linus server question

[/proc/self/nolimits]

is there a docker image for the server?
i wouls like to host a server in aws for my friends.
can someone explain me how to do it?

I’ve seen one, but it was looking outdated.
You can dockerize tool called LinuxGSM with parameters to download Project Zomboid, they also list all packages this tool needs so it should be easy. You can also use anonymous SteamCMD access directly to download Project Zomboid Dedicated Server, you can find it’s ID on steamdb. It has bash script to start server on Linux with default params. The only thing is that configuring server can be painful if you can’t mount volume, but shouldn’t be a big deal.

Apparently, LinuxGSM has experimental image here: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM-Docker
Or if you want DIY: https://linuxgsm.com/servers/pzserver/

Ah and last thing is that server warns you about libsdl2-2.0-0, LinuxGSM downloads it for i386 but warning disappears of you install amd64. Not sure if it’s a big deal but if you make image yourself I’d recommend installing that too.

so, almost there...
Following https://linuxgsm.com/servers/pzserver/ I was able to create an instance, configure my firewall and all seems fine.
But when I try to start the server I get an error:

Am I missing something on the config side?
