All-In-One Docker based Arma 3 Epoch Linux Server

Recommended Posts

The goal of this Docker image is to automate the install and setup of a Linux based Arma 3 server with the latest stable version of Epoch.

  1. First, install docker: https://www.docker.com/.

  2. Next, Start by pulling the docker image: 

    docker pull epochmodteam/arma3epochserver

     https://hub.docker.com/r/epochmodteam/arma3epochserver/

  3. Then start the server:
    docker run --rm -e STEAM_USERNAME='[email protected]' -e STEAM_PASSWORD='YourPassW0rd' --privileged -p 2302-2306:2302-2306/udp -it epochmodteam/arma3epochserver

    Note: the --rm here removes the server when stopped

Change the STEAM_USERNAME and STEAM_PASSWORD before running, as you must login to be able to download Arma 3 server files and workshop mods.

You can alternatively add a "credentials" file to the location you are running the command from and instead of specifying -e STEAM_USERNAME='[email protected]' -e STEAM_PASSWORD='YourPassW0rd' via command line use:
--env-file credentials

[email protected]
STEAM_PASSWORD=YourPassW0rd
 

If you want to persist data add the -v C:\Docker\data:/data option below and change the folder "C:\Docker\data" to a location you want to store the redis database. (Note: You will need to setup the Shared Drive in Docker > Settings.)

docker run --rm -e --env-file credentials --privileged -v C:\Docker\data:/data -p 2302-230:2302-2306/udp -it epochmodteam/arma3epochserver

 
Also, Epoch Experimental can be installed using: epochmodteam/arma3epochserver:experimental

Does this still work? I tried it and it looks like it doesn't see the epoch mod.

Thanks so much!

 

Is there a way for us to add scripts and other addons after install?  Changing the map in the server conf maybe?  I tried mounting a volume to store arma3 locally so I could modify files to run again, but the validation overwrites with vanilla.

 

Thanks!
