Dockerfile for automated build of a Project Zomboid gameserver

Project Zomboid Dedicated Server for Docker

1. Ensure to change the "changeme" values in the Dockerfile.
2. -Xms and -Xmx flags can be added to entry.sh to manage memory. Check other Project Zomboid startup parameters
3. git clone https://github.com/tomasdev/pzsv
4. cd pzsv
5. docker build -t pzsv .
6. docker run -d -p $HOST_IP:16261:16261/udp -ti pzsv

To change the ini file (pending work)

1. docker ps -a to list all containers, to find the CONTAINER_ID. If the container is not running, probably there's an error on the logs.
2. docker logs -f $CONTAINER_ID to see the live logs on the server starting up. Look for the line Zomboid Server is VAC Secure
3. docker exec -it $CONTAINER_ID bash to ssh into the container
4. (inside the container) nano Zomboid/Server/changeme.ini to change the settings of the server.
5. docker stop $CONTAINER_ID && docker start $CONTAINER_ID to restart the server and pickup the changes.
