Roots is a game server daemon that manages Docker containers for game servers
github.comI wouldn't limit yourself to describing it as a game server daemon. It's effectively a IAAS / PAAS platform if you switch to a plugin model for those games. Well done.
Can you add a License to the repo please?
Looking over the code it does not appear to actually do anything.
If you want something like this check out https://pterodactyl.io/
It has pre-built support for like 100 games: https://github.com/pterodactyl/game-eggs
Or: https://linuxgsm.com/ - 130+ game servers.
CLI only though, but really nice.
Be warned, no license listed.
Created 3 weeks ago. 27 commits, half of which seem to be version bumps.
Why should anyone want to use this, OP?
Strong suggestion, do not run game servers in docker containers
Strong suggestion, do not give advice without explaining any reasons or context
But why not tho?
It’s unclear if this comment missed the fact that the previous user was using mimicry as a rhetorical device to critique the original poster, or if it was an attempt at 'yes and'-ing by doubling down on the brevity. In either case, the question would have been more effective if directed at the grandparent comment, since that is the actual source of the unsupported assertion.
Why not? Docker is effectively free on Linux. You only get the performance hit on macOS and Windows (since it runs the containers in a hidden Linux VM).
itzg's docker image for Minecraft makes life quite a bit easier - switching mod loader, versions etc. with environment variables is simpler than continuously downloading versions and juggling directories.
IndifferentBroccoli do fine with thousands?
