absolute-satisfactory-server

A containerized dedicated server for Satisfactory, built from absolute-server-template and conforming to the Absolute engineering standard.

New to this? Start here: docs/INSTALL.md — written for someone who has never used Docker, a terminal or a router's settings page.

Quick start

services:
  satisfactory:
    image: abspowergaming/absolute-satisfactory-server:latest
    container_name: satisfactory-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    stop_grace_period: 180s
    ports:
      - "7777:7777/udp"
      - "7777:7777/tcp"
      - "127.0.0.1:8888:8888/tcp"
    volumes:
      - satisfactory-server:/opt/satisfactory/server
      - satisfactory-config:/config

volumes:
  satisfactory-server:
  satisfactory-config:

docker compose up -d

The first start downloads the server and generates a world, which takes a while. docker ps shows (healthy) when players can join.

Ports

Port	Protocol	Purpose	Forward on your router?
7777	UDP	Game traffic	Yes
7777	TCP	Game messaging	Yes
8888	TCP	Management API	No — keep private

Settings

Variable	Default	What it does
SERVER_PORT	7777	Game port
UPDATE_ON_START	true	Take the newest game build when the container starts
UPDATE_IF_IDLE	true	Wait for the server to be empty before updating a running server
ADMIN_PASSWORD	(empty)	The admin password you set when you claimed the server in game. With it, updates wait for an empty server and the world can be saved on demand; without it, the server is still asked to stop gently, but nobody can ask it to save
BACKUPS_ENABLED	true	Hourly world backups
BACKUPS_MAX_COUNT	10	How many backups to keep
SERVER_EXTRA_ARGS	(empty)	Extra arguments passed to the server
TZ	Etc/UTC	Timezone for logs and schedules

Status

Not yet released. The container layer is new — this is the first game built from the template — and two values in manifest.env are marked UNVERIFIED until the first green end-to-end run confirms them: the server's process name and the log line that means "players can join".

Open exceptions are recorded with dates in .absolute/policy.yml: no snapshot/hold/rollback yet, no scheduled build watch, and no image vulnerability scan. The remaining work is in CHECKLIST.md.
