Thought I'd post here, in case anyone interested in Rust servers is reading this forum. I'm hoping this is the correct place to post about this, and I'd appreciate any feedback/issues you might have with it.
I've been maintaining a Docker image for the Linux version of the Rust server for a while now, and it's currently in a state that I feel comfortable sharing with everyone.
The image can be found publicly on [URL="https://hub.docker.com/r/didstopia/rust-server/"]Docker Hub[/URL].
I've written an initial guide on setting up Docker and the Rust server container on a fresh Linux installation. The guide can be found [URL="http://rust.didscraft.com/rust-server-on-linux-using-docker/"]here[/URL].
If you don't know what Docker is, that's also explained in the guide. It's essentially a very convenient way of running a single app/service in a disposable container, which is identical on any hardware.
Docker container data isalso very easy to backup and restore, which makes them ideal for game server hosting.
Note that since this is a free, open source project, this is not an advertisement, but a note to all of you out there interested in hosting Rust as easily and efficiently as possible, using free tools already available.
Brilliant. Good work man. This is going to be the easiest and most consistent way of getting a Rust server up.
Thanks! I just wish there was a way to make this more apparent to the developers and to Rust server providers. :)
I just fixed several formatting issues with the guide, which caused some of the commands not work properly, due to having extra spaces (whitespaces characters) at the end of each line.
So if you were having issues, those should be fixed now!
