16 -nolisten tcp & sleep 1; DISPLAY=:0 exec wine ./VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataPath "Z:\\home\\game\\save" -logFile "Z:\\home\\game\\save\\server.log"'

  4. Ready line

    'Server Setup Complete' 11.9 seconds after container start.

    docker exec vrising tail -F /home/game/save/server.log | grep -m1 'Server Setup Complete'

Troubleshooting

4 problems
'Failed to create batch mode window' under Wine
V Rising needs a display. Run Xvfb in the container and set DISPLAY.
xvfb-run hangs in Docker
Start Xvfb directly before the server, and run the container with --init.
Server missing from the list
ListOnSteam and ListOnEOS are false by default. Set them to true.
Port to forward: 27015 or 9876
UDP 9876 and 9877 ship as defaults. 27015 and 27016 are examples in Stunlock's docs.

MachineAMD Ryzen 9 5950X, Proxmox VE 9, each game server in Docker inside a dedicated LXC container. 12 GB memory limit, no swap.
CommandXvfb :0 & wine VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataPath Z:\home\game\save -logFile Z:\home\game\save\server.log

Changes from defaults

  • Wine and a virtual display on Linux. Stunlock supports only Windows; Windows numbers can differ.
  • Shipped ServerHostSettings.json and ServerGameSettings.json unchanged.
  • Xvfb runs in the same container and counts toward its memory.
