Note

PROCESS_WAIT_TIME: amount of time allocated to shutdown wine.
WATCHDOG_TIME: amount of time between checking server heartbeat.

Game options specified will launch a dedicated server visible on steam clients. The game server will check for updates on boot and reboot.

Run container to create base configuration.

docker-compose up -d conan

Note

Conan will autogenerate default configuration files if they are missing. Make sure the server gets to a running state before shutting down.
