Space Engineers TorchAPI on Linux Docker

Couldn't download mods and plugins with the dockerized Keen dedicated server and TorchAPI on Linux was not officially supported. I didn't really want to pay for a Windows server either, so I decided to get TorchAPI working for Linux.

Requirements

• Docker
• docker-compose
• unzip
• wget
• Any VNC viewer (vncviewer for Linux / MobaXTerm for Windows)
• *Important but not necessary* - Firewall to block unknown connections to VNC port 5900

Features

• Unsecured VNC access (Recommend to access through SSH port forwarding only)
• Wine 6
• Easy access to World data for manual backups and editing
• Openbox WM

Usage

1. Clone this repo
2. Run ./start
3. Run ./stop to stop & remove container, the torch server data won't be removed.

Notes

• SSH to server with the option -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 to be able to access VNC through your localhost
• May have to restart TorchAPI after creating a new instance for it to show up in the GUI
• Attach to the container's CLI by running this command: docker exec -it se-torchapi /bin/bash
• Use htop or killall Torch.Server.exe to close the windows
• File browser can be displayed by running winefile in the container's CLI
• The already opened file browser's user id is 1000
