Docker container for headless server

[EspenRoth]

Is anyone currently working on a docker container that could be used to jumpstart a headless DSP multiplayer server? Would you accept a PR that does it?

There may potential legal issues given that even the headless server is just a mod for the base game so they would essentially be vending a pirated copy of the game by providing a docker image for the headless server.

I could imagine this being a thing, but I think it would require the server to be it's own executable that is completely decoupled from the base game. And that's probably not an insignificant amount of effort.

Theoretically someone could make a docker container where you just have to pass it the directory of the game I think. I'm not aware of anyone working on such a project though.

I would not expect a docker image until we get a dedicated Linux build, no matter what kind of extra layers need to be done for legality. Most Windows-based hosting solutions just run the server directly and don't make an effort to containerize, however, once Linux hosting is available without using wine then it is usually done.
