What's Inside

This image bundles everything you need to run and manage an Enshrouded dedicated server in a single container:

• Enshrouded Dedicated Server — downloaded and kept up to date automatically via SteamCMD on every container start
• BearAndPie Web Panel — a full browser-based control panel to start/stop the server, configure every game setting, manage users, browse Nexus mods, and view live logs
• Wine + Xvfb — runs the Windows server ***ary headlessly on Linux with no extra setup
• Supervisord — manages all processes inside the container so everything starts and stays running automatically

Quick Start

yaml
services:
  enshrouded:
    image: bejarrodar/enshrouded-server:latest
    container_name: enshrouded-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "15636:15636/udp"   # Game port — forward this on your router
      - "15637:15637/udp"   # Query port — for Steam server browser
      - "8888:8888/tcp"     # BearAndPie web panel
    volumes:
      - ./game-data:/game
    environment:
      - SERVER_NAME=My Enshrouded Server
      - SERVER_PASSWORD=
      - SLOT_COUNT=16
      - AUTOSTART_SERVER=true
      - GUI_PASSWORD=changeme
      - GUI_SECRET_KEY=replace_with_a_random_string
    stop_grace_period: 90s

Then open http://localhost:8888 and sign in with username admin and the password you set for GUI_PASSWORD.

First boot takes 15–30 minutes — SteamCMD downloads ~8 GB of game files. Subsequent starts are fast.

Web Panel Features

Server Control

Start, stop, and restart the game server with one click directly from the browser. No SSH or command line needed.

Live Log Viewer

Real-time server log output streamed to the browser via WebSocket. Color-coded for errors, warnings, and key events. Includes auto-scroll and a clear button.

Full Game Configuration

Every setting in enshrouded_server.json is exposed through a visual UI — no JSON editing required:

• Basic — server name, password, ports, player slots
• Difficulty — one-click presets (Relaxed, Default, Hard, Survival, Custom)
• Player Stats — health, mana, stamina, cold resistance, diving time, durability, perks
• World & Time — day/night duration (shown in minutes), weather, Shroud, tombstone mode
• Enemies — spawn rates, aggro pool, enemy/boss health and damage, pacify mode, taming
• Resources — mining yield, drop stacks, plant growth, factory speed, fishing difficulty
• Experience — combat, mining, and exp***tion/quest XP multipliers
• Survival — hunger timer, starvation debuff, food buff duration

Settings are saved with automatic backups and a restart pro***.

Multi-User Access with Roles

The panel supports multiple user accounts, each with their own username and password. Four built-in roles control what each user can do:

The first superadmin account is created automatically on first boot using GUI_PASSWORD.

Nexus Mod Browser

Browse the full Nexus Mods catalogue for Enshrouded directly inside the panel — no API key required. Users log into their own Nexus account inside the embedded browser, browse normally, and track mods using the built-in tracker. Installed mods are listed with enable/disable toggles and removal controls.

Activity Log

Every action taken through the panel is recorded — logins, config saves, server starts/stops, mod installs, and user changes — with timestamps and usernames. Full audit trail for shared servers.

Volumes

Mount a single directory to /game to persist everything:

/game/
├── server/                        # Game server files (managed by SteamCMD)
│   ├── enshrouded_server.json     # Live config file
│   └── savegame/                  # World save files ← back this up!
├── logs/                          # Server and panel logs
└── bearandpie.db                  # User accounts and activity log (SQLite)

Back up /game/server/savegame/ regularly. Everything else can be regenerated.

---

Updating the Server

Enshrouded server files are updated automatically every time the container restarts — SteamCMD checks for updates on boot. To force an update, simply restart the container from the web panel or with:

bash
docker compose restart
