docker-conanexiles

NOTE

Mod support reworked. Manual Installation with mods.txt File will no longer work. Use the New Env Variable. See the mods section within this readme for more informations and the list of mods we are currently using on our dedicated server - i can heavily recommend them.

While configuring my server and trying to fix some shortcomings i stumbled over an overwhelming good post about server tweaks: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2130895654. After enabling those settings, conanexiles feels indeed like another game. I added those configs within the example docker-compose.yml and also within this Readme. Hopefuly this will make you game experience alot better...

Features

Full automatic provisioning of Steam and Conan Exiles Dedicated Server
Mod Support
Autoupdate and restart of the Conan Exiles server
Full control of every config aspect via Environment variables
Templates for first time setup
Running multiple instances with multiple config directories
RCON Support (Ingame Broadcast Msgs for Server events like update) --> DEFAULT ENABLED

Usage

READ the following sections Storage options, First Time Setup, Multi Instance Setup & Environment Variables and Config Options if you have not used this image before!

Get started

curl -LJO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alinmear/docker-conanexiles/master/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose pull

Start all services (3 games services and 1 redis)

docker-compose up -d

Start one game service and redis

docker compose up -d

Update image and rollout

docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d

Shutdown

docker-compose down

Create a simplified `docker-compose.yml`

The docker-compose.yml file can be customized e.g. if you do not want to run several game servers.

podman-compose:

podman-compose -f podman-compose.yml up

# recreate for testing. CARE: all volumes will be removed and new created --> data will be lost
# podman-compose -f podman-compose.yml up --force-recreate

NOTE: if you are on a system using podman instead of docker you can simply install podman-compose via:

pip3 install --user https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/archive/devel.tar.gz

At the moment we need to use the devel branch, because the support for volumes is only available there. Also restart: unless-stopped is not supported so we need to replace this with restart: always.

Example

version: "3.5"

Storage options

A persistent data storage for the configuration and game data is required.

No persistance = data is gone when the container shuts down!

With Docker you got two options Volumes and Bind mounts - https://docs.docker.com/storage/#more-details-about-mount-types

First Time Setup

Provide a Config

If there is a folder with configurations found at /tmp/docker-conanexiles this folder will be copied to the config folder of the server. This will only happen if there is no configuration already existing (the case of a clean container initialization).

Default Templates

Use the environment variable CONANEXILES_SERVER_TYPE=pve to use the pve template; otherwise the pvp template will be used if no configuration has been provided.

Multi Instance Setup

It is possible to run multiple server instances with 1 Server Installation. For better understanding we have to split the conan-exiles installation into two parts:

Binaries for running the server
Configurations for an instance (db, configs)

We can create an architecture like this:

- BINARY
-> Instance 1 (Master-Server)
--> ConfigFolder1
-> Instance 2 (Slave-Server)
--> ConfigFolder2
-> Instance 3 (Slave-Server)
--> ConfigFolder3
-> Instance n (Slave-Server)
--> ConfigFolderN

The Master-Server is taking care about the binaries, more precisely keeping it up to date. If there is a new update, the master server will notify the Slave-Servers for shutting down to make the update. Afterwards the master informs the Slave-Servers to spin up again.

NOTE: There should always be only 1 Master-Server-Instance, otherwise it could break your setup, if two master server are updating at the same time.

!! STANDARD-Behavior: The Docker Image itself sets der master-server value to 1, which means that each server is a master server. For a multi instance setup you have to explicit set CONANEXILES_MASTERSERVER=0. You also have to specify the CONANEXILES_INSTANCENAME, otherwise your instances would write changes into the same db --> kaboom.

ENV-VARS to Setup:

CONANEXILES_MASTERSERVER = 0/1
CONANEXILES_INSTANCENAME = <name>
- Used for the DB and config file dir of the instance (-usedir)
CONANEXILES_PORT = 7777
- Standard Port, for multiple instance you have to increment this per instance e.g. instance 0 Port 7777, instance 1 Port 7779, instance n Port 77yn
- NOTE: You also have to adjust the proper port mapping within the compose file
CONANEXILES_QUERYPORT = 27015
- Standard QueryPort, same as Port for multiple instances e.g. instance 0 QueryPort 27015, instance 1 QueryPort 27017, instance n QueryPort 270yn
- NOTE: You also have to adjust the proper port mapping within the compose file

Default: CONANEXILES_MASTERSERVER = 1 (only the master server is able to make updates) Default: CONANEXILES_INSTANCENAME = saved (the default config folder name)

Mod Support

Mods can be install with the global env variable CONANEXILES_MODS. Specify ModIDs as comma separated list there. E.g.

version: "3.5"

services:
  ce0:
    image: alinmear/docker-conanexiles:latest
    depends_on: 
      - redis
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      # Pippi: 880454836                                    # Servermanagemnt on another level
      # Fashionist: 1159180273                              # Nice Styles, also restyle ingame

      # Javelin Improved: 1701136207                        # One of the best, new javelin combos and styles, well balanced
      - "CONANEXILES_MODS=880454836,1159180273,1389908968,1369743238,2050780234,2356146223,1701136207"

NOTE: Yout can get the modids from Steamworkshop.

After a restart the mods will be downloaded, activated and updated via steamworkshop.

Environment Variables and Config Options

A conan exiles dedicated server uses a lot of configuration options to influence nearly every aspect of the game logics. To have full control of this complex configuration situation i implemented a logic to set these values in every config files.

ConanExiles uses a common ini format. That means that a config file has the following logic:

[section1]
key1=value
key2=value

[section2] 
key1=value
key2=value

ConanExiles uses the following config files:

CharacterLOD.ini
Compat.ini
DeviceProfiles.ini
EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini
Engine.ini
Game.ini
GameUserSettings.ini
GameplayTags.ini
GraniteCooked.ini
GraniteCookedMod.ini
Hardware.ini
Input.ini
Lightmass.ini
Scalability.ini
ServerSettings.ini

Logic

To set values in one of these ini files use the following logic to set environment variables: CONANEXILES_<filename>_<section>_<key>_<value>

Examples

To set e.g. the AdminPassword use the following logic: CONANEXILES_ServerSettings_ServerSettings_AdminPassword=ThanksForThisSmartSolution (Note: The ini files is named ServerSettings.ini and the Section within the file has also the name ServerSettings)

To set e.g. the Servername and a ServerPassword: CONANEXILES_Engine_OnlineSubSystemSteam_ServerName="My Cool Server" CONANEXILES_Engine_OnlineSubSystemSteam_ServerPassword="MySecret"

NOTE: If an Environment Variable is set it will override the value within the specified ini file at every container startup. If an ServerAdmin manually changes values within the game, these will be lost after container restart.

List of separated environment variables

CONANEXILES_SERVER_TYPE This Variable defines the profile for the first time setup at container provisioning, if no config folder has been provided.

==> pvp ==> pve

CONANEXILES_CMDSWITCHES With this variable you are able to append switches to the exiles run command.

e.g. CONANEXILES_CMDSWITCHES="-MULTIHOME=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" will result in command=wine64 /conanexiles/ConanSandbox/Binaries/Win64/ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Test.exe -nosteamclient -game -server -log -userdir=%(ENV_CONANEXILES_INSTANCENAME)s -MULTIHOME=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

CONANEXILES_UPDATE_SHUTDOWN_TIMER With this variable you can set the amount of time in minutes, the server waits to shutdown for an update.
