Run Palworld in Docker

The template uses the steamcmd/steamcmd:latest image, default version latest. NautilusControl pulls it automatically; to fetch it yourself:

Pull the image
docker pull steamcmd/steamcmd:latest
Start command
./PalServer.sh -port={port} -queryport=27015 EpicApp=PalServer

The game files are installed with SteamCMD (app ID 2394010). NautilusControl runs it for you on first start.

After installing, NautilusControl runs these commands once:

Post-install commands
mkdir -p /server/.steam/sdk32 && cp /server/linux32/steamclient.so /server/.steam/sdk32/steamclient.so
mkdir -p /server/.steam/sdk64 && cp /server/linux64/steamclient.so /server/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so
mkdir -p /server/Pal/Binaries/Linux && cp /server/linux64/steamclient.so /server/Pal/Binaries/Linux/steamclient.so
