New Docker Container with GUI to manage multiple dedicated server instances NOW 14.0!!

[andreashauschild]

Hi All,

I have publish a docker container can host mutiple dedicated servers at once.

The container allows you to host multiple instances of OpenTTD dedicated servers in a single container, providing an efficient and convenient environment for hosting these servers.

It provides the following features:

• Login protected admin gui

• Lanaging multiple dedicated OpenTTD server instance. You just need to expose the needed ports on container startup.

• Upload/Download of save games and configuration files

• Password protection for dedicated servers

• Auto save of running servers

• Auto pause and unpause on inactive servers. If no player is playing the server is running but paused. Server unpauses if a player joins a company.

• Simple terminal to send commands directly to the dedicated server

The Project is on github and open source: https://github.com/andreashauschild/openttd-server
Docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/hauschi86/openttd-server

You need a detailed instruction here, starting with how to buy a VPS, and how to install Docker on it. With screenshots. Including instructions how to enter a credit card number, because some users will have problems even with that.

In my opinion, a person who doesn't know how to do this (and doesn't know where to look for instructions) should not be operating a public server. But actually, non-technical people can just install OpenTTD on their personal machines and click the "Start server" button — easy and free of charge.

This is what i'd recommend to people anyway to be fair, also openttd is fairly easy to use on a linux box anyway if you have basically any spare machine at home you can run, and then run the server just from 'openttd -D'

The server was updated to version 13.4 of openttd.

Happy playing
