This is an unofficial Docker container to let you host a dedicated Palworld server. You have the possibility to change every config option simply via environment variable.

1. Create a folder on your machine where later the server should be saved in (e.g. /home/example/palworld-server)

2. The folder has to have the following permissons: User ID 1000 und Group ID 1000 (use chown -R 1000:1000 /home/example/palworld-server)

3. Create a docker compose file

   version: '3'
   
   services:
     server:
       image: spirit1998hd/palworld-server:latest
       ports:
         - 8211:8211/udp
       environment:
         ServerName: '"YourServerName"'
         ServerDescription: '"YourServerDescription"'
         ServerPassword: '"YourPassword"'
         AdminPassword: '"YourAdminPassword"'
       restart: unless-stopped
       volumes:
         - type: bind
           source: /home/example/palworld-server
           target: /home/steam/palworld

4. Replace all placeholder values (don't forget to change the source volume to the folder you created in step 1)

5. Start the compose script. All game file will now be saved in the folder you created in step 1

You can simply add these in the docker compose file.

How to start a second server on the same machine?

Just change the ports of your container for the server in the compose file. By default it would be 8211 but you can change it to something like 8212. Don't forget to also port forward the new port.
