factorio-docker-watchdog VS factorio-docker

Spin up a docker instance https://github.com/factoriotools/factorio-docker, forward the router ports & slap a quick password on the factorio server.

I was working with this repo, which seems to be the most popular solution. The issue I can't resolve is that Docker would complain that it was unable to create the require directories as it doesn't have permission. I tried to troubleshoot myself but was unable to do so (I'm not very familiar with Docker unfortunately). I'm working with a Mac and have the most recent version of Docker installed.

My buddy and I have been playing normal multiplayer and I just got all the hardware I need to start a server and was looking at doing it through docker with factoriotools. I didn't see anything about being able to import an old save and I don't want to start over since we were really close to the rocket. Does anybody know if you can import a save? Thanks in advance!

Run it in a container: https://github.com/factoriotools/factorio-docker

Hello, I have been trying to use docker on windows to run a factorio server. (docker image)

may help this

I saw there was another repository, https://github.com/factoriotools/factorio-docker-watchdog . I'm not quite sure what it does, but is it something I could use to automatically do this whenever there's an update?

I got the new DS224+ which comes with an Intel processor so it seems like the perfect server setup. I just started looking into this but this docker image seems perfect. Now DSM has changed it's docker app name to "Container Manager" which was the first hurdle I had to get over. Now I need to figure out how to setup the config for the docker image and setup a secure server that's exposed to the outside. (I got a unifi network running.) Anyone done this yet? Any pointers?

In the end my Factorio server ended up running bare metal just because it was easier, so I might not be the right person to answer that. :) I just did https://github.com/factoriotools/factorio-docker before I tore it down, basically.

I am running a factorio server via the docker image from https://github.com/factoriotools/factorio-docker. Running the server, setting up mods and running a custom save all work fine.

There already exist Docker images for factorio servers, enabling one-click download, installation and running of a server. https://hub.docker.com/r/factoriotools/factorio

Update... I used the container found here and modified the docker-compose file to set QEMU_EXECVE=1 in the environment variables. Assuming you have the qemu-user-static package installed, this will utilize QEMU user space emulation for the container. Works fine so far, no checksum issues. No idea how fast it is though compared to box64. I'm also on the oracle cloud ARM box you have.

How long until Steam auto-updates generally? There's already a new image on factoriotools and I updated my server but haven't gotten the update on steam yet, so now they're out of sync.

And here's where the image is (with instructions and all): https://github.com/factoriotools/factorio-docker.

Almost just plug-and-play.
