What is Project Zomboid?

Project Zomboid is an open world survival horror video game in development by British and Canadian independent developer The Indie Stone. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested world where the player is challenged to survive for as long as possible

Project Zomboid

How to use

After first launch, the container should be restarted. This will allow the container to overwrite values in the config

There are 2 persitant directories to set

• /home/steam/Zomboid: hold server configuration, needed to persist save and settings
• /home/steam/projectzomboid-dedicated: holds server files, recommended by CM2Walki/steamcmd to enable faster and better updating

Here is an example docker-compose file

version: "3"

services:      
  projectzomboid:
    image: matm616/projectzomboid:latest
    container_name: projectzomboid
    restart: unless-stopped
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    environment:
      - RCON_PASSWORD=SuperSecretRcon
      - ADMIN_PASSWORD=SuperSecretAdmin
      - SERVER_PASSWORD=SuperSecretServer
    ports:
      - 8766:8766/udp
      - 8767:8767/udp
      - 16261:16261/udp
    volumes:
      - /home/ubuntu/projectzomboid/server:/home/steam/projectzomboid-dedicated
      - /home/ubuntu/projectzomboid/config:/home/steam/Zomboid

Final Notes

Use at own risk, this is the first time I created a docker image and it's messy
