Run Exile Vanilla Server in Docker image

Exile

Provides a default Exile server.

How to build this image?

As usual :

	docker build -t <image name> .

As Exile needs a database to run, it's possible to customize database credentials at built time :

docker build \\
	--build-arg DATABASE_HOST=<host> \
	--build-arg DATABASE_NAME=<name> \
	--build-arg DATABASE_USER=<user> \
	--build-arg DATABASE_PASSWORD=<password> \
	 -t <image name> .

How to use this image?

First run only

You will need first a database to run Exile.

First create a volume :

docker volume create exile-database-content

Then use docker to populate volume:

docker pull mysql/mysql-server:5.7.19-1.1.1
docker run --name arma-3-exile-database -v exile-database-content:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<your root password> -d mysql/mysql-server:5.7.19-1.1.1 --sql-mode=ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Connect to database and run scripts :

(winpty) docker exec -it arma-3-exile-database mysql -u root -p
create database if not exists <database_name>;
create user '<database_user>'@'%' identified by '<database_password>';
grant all privileges on database_name.* to 'database_user'@'%';
flush privileges;

Then copy and paste Exile SQL database initialisation file in console, then type "Exit".

Nominal mode

Run the previously created database :

docker run --name <database container name>
	-v <data directory>:/var/lib/mysql
	-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<your password>
	-d mysql/mysql-server:5.7.19-1.1.1
	--sql-mode=ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Run exile image, linked to the database :

docker run --name <exile container name>  \
	--link <database container name>:mysql \
	-p 2302:2302/udp -p 2303:2303/udp -p 2304:2304/udp -p 2305:2035/udp \
	-d <image name>

## Custom configuration

```bash
docker run --name <exile container name> \
	--mount src=<yourVolume>,target=/opt/arma3/conf \
	-p 2302:2302/udp \
	-p 2303:2303/udp \
	-p 2304:2304/udp \
	-p 2305:2305/udp \
	-d <exile image name> \
	-config=/opt/arma3/conf/server.cfg \
	-cfg=/opt/arma3/conf/basic.cfg

With AdminToolKit (ATK)

You first have to customize your mission and server files according to your needs (see official project ).

Then mount your customized file to replace files embedded :

docker run -it --link exile-mysql:mysql \
  -p 2302:2302/udp -p 2303:2303/udp -p 2304:2304/udp -p 2305:2305/udp \
  -e  EXILE_CONFIG_PASSWORD_COMMAND=<your password> \
  -v <absolute path to file admintoolkit.bikey>:/opt/arma3/keys/admintoolkit.bikey \
  -v <absolute path to directory AdminToolkitServer>:/opt/arma3/@AdminToolkitServer \
  -v <absolute path to file Exile.Altis.pbo>:/opt/arma3/mpmissions/Exile.Altis.pbo \
  -t <exile image name> \
  "-config=@ExileServer/config.cfg" \
	"-servermod=@ExileServer;@AdminToolkitServer" \
	"-mod=@Exile;expansion;heli;jets;mark" \
	-autoinit
