Vein Dedicated Server

This is a docker build for the survival game Vein to run a dedicated server. There are some very helpful install instructions here if you are not using docker / this repo.

Running with docker-compose

Running a dedicated server with backups being rsync'ed to ./backups

services:
  vein:
    image: ghcr.io/radical-egg/vein-dedicated-server:latest
    container_name: vein-dedicated-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "27015:27015/udp"
      - "7777:7777/udp"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/home/vein/server
    environment:
      PUID: 1000 # replace with your users UID
      PGID: 1000 # replace with your users GID
      VEIN_SERVER_AUTO_UPDATE: true
      VEIN_SERVER_NAME: "Vein2Docker"
      VEIN_SERVER_PASSWORD: "secret"
#      VEIN_SERVER_ADMIN_STEAM_IDS: "12345,12345,12345562312"
#      VEIN_SERVER_SUPER_ADMIN_STEAM_IDS: "12345"
  vein-backup-sidecar:
    image: ghcr.io/radical-egg/vein-dedicated-backup:latest
    container_name: vein-dedicated-backup
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data:ro
      - ./backup:/backup:rw
    environment:
      PUID: 1000 # replace with your users UID
      PGID: 1000 # replace with your users GID
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_INTERVAL_SECONDS: 7200
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_RETENTION: 10 # set to 0 to keep all backups

Sending game backups to S3

The backup container has Rclone installed and can be used to send a backup of your Server.vns and Game.ini to and S3 bucket. The example configurations below are what I use for my self hosted Garage S3 instance.

services:
  vein:
    image: ghcr.io/radical-egg/vein-dedicated-server:latest
    container_name: vein-dedicated-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "27015:27015/udp"
      - "7777:7777/udp"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/home/vein/server
    environment:
      PUID: 1000 # replace with your users UID
      PGID: 1000 # replace with your users GID
      VEIN_SERVER_AUTO_UPDATE: true
      VEIN_SERVER_NAME: "Vein2Docker"
      VEIN_SERVER_PASSWORD: "secret"
#      VEIN_SERVER_ADMIN_STEAM_IDS: "12345,12345,12345562312"
#      VEIN_SERVER_SUPER_ADMIN_STEAM_IDS: "12345"
  vein-backup-sidecar:
    image: ghcr.io/radical-egg/vein-dedicated-backup:latest
    container_name: vein-dedicated-backup
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data:ro
      - ./backup:/backup:rw
    environment:
      PUID: 1000 # replace with your users UID
      PGID: 1000 # replace with your users GID
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_INTERVAL_SECONDS: 7200
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_MODE: s3
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_S3_BUCKET: backups
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_S3_ENDPOINT: http://garage.localdomain:3900 # Your S3 endpoint url
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_S3_PROVIDER: Other # Optional if your provider is not Other
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_S3_REGION: garage # Optional, some providers care about this
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_S3_KEY_ID: <key id> # required, key id
      VEIN_SERVER_BACKUP_S3_ACCESS_KEY: <secret key> # required secret key

Running with K8s

helm repo add radical-egg https://radical-egg.github.io/pineapple-bun/
helm repo update
helm install vein radical-egg/vein-k8s \
	--set VEIN_SERVER_NAME="Eggs Strange World" \
    --set VEIN_SERVER_DESCRIPTION="nollie 360 flips" \
    --set VEIN_SERVER_PASSWORD="secretpass"

The developers have some documentation on what configurations are available here.
