Practical information

Directories / foldersโ€‹

Machineโ€‹

Below is a list of paths that are available on DediConnect machines. These are different from the paths made available inside the docker container.

Linuxโ€‹

Containers: /home/GameServerApp
Games: /home/GameServerApp/games
Docker: /home/GameServerApp/docker
Backups: /home/GameServerApp/nas/backup
Cluster files: /home/GameServerApp/nas/cluster

Windowsโ€‹

Containers: C:\GameServerApp
Games: C:\GameServerApp\games
Docker: C:\GameServerApp\docker
Backups: C:\GameServerApp\nas\backup
Cluster files: C:\GameServerApp\nas\cluster

Containerโ€‹

These are the relative paths inside a docker container.

Linuxโ€‹

Game files: /serverfiles Alternative game files path: /home/containeruser/serverfiles

Windowsโ€‹

Game files: C:\serverfiles Alternative game files path: C:\Users\ContainerUser\serverfiles

Useful Docker parametersโ€‹

Configure custom Docker parameters using Docker launch params.

GSA automatically mounts the game server files directory inside the container (see paths above). In cases where you need one or more custom folders mounted, you can do so by adding the following line to the Docker launch params, per folder you want to mount:

-v C:\path\on\machine:C:\path\inside\container

The example above will mount the folder C:\path\on\machine (on the machine) inside the container at the path C:\path\inside\container.

For Linux the same principle applies, but with different paths.

Access container consoleโ€‹

In some occasions you may want to login on the container and fire command manually.

Each DediConnect container comes with a container name. The container name can be found on the game server settings page, in the top-right corner.

Linuxโ€‹

Login with SSH and run docker exec -it {container name} bash

Windowsโ€‹

Login with RDP and open Powershell. Then run docker exec -it {container name} cmd

Delete Docker containerโ€‹

Learn how to delete a Docker container. Deleting a container does not remove the save files for a server, as long as you follow the instructions below. Shutdown the game server before doing this.

HWID change

Deleting a Docker container will in most cases change the HWID for that game server. If you use plugins with HWID licenses you may need to update the license.

Each DediConnect container comes with a container name. The container name can be found on the game server settings page, in the top-right corner.

Linuxโ€‹

Login with SSH and run docker rm {container name}

Windowsโ€‹

Login with RDP and open Powershell. Then run docker rm {container name}
