Docker builds for Stellaris Dashboard

Setup

config.yml

Most of the configuration settings can be edited in the dashboard itself, but the settings might be lost if you don't mount config.yml outside the container. Prepare for that with:

touch config.yml
chown 1000:1000 config.yml

Output directories

Localisation files required

As documented here, you will need to know the location of and/or copy some of the game's localisation files to a place docker can access them.

Save file location required

You'll need to know where your saves are located, or set something up to copy them. I use Syncthing to copy from Windows to Linux.

Directory setup

Edit ./env to point at your localisation and save folders. They must be readable by user ID 1000.

Output directory

Create a dir for output (database files and galaxy timelapse images):

mkdir output
chown 1000:1000 output

Parsing existing saves

If you have existing saves that you want the dashboard to parse, then in .env change SKIP_INITIAL_PARSE to "true" (case sensitive). This can be slow!

Run the image with docker-compose

Run:

docker-compose up -d

Then head to http://localhost:28053
