This is a Dockerfile and Makefile build script to generate a Docker image for the dedicated Satisfactory game server.
This Dockerfile is confirmed working with the Satisfactory 1.0 Release (and previously supported Update 8 as well).
- Two-stage build process for an optimized container image
- No automatic server patch updates (yes, this is a feature)
- Exported paths to local filesystem for game configuration and saves
To build the container, simply clone this repo and run:
make
Once the container is built, you can then start execution with:
make run
This will create a satisfactory/ directory within your HOME directory that exports the game configuration and saved games to the local filesystem (so they can be backed up and/or settings modified).
If you wish to use a different directory, override the root path when running like so:
make SSROOT=/my/root/path
If you should ever need to shell into a running server container, use:
make shell
Lastly, to remove the built image, use:
make clean
This Dockerfile utilizes a two-stage build process to generate an optimized container with just the game server binary.
The first stage uses steamcmd to login anonymously to Steam and download the Satisfactory server (Steam App ID #1690800).
The second stage then creates a fresh Debian 12 image and copies the downloaded server package from the first stage into it.
Note that this build script intentionally does not perform patch updates through steamcmd. If you want to get an updated version of the server (if there is any), delete and rebuild the Docker container.
