Fuzziqer "newserv" Docker Compose Scripts

Docker Compose scripts for running the Fuzziqer Software "newserv" PSO server software

This repository is intended for my own personal use only. I take no responsibility if you, the reader, happens to come across this and decide to use it and have issues or lose data, or whatever else. Fuzziqer Software won't support this either, obviously.

Usage

It is assumed you have prior Docker / sys-admin experience. If not, you have some learning to do first. Don't rush it.

Before First Run

• Edit .env as appropriate. Set UID and GID to the ID's of the user/group you want to run this server as.
• Create the system directory in the same directory as docker-compose.yml and make sure it is owned by the aforementioned UID and GID.

First Run

• Run docker compose up and let the image build and the container start.
• The container will abort because the system directory was initially empty. But now it should be filled with the out-of-the-box newserv system contents (copied un-altered from the newserv Git repo). Rename config.example.json to config.json and edit it as needed (see NOTES.md for suggestions)

Second Run

• Re-run docker compose up and newserv should start up now.

DNS

I only use newserv with it's built-in DNS server functionality disabled as I prefer to use a separate DNS server like dnsmasq for this task. This means I set DNSServerPort to 0 in config.json and the docker-compose.yml does not have a mapping for UDP port 53 at all.

See the sample dnsmasq configuration dnsmasq.conf.example for something that should work. To connect console PSO clients, you'll need some sort of DNS server set up for your server that the console PSO clients can use.

Connecting Clients

I assume you're familiar with how to get each PSO client to connect to whatever private server you like, and won't be detailing the process here.

See NOTES.md for patching/hexedit details for the PSO: BB client executable which is quite a bit less straightforward otherwise.
