Freeciv is a Free and Open Source empire-building strategy game inspired by the history of human civilization.

This project embeds the Freeciv server in an blazingly fast and small Alpine Docker container with a total size of ~32MB OS & dependencies excluding game files, total size less than 200MB.

How to run

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/FlickF/freeciv-server-docker.git

Connect to your own server! :)

Roadmap

• Provide the Docker image on Dockerhub
• Add arguments to start the server loading a savegame
• Add entrypoint.sh to set user permissions dynamically
• Add authorization to host password protected games (https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv/blob/master/doc/README.fcdb)
