System Configuration

Windows

Make sure to disable Windows Error Reporting or server control will be stuck on a server crash.

Install as a Windows Service with npm run install-windows-service.

Remove previously installed Windows Service with npm run uninstall-windows-service.

Wine

Make sure to disable Wine GUI Crash Dialog or server control will be stuck on a server crash. This is easiest solved using winetricks by running winetricks nocrashdialog. It can also be disabled manually. Read more at Wine FAQ.

Docker

Example

To host an Arma 3 x64 server with an existing Arma 3 Server install in subfolder arma3 with persisted profiles in profiles and shared network with host,

mkdir -p arma3 profiles
touch servers.json
docker run \
  --network=host \
  --env GAME_TYPE=arma3_x64 \
  --env GAME_PATH=/arma3 \
  --volume $PWD/arma3:/arma3 \
  --volume $PWD/servers.json:/app/servers.json \
  --volume $PWD/profiles:"/root/.local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles" \
  dahlgren/arma-server-web-admin

Required setup

Mount a preinstalled Arma server folder to the container, currently only the linux server is supported. Set GAME_TYPE to your desired arma server, for example --env GAME_TYPE=arma3 or --env GAME_TYPE=arma3_x64. Set GAME_PATH to your mounted volume, for example --env GAME_PATH=/arma3 and --volume $PWD/arma3:/arma3.

Networking

Host preferably needs to share network with the container or all game ports used will need to be forwarded to the container. Use --network=host to use same network as the host machine.

Web Admin UI is available at port 3000. If you use --network=host you can reach the web ui at http://localhost:3000 by default.

Persistence

Servers

Mount a file at /app/servers.json to persist the servers config. For example --volume $PWD/servers.json:/app/servers.json to use a file named servers.json in current folder as persistent servers config file.

Profiles

If you need to persist the server profiles such as vars file make sure to mount a volume. For Arma 3 the default profiles directory will be located at /root/.local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles
