Resource Considerations

Before proceeding with Docker, consider the resource implications:

Stationeers servers can be resource-intensive depending on:

  • Base size and complexity
  • Logic systems
  • Number of players
  • Atmosphere calculations

Large setups may require 12+ CPU cores and 30GB+ of RAM. Docker adds some overhead that may impact performance for resource-intensive servers.

Docker works well for lightweight setups, but bare metal or a VM might be better for larger projects.

Building Your Own Docker Image

To build the Docker image locally:

  1. Clone the Repository

    git clone https://github.com/jacksonthemaster/StationeersServerUI.git
cd StationeersServerUI

  2. Build the Image

    docker build -t stationeers-server-ui:latest .

  3. Run the Image

    docker run -d --name stationeers-ui -p 8443:8443 -p 27016:27016 -v ./UIMod/config:/app/UIMod/config -v ./saves:/app/saves stationeers-server-ui:latest

    • Check if the container is running:

      docker ps

    • View logs (if debugging is needed):

      docker logs stationeers-ui

    • Stop the container:

      docker stop stationeers-ui

Running with Docker Compose (Own Image)

  1. Create (or use provided) compose.yml File

    services:
  stationeers-server:
    container_name: stationeers-server
    build : .
    image: stationeers-server-ui:latest
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: '4'
          memory: 16G
          pids: 1
        reservations:
          cpus: '2'
          memory: 4G
    ports:
      - "8443:8443"
      - "27015:27015/tcp"
      - "27015:27015/udp"
      - "27016:27016/tcp"
      - "27016:27016/udp"
    volumes:
      - ./saves:/app/saves:rw
      - ./UIMod/config:/app/UIMod/config:rw
    environment:
      - STEAMCMD_DIR=/app/steamcmd
    restart: unless-stopped

  2. Build the Docker Image

    docker compose build

  3. Run Docker Compose

    docker compose up -d

  4. Check Logs (Optional)

    docker compose logs -f

    Press CTRL+C to exit the log view.
