RuneScape: DragonWilds Dedicated Server Docker

A Docker container for running a RuneScape: DragonWilds dedicated server using DepotDownloader.

Server Requirements

[!NOTE] RAM required is 2GB + 1GB per player. For a full 6-player server you need 8GB.

How to use

Copy the .env.example file to a new file called .env. Then use either docker compose or docker run.

Docker Compose

services:
  runescape-dragonwilds:
    image: indifferentbroccoli/runescape-dragonwilds-server-docker
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: runescape-dragonwilds
    stop_grace_period: 30s
    ports:
      - 7777:7777/udp
      - 8888:8888/udp
    env_file:
      - .env
    volumes:
      - ./server-files:/home/steam/server-files

Then run:

docker-compose up -d

Docker Run

docker run -d \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    --name runescape-dragonwilds \
    --stop-timeout 30 \
    -p 7777:7777/udp \
    -p 8888:8888/udp \
    --env-file .env \
    -v ./server-files:/home/steam/server-files \
    indifferentbroccoli/runescape-dragonwilds-server-docker

Environment Variables

[!NOTE] If your server doesn't appear, check that UDP port 7777 is forwarded through your firewall/router and that OWNER_ID and ADMIN_PASSWORD are set.

Port Forwarding

Forward 7777 UDP (game) and 8888 UDP (world settings beacon, needed to create/edit worlds in-game). Every router between you and your ISP will need port forwarding configured. See portforward.com for router-specific guides.

[!IMPORTANT] The internal and external ports must match. If you change DEFAULT_PORT or BEACON_PORT, update the port mapping in your compose file to match — e.g. 9000:9000/udp with DEFAULT_PORT=9000. Mismatched ports will cause players to be kicked back to the title screen on join.

User Management

Dedicated Servers divide users into three categories:

• Owner — the player whose Player ID matches OWNER_ID in config
• Admin — anyone who entered the ADMIN_PASSWORD in the Server Management screen
• Regular users

Owners can ban and unban anyone (online or offline). Admins can ban regular users who are online.

Mods

Pak mods

Place .pak mods (with their .utoc / .ucas files, if any) in server-files/RSDragonwilds/Content/Paks/~mods/. These do not need UE4SS.

UE4SS mods

UE4SS only works with the Windows server, so it needs the ue4ss image tag, which runs the Windows server through Wine:

services:
  runescape-dragonwilds:
    image: indifferentbroccoli/runescape-dragonwilds-server-docker:ue4ss

On every start, the ue4ss image installs or updates the latest UE4SS experimental build into server-files/RSDragonwilds/Binaries/Win64/. Your settings and mods are kept. Switching between tags downloads the server again and your worlds are kept.

Install mods into server-files/RSDragonwilds/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/ and enable them in mods.txt, then restart the container. UE4SS will log to ue4ss/UE4SS.log.

[!WARNING] Running the Windows server through Wine is not supported by Jagex. Mods may break with any game update.
