FreeSO Docker

Running a FreeSO server on a Docker compose stack.

Note: This will not be support for FreeSO itself, report any problems on the official repo.

Requirements

• Linux x64 server or WSL (not tested)
• Basic understanding on Linux

How to run

1. First create directories (auth, nfs, vars).
2. Copy config.sample.json to config.json.
3. Create an .env file with the following content:

DB_USERNAME=fsoserver
DB_PASSWORD=[password]
DB_NAME=fso

4. Download or compile the FreeSO server. If downloaded, extract the content to the server subdirectory. If compiled, rename the output directory as FreeSOServer.
5. Put it in a subdirectory as FreeSOServer. (ex. server/FreeSOServer)
6. Create a docker image for the FreeSO server by doing docker build . -t freeso on the server subdirectory.
7. Download and extract TSO files (TSOClient folder), and rename the TSOClient folder to game on the root directory.
8. Change the server for the database ip to db as it will connect to the mariadb container.
9. Follow the guide from the FreeSO repo.
10. Run the server as docker compose up -d.
