# Create the startup script cat > /opt/gameserver/start.sh << 'EOF' #!/bin/bash # 1. Clean up environment export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp export WINEDEBUG=-all export DISPLAY=:0 # 2. Move to the game root cd /home/container # 3. Launch with xvfb-run for headless Wine xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args='-screen 0 640x480x24:32' \ wine64 ./ConanSandbox/Binaries/Win64/ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Shipping.exe \ -Port=7777 \ -QueryPort=27015 \ -RconPort=25575 \ -ServerName="" \ -ServerPassword="" \ -console \ -log EOF chmod +x /opt/gameserver/start.sh
