In case anyone comes across this issue.

On initial install, the launcher shortcuts that use xdg-open do not run. Again, may be specific to my setup but can easily be solved by opening the terminal and running

sudo apk add xdg-utils

Not sure why xdg-utils isn't installed by default on my system.

Alternatively, specifying the program to open the link. For example, for the WebGUI shortcut, replacing xdg-open with firefox.

We could probably do with quantifying the difference in performance (if any) between native Windows and containerized performance.

As this is a server we probably need to:

• Generate a few "auto" relatively deterministic mission files.
• Log the server FPS using something like https://github.com/DCS-gRPC/Telemachus
• Run these missions a few times in both situations.
• Compare the data.
• Write a blog post / discussion item.

This is an issue I encountered using Afterfax's previous solution that was posted on Reddit and it has made a comeback. It's probably localised to the way I setup my system but it is recurring though probably results from my ignorance of Docker intricacies.

I use a bind mount on my server:

volumes:
      - /mnt/storage/dcs_server/:/config/

Using standard PUID and GUID of 1000 in the Docker compose, after a while of operating, I start experiencing a strange bug - the web browser refuses to open. The docker logs aren't particularly helpful here but they do hint at the possibility of a permissions issue - I attach the relevant parts below.

I've tried re-deploying the container to no avail and as an experiment, even changed the folder permissions recursively on the host machine to 777 just to see if this would work, but still nothing. I'm currently unable to access the WebGUI of the server and nothing short of rebinding to a new location (along with copying or re-downloading the DCS files) will fix the issue.

I'm posting here as an open issue in case anyone else has had this problem or, as is more likely, I'm doing something stupid on my end, in which case, excuse the ignorance!

Currently trying to setup this container and DCS recently announced that open beta will be removed. (unified release).

Atm it tries to download https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/upload/iblock/ebb/2krwumwaj6vakg2gny13g1t56jral5nq/DCS_World_OpenBeta_Server_modular.exe which works, but the MD5 check will fail because the site has been taken down already :(

(https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/server_beta/ -> error)

Tried the latest version and it seems like that the download url is not valid anymore:

gives me a 404 and server install will fail.
I remember in the past that there was some code to go the download page and extract the download link from the page.

Download link is now https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/upload/iblock/17c/slq6u1srmqqi1fb2oaofz1qx6vc5p2fh/DCS_World_Server_modular.exe (according to https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/server/)

Ironic that I run into a similar issue once again :D
Maybe some sort of environment variable as fallback would make sense? (and of course the html extract to get the DL url - I assume ED will update the link from time for time...)

To fix it with current version (1.0) simply download the file and put it into the config root folder (the file should be present with 0kb and must be replaced with the downloaded one)
Then it will work 👍

On launching the DCS Installer Desktop script (or a terminal for that matter), the following error message appears:

Failed to execute child process "shell": Failed to fdwalk: Operation not permitted

This seems to be a known bug in many X11 docker terminals such as here and here.

The agreed solution is to set the security_opt option to unconfined. I have made a new pull request with the change inside the docker compose that has fixed this.

WRT: #65

As already stated, I tried to get Olympus running.
Sadly, DCS Server crashes after successfully loading the DLLs. Starting wine with WINEDEBUG=+loaddlls it reveals that this call seems to cause the crash

7c:fixme:heap:GetNumaHighestNodeNumber semi-stub: 00007F2031C9F5B0
027c:fixme:http:HttpSetUrlGroupProperty Unhandled property 3.

027c:err:seh:NtRaiseException Unhandled exception code c0000409 flags 1 addr 0x6ffffcb6218d

As a side note:
I managed to start the DCS-Olympus client natively with node / npm. It is only required to rename some files in database/units, because the code actually expects camel-case the files are in lower case.

  • Specifically TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux#25 (comment)

Also wrt existing override implementation:

The Shortcut for DCS Saved Games Directory, wich is created by the autoinstaller, is still mapped to the .openbeta_server, wich does not exist on new installs, instead of the .realese_server

Amending this docker image to work nicely with https://pterodactyl.io/ would be rather useful.

At some stage drawing up the egg to do so, alongside any script / environmental changes should happen.

Needs a refresh since the GUI no longer pops up in the same way and we no longer make use of xdotool sequences.

Autostartup scripting for DCS Server should check if the user has already manually started the server.

The lock file should populate in the saved games dir: /config/.wine/drive_c/users/abc/Saved Games/DCS.release_server/dcs.lock

aka $DCS_saved_games_dir_release/dcs.lock

DCS World Does not login properly after todays update: 2.9.4.53990

I am trying to figx the issue, I updated the gzip package and its still throwing the same error - it seems like ED changed something in there login auth package file....

Bad auth data: Gunzip: header decoding error --- the version of gzip on my windows box is 1.10 and the one on alpine is 1.13... so I dont think its that, I am not sure what to do at this point
