Space Engineers TorchAPI dedicated server docker image

Abstract

A wine64 / archlinux-based dockerization of TorchAPI Space Engineers dedicated server.

Base image with required system and .net packages is extracted to https://github.com/iamtakingiteasy/se-torchapi-ds-base-docker repository to reduce build times

It uses win64 wineprefix with all required .net 4.6.1 packages installed with winetricks.

Sadly, as usual with windows software, this one is heavily tied to GUI.

Even with nogui=true setting / -nogui flag torchserver still tries to create (possibly invisible) windows and fails if executed in true headless environment.

To counter that to some extent, xvfb and x11vnc is used. Openbox is added to allow window manipulation.

Example usage

docker run -v /home/data/your/server/data:/home/user/data -p 0.0.0.0:27016:27016/udp -p 127.0.0.1:5900:5900 -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 iamtakingiteasy/setorchapids:latest

Entrypoint checks if /home/user/data directory is empty, and if it is -- copies torch distribution to it before starting the server.

se-torchapi-ds-docker's Issues

Crash

VNC GUI reports "A program on your system has crashed, but WineDbg was unable to attach to the process to obtain a backtrace"

In the docker output is:
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0000000000000008 at address 00007FE04F6FBBD7 (thread 0019), starting debugger...

Any ideas?
