Installing the Server

[michaeldivia]

Hello,

I've got some small problem understading some steps in the install process.

From where should I be taking those directory from ?

 - /appdata/space-engineers/instances
  - /appdata/space-engineers/SpaceEngineersDedicated
  - /appdata/space-engineers/steamcmd

Thx

Hi Padi,

• /appdata/space-engineers/SpaceEngineersDedicated
• /appdata/space-engineers/steamcmd

those only direct to your harddrive and will be filled during first spin up.

• /appdata/space-engineers/instances

should inherit the instance you want to run. As you cant create a new world in this dedicated server solution, you have to use the desktop dedicated server application to create and setup a new instance, then copy the instance to this directory. Be sure to rename either the World Name in the config or the save folder for that world, as the ds-config tool adds a date after the worldname but the WorldName in the config must be equal to the save folder name currently.

But I dont have a appdata directory, I'm on linux.

Yes sure, mkdir -p /appdata/space-engineers/

If you like you can change your local path to anything else existing but then i might not be able to give any more support :D

Ok I got it to work.

The part that I didn't understand was for SpaceEngineersDedicated & steamcmd. I thought that I had to import those directory from the windows desktop dedicated server application. But no, you simply create /appdata/space-engineers/ and those 2 directorys will be created and populated by the docker (If someone else has the same IQ then me and can't figure it out).
