Game Server Hosting

Option 1: Docker Servers

Installs docker and loads the taserver docker image from this project on an Ubuntu VM. From Courtesy of Chicken).

This will be a basic run down on how to setup TA Server on an Ubunutu Server.

TCP/UDP Ports that need opening: 7777-7877

UDP ports that need opening: 9002-9102

Using UFW:

sudo ufw allow 7777:7877/tcp

sudo ufw allow 7777:7877/udp

sudo ufw allow 9002:9102/udp

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh

sudo sh get-docker.sh

sudo usermod -aG docker *username*

Where ‘username’ is the name of the user.

docker pull taserver:latest-maps

docker tag taserver:latest-maps taserver

wget -O taserver.sh "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JigglyJoogins/taserver-deploy/master/docker/taserver.sh"

chmod +x taserver.sh

To run the game server run the command:

./taserver.sh -d gamesettings -p 0

‘-d gamesettings’ will be a mounted folder for this particular docker container that lets you alter the game settings of the server.

‘-p 0’ sets the port offset to 0. The default ports are 7777 and 7778. A port offset of 2 would use ports 7779 and 7781.

An easy to grasp server hosting solution for community servers.
