Overview
Based on the amazing work from https://hub.docker.com/r/cm2network/steamcmd
And discovery work from the Discord community
Check out the guide here, and note the minimum specifications for running this server.
In particular - the server currently requires 16GM RAM
Status
I'm regularly running this myself with good success (using the non-prebaked docker-compose variant). Note however, that the dedicated server itself is still very much a work in progress, it's worth popping on the Discord to see if there's any issues with the current state.
Successfully running and receiving clients, currently testing on version:

How to use this image
Hosting a simple game server Running on the host interface (recommended):
# RECOMMENDED: Using docker-compose
docker-compose up -d
# NOTE: Neither net-host option will work in Windows, due to networking incompatibilities. Use the docker-compose version.
# RECOMMENDED: Using a standard named mount for data persistence on container recreation:
docker run -d --net=host -v stationeers-data:/home/steam/stationeers-server-dedicated/ --name=stationeers-dedicated powareverb/stationeers-dedserver
# Running using a bind mount for data persistence on container recreation:
mkdir -p $(pwd)/stationeers-data
chmod 777 $(pwd)/stationeers-data # Makes sure the directory is writeable by the unprivileged container user
docker run -d --net=host -v $(pwd)/stationeers-data:/home/steam/stationeers-server-dedicated/ --name=stationeers-dedicated powareverb/stationeers-dedserver
It's also recommended to use "--cpuset-cpus=" to limit the game server to a specific core & thread. The container will automatically update the game on startup, so if there is a game update just restart the container.
Configuration
Environment Variables
Feel free to overwrite these environment variables, using -e (--env):
# These are the current defaults in the compose, but you can (and should!) override them
# Timezone - not sure this is needed
TZ: 'Pacific/Auckland'
# Server name which will be announced to the master server
SERVERNAME: "powareverb-stationeers-dedserver-test"
# Password to stop all those undesirable stationeers from joining
SERVERPASSWORD: "supersafepassword"
# Start planetoid to use
PLANETOID: "mars"
# Name of the save game to load - will be created if it doesn't exist
SAVENAME: "mars101"
# Enable tmux for the console, highly recommended
TMUXDIRECT: "true"Image Variants
Auto updating variant
This is an image which will auto update on startup, and may take a while to download the necessary images.
Once files are downloaded, the startup time is quite quick.
- stationeers-dedserver:latest
Pre-baked auto updating variant
This is an image which includes the latest version of the server as at time of build. It will be a much larger image. The image will still auto update on startup, and may take a while to download the necessary images if there's a new server version. Once files are downloaded, the startup time is quite quick.
