RavenShield Dedicated Server

This Docker container sets up an environment to host the RavenShield Dedicated Server using Ubuntu, Wine, and Xvfb.

Overview

• The container expects /rvs to contain the root of your game files (ie. /system /mods etc)
• Map the correct UDP ports that are specified in your game init files to be able to connect to the game server (usually 7777, 8777,9777)
