RPF_Docker

Docker image for running RPFramework on ubuntu (18.04)

Critical Edit

As mysql run in a different container from the one where we are running arma3server, you'll require to replace in mnt/@extDB3/extdb3-conf.ini the 127.0.0.1 IP with mysqlserver. Or you can just move the extdb3-conf.ini located in armaDocker/misc in mnt/mods/@extDB3 and replace the existing one

Files

envVars.yml

This file handles every variable you may want to edit. The values are defined at runtime , so it is possible to edit them without the need of rebuilding the container.

STEAM_USER : Your steam username STEAM_PASSWORD: Your steam password

STEAM_GUARD_CODE: If you have steam guard code enabled, the first time you try to run the container, an exception will be thrown and the container will close. Before attempting to rerun it, set this variable to the steam guard code you received on your email

ARMA3_LAUNCH_COMMAND: Command that will be issued in order to launch arma 3 server

VALIDATE_SERVER:(1,0) Validate game files each docker-compose run. Disabling this will result in shorter loading times.

FAST_START:(1,0) Enabling this will reduce significantly loading times. Enable only after having logged in with steamcmd.

Mysql related variables

There are mainly two scenarios available; 1- Access with root The file is already configured for this kind of access. Password is "root".

2- Access with custom mysql user You'll need to remove both MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD and MYSQL_ROOT_HOST.

Add MYSQL_USER specifying a new username and MYSQL_PASSWORD specifying a password.

Do not remove MYSQL_RPF_COMMAND!
