dedicated-megamek-container

This repo is to aid in setting up and running a dedicate megamek server as a container.

Within the Dockerfile there is a URL for the release you want to build. I will eventually create a variable for the version.

Currently this is built from the following release:

https://github.com/MegaMek/megamek/releases/download/v0.46.1/megamek-0.46.1.tar.gz

You can build any release by updating the download URL in the Dockerfile.

I am a Linux users so here are the steps I have used to build this container. If you are on some other OS, YMMV.

I am assuming you have Docker installed.

Create build space

mkdir buildspace; cd buildspace

Clone repo for building container

git clone [email protected]:andrewjkrull/dedicated-megamek-container.git

Build the docker continer to run dedicate server

cd ../dedicated-megamek-container
docker build --tag megamek:0.46.1 .

Running the container

We should now have a megamek container built. You can run the container with the following command:

docker run --rm -d -p 2346:2346 megamek:0.46.1

You should now be able to connect to the above dedicate megamek server on localhost or your LAN IP and port 2346
