Docker Setup

In order to run TShock in a docker container, you would need to have mountpoints for

• /tshock (TShock config files, logs and crash reports)
• /worlds
• /plugins
• /server (optional, if you want to mount TShock's cwd)

These folders can be mounted using -v <host_folder>:<container>

Open ports can also be passed through using -p <host_port>:<container_port>.

• 7777 for Terraria
• 7878 for TShock's REST API

For Example:

# Building the image
docker build -t tshock:linux/amd64 --build-arg TARGETPLATFORM=linux/amd64 .

# Running the image
docker run -p 7777:7777 -p 7878:7878 \
           -v /home/cider/tshock/:/tshock \
           -v /home/cider/.local/share/Terraria/Worlds:/worlds \
           -v /home/cider/tshock/plugins:/plugins \
           --rm -it tshock:linux/amd64 \
           -world /worlds/backflip.wld -motd "OMFG DOCKER"

Building for Other Platforms

Using docker buildx, you could build multi-platform images for TShock.

For Example:

# Building the image using buildx and loading it into docker
sudo docker buildx build -t tshock:linux-arm64 --platform linux/arm64 --load .

# Running the image
docker run -p 7777:7777 -p 7878:7878 \
           -v /home/cider/tshock/:/tshock \
           -v /home/cider/.local/share/Terraria/Worlds:/worlds \
           -v /home/cider/tshock/plugins:/plugins \
           --rm -it tshock:linux-arm64 \
           -world /worlds/backflip.wld -motd "ARM64 ftw"
