Xonotic Gaming Server

This repository contains an updated Dockerfile to easily set up and host Xonotic gaming server using Docker. Xonotic is a fast-paced first-person shooter that you can host and play online with friends.

Requirements

• Make sure Docker is installed on your system.

How to Use

Step 1: Pull the Docker Image

Just pull docker image:

docker pull umair101/xonotic-server:latest

Alternatively, you can also build from the Dockerfile by cloning this repo.

Step 2: Run the Docker Container

Once you have the you can run the Xonotic server with this command:

docker run -d --name xonotic-server -p 26000:26000/udp -p 26000:26000 umair101/xonotic-server:latest

Explanation:

• -d Runs the container in detached mode (background).
• --name xonotic-server Gives your container a name (you can change it).
• -p 26000:26000/udp Exposes the default UDP port for Xonotic (port 26000).
• -p 26000:26000 Ensures the TCP port is also mapped if needed (may depend on your server setup).
• umair101/xonotic-server:latest Specifies the image to use.

Step 3: Connect to Your Server

Once the server is up and running, you can connect to it from your Xonotic game client using the your IP address:

<Your_Server_IP>:26000

Step 4: Stop the Server

To stop the server, run the following command:

docker stop xonotic-server

To remove the container after stopping it:

docker rm xonotic-server

Step 5: Customize the Server

You can customize the Xonotic server by editing the configuration file server.cfg located in the /opt/Xonotic/data/ directory. To do this:

1. Access the Container:

   docker exec -it xonotic-server bash

2. Edit the Configuration: Edit the server.cfg file using a text editor inside the container:

   nvim /opt/Xonotic/data/server.cfg

3. Restart the Server to apply changes:

   docker restart xonotic-server

Additional Notes

• Persistence: By default, the container will not store persistent data. If you want to preserve server data (e.g., configuration, maps, etc.), mount a host directory as a volume:

  docker run -d --name xonotic-server -p 26000:26000/udp -v /path/to/your/server/data:/opt/Xonotic/data xonotic-server
