Arma 3 Server¶

Customize your image¶

Create a custom entrypoint.sh, to start the arma 3 server automaticly:

#!/bin/bash

# start arma 3 server if already installed
if [[ -e /home/linuxgsm/arma3server && -e /home/linuxgsm/serverfiles ]]; then
    ~/arma3server start
else
    # start the installation process
    cp /linuxgsm.sh ~/linuxgsm.sh
    echo 4 | ~/linuxgsm.sh install
    ~/arma3server install
fi


/usr/bin/tmux set -g status off && /usr/bin/tmux attach 2> /dev/null

tail -f /dev/null

exit 0

Create a custom Dockerfile, which extends the lgsm image:

FROM gameservermanagers/linuxgsm-docker

USER root

# install libtbb2:i386 for arma 3 extdb3
RUN dpkg --add-architecture i386 \
  && apt-get update -y \
  && apt-get upgrade -y \
  && apt-get install -y libtbb2:i386 \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# add custom entrypoint
COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh
RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh

USER linuxgsm

Build your customized lgsm image:
```
sudo docker build -t arma3server .
```

Start the arma3 server¶

Create your service definition in the docker-compose.yml of you games stack:

arma3:
  image: arma3server
  restart: always
  ports:
    - '2302:2302/udp'    # Arma 3 + voice over network
    - '2303:2303/udp'    # Steam Query
    - '2304:2304/udp'    # Steam Master
    - '2305:2305/udp'    # old Voice over Network
    - '2306:2306/udp'    # BattleEye
  volumes:
    - '/srv/games/arma3:/home/lgsm'

Start the service and execute a shell:

sudo docker-compose up -d arma3
sudo docker-compose exec arma3 bash

Add your steam account credentials to download the files of the gameserver.
I suggest you create a new account for this:
```
cat <<EOF >> ~/lgsm/config-lgsm/arma3server/arma3server.cfg
steamuser="YOUR_USERNMAE"
steampass='YOUR_PASSWORD'
EOF
```
Afterwards you can start the installation process:
```
./arma3server install
```

/srv/games/arma3/lgsm/config-lgsm/arma3server/arma3server.cfg

# arma 3 server / network config
