foundryvtt-docker VS foundryvtt-raspberry-pi

Also using the felddy/FoundryVTT, nginx reverse-proxy, and lets-encrypt companion Docker containers.

I already have docker set up for Nextcloud, so threw on this guy, hooking into my existing reverse proxy+letsencrypt https://hub.docker.com/r/felddy/foundryvtt

What can you do 1. Set the default game world in Foundry configuration, that way you won't have to bother with selecting it after restart 2. The docker image has a healthcheck defined, but to my knowledge only Swarm makes use of it, every other orchestrator requires this to be defined separately. Look into azure docs to see how to define it. Have it test the whatever-is-your-url/api/status, compare the script here - this will auto restart the container if it hangs

I'll link to the github discussion I opened, rather than copy/pasting it all here: https://github.com/felddy/foundryvtt-docker/discussions/676

I'm getting ready to run a campaign for some friends using Foundry. To do this I'm running Foundry in a Docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/felddy/foundryvtt) running on a NUC at my house. I then use NAT to forward the required ports through my firewall so the other players can access it. It sounds more complex than it really is, and I'd be happy to answer any followup questions!

The use-case is as follows; I'm hosting Foundry Virtual Tabletop in a docker container on my NAS for a friend. He does all of his prep work using the copy of Foundry VTT on his personal computer, and then uploads to the NAS using Filebrowser, which I have also set up in a docker container, giving him only access to the Foundry VTT data directory and subdirectories.

I am using this docker image: https://github.com/felddy/foundryvtt-docker I'm getting this error in the console `WebSocket connection to 'wss://foundry.****/socket.io/?session=***&EIO=4&transport=websocket' failed: WebSocket is closed before the connection is established.`

I also run a minecraft server or two from time to time, and three separate instances of Foundry Virtual Tabletop for friends.

I used Mark Feldhousen's foundryvtt-docker docker image for the foundry server, using docker compose: https://github.com/felddy/foundryvtt-docker

I have a 3b and used a combination of this https://github.com/orangetruth/foundryvtt-raspberry-pi/blob/main/README.md and this https://www.reddit.com/r/FoundryVTT/comments/vvibsu/selfhosted_foundry_vtt_on_raspberry_pi_no_port/

Self-hosting on a raspberry pi is relatively affordable and easy, and avoids having to pay a recurring subscription to anyone (though raspberry pis are in short supply right now). Here's a guide I wrote up.

I've had a great experience overall self-hosting. Lots of guides out there - here are the steps I followed (including a port forwarding guide). Make sure you get an SSD for the raspberry pi, rather than an SD card.

Definitely this. You can either pay to host it somewhere (like The Forge) or host it yourself on a Raspberry Pi (guide here). Then you can access it as a player or GM from anywhere.

Hard to know exactly what's gone wrong, but these are steps I followed to get Foundry running on my raspberry pi with Docker, Nginx, Duckdns and Certbot. Hope this helps!

I'm trying to setup Bitwarden on a raspberry pi i'm already using as a server, and I'm running into predictable port conflict problems I just don't know how to sort out with nginx. I followed this guide to host a FoundryVTT instance behind nginx successfully https://github.com/orangetruth/foundryvtt-raspberry-pi/blob/main/README.md , and I can access that instance by going to my.hostname.com. I'd like to set up bitwarden on something like my.hostname.com:9001 or something but I just don't know nginx well enough to know what to do. Any ideas what I should do after following that guide? Thank you SO much.

Nice writeup and welcome to the community! Here's my guide on how to get FoundryVTT running on a raspberry pi once you decide to go that route. Docker makes it really easy to run multiple instances if you have multiple licenses.
