TShock Dockerfile

Usage

TShock is somewhat annoying as it requires user interaction when run.

To build the image and create a container, run:

docker build -t tshock .
docker create -it -p 7777:7777 -v $PWD/tshock:/app/tshock -v $PWD/Terraria:/root/.local/share/Terraria -e WORLD=world-name-here --name tshock tshock

Replacing world-name-here with the name of your world file.

If migrating from uncontainerized TShock, you can find these folders at ./tshock and ~/.local/share/Terraria (may be /root/.local/share/Terraria, see #2021). You should just be able to copy them into the current directory, or edit the docker create command above to refer to the old directories (don't forget to use absolute paths).

To start the server, run:

docker start tshock

To stop the server: run docker attach tshock and press CTRL-C

Create a new world

To create a new world, run the following command and follow the instructions (the container must already be built):

docker run --rm -it -p 7777:7777 -v $PWD/tshock:/app/tshock -v $PWD/Terraria:/root/.local/share/Terraria tshock mono TerrariaServer.exe
