This image will always install/update to the latest steamcmd and 7 Days to Die server, all you have to do to update your server is to redeploy the container.

The entire /steamcmd/7dtd is mounted on the host system at ./7dtd_data, which will avoid having to reinstall the game when updating or recreating the container.

Docker-compose installed on host

1. First time only: Rename .env-sample to .env # This is where you'll hold information such as server & telnet password.
2. Optionally set the SEVEN_DAYS_TO_DIE_SERVER_STARTUP_ARGUMENTS environment variable to match your preferred server arguments (defaults are set to "-quit -batchmode -nographics -dedicated")
3. Optionally set the SEVEN_DAYS_TO_DIE_CONFIG_FILE environment variable to a different configuration file (default is /app/.local/share/7DaysToDie/serverconfig.xml)
4. Open powershell or some other shell and run: docker-compose up -d
5. Run the server once to generate the default configuration file, then optionally edit it to your liking at /7dtd_data/data/serverconfig.xml on the host, or/app/.local/share/7DaysToDie/serverconfig.xml in the container

Make sure that the 7D2D serverconfig.xml file has the same server and telnet password as the one you've set in .env file

SEVEN_DAYS_TO_DIE_START_MODE. This determines if the server should update and then start (mode 0), only update (mode 1) or only start (mode 2)) The default value is "0".

You should also enable telnet and modify the SEVEN_DAYS_TO_DIE_TELNET_PORT and SEVEN_DAYS_TO_DIE_TELNET_PASSWORD environment variables accordingly, so the container can properly send the shutdown command to the server when the proper signal has been received (it uses telnet for this).

SEVEN_DAYS_TO_DIE_UPDATE_CHECKING is "0" Fully automatic updates(default = disabled). Once a server update hits Steam, it'll restart the server and trigger the automatic update. You can enable this by setting SEVEN_DAYS_TO_DIE_UPDATE_CHECKING to "1".
You can also use a different branch via environment variables. For example, to install the latest experimental version, you would simply set SEVEN_DAYS_TO_DIE_BRANCH to latest_experimental (this is set to public by default).

If using Docker for Windows and the File System passthrough option, make sure to add the git repo drive letter as a shared drive through the Docker GUI.
