As to DoNotStarveTogether Dedicated Server, I finally realized that steamcmd is only a game server files downloader. That is to say, what I need is just a game server runtime.
Modifying server settings by hand reduces the difficulty of runtime building and improves its compatibility.
Optimized for mutliple shards(>=3). Every shard run in a single container.
- Serve mutiple shards. (1 or more)
- Simple but powerful. (dedicated downloader and runtime)
- Clone the project and change your working directory
git clone https://gitee.com/maoxuner/yadst.git cd yadst - Generate a cluster token and download base cluster config from next link
https://accounts.klei.com/account/game/servers?game=DontStarveTogether - Extract downloaded files to
root-path-of-yadst/server/data/DoNotStarveTogether/MyDediServerroot-path-of-yadst/server ├── data │ └── DoNotStarveTogether │ └── MyDediServer │ ├── Caves │ │ ├── server.ini │ │ └── worldgenoverride.lua │ ├── Master │ │ ├── server.ini │ │ └── worldgenoverride.lua │ ├── cluster.ini │ └── cluster_token.txt └── game - Edit world and mods settings [manually]
- Build runtime image (or use yadst)
docker build -t yadst-runtime . - Download game and mods files

- After game files downloaded, start game servers
docker compose up -d
These projects have done a great job. Some ideas or scripts come from them.
