Quickly deploy a dedicated Terraria server via Docker

• Your host is ready to run docker containers
• You have a world file already

If you don't have a world file already, checkout the beardedio/terraria GitHub page for instructions on creating a world.

Included in this repo are two files:

• serverconfig.txt
• banlist.txt

Copy these files as well as your world file to a destination path you'd like to store your world.

My path: /mnt/media/games/terraria/rakara

Things you may want to modify in serverconfig.txt before running the server:

• motd (message of the day)
• password

Take a look at the other options in the file as well.

If you want to use a hostname to connect to your server instead of IP address, and if you use Cloudflare as your nameserver, do this:

mv ddclient-sample.conf ddclient.conf

Then edit the ddclient.conf file for your needs

Set the location of your world file:

export HOST_WORLD_PATH=/mnt/media/games/terraria/rakara

export HOST_WORLD_FILENAME=Rakara.wld

docker run -dit \
  --name=terraria-rakara \
  -v $HOST_WORLD_PATH:/config \
  -e world=$HOST_WORLD_FILENAME \
  -p 7777:7777 \
  beardedio/terraria:vanilla-latest

Create the env file

cp .env-sample .env

Modify .env:

vim .env

If you dont want to use ddclient, just delete that container from the docker-compose.yml file.

Start it:

docker-compose up -d
