Set your server settings, then install Docker, and pull the RAGE:MP container image.
# Update system and install Docker sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y docker.io sudo systemctl enable --now docker # Create game server directory sudo mkdir -p /opt/gameserver # Server configuration export ANNOUNCE="true" export GAMEMODE="freeroam" export LANGUAGE="en" export STREAM_DISTANCE="500" export DISALLOW_MULTIPLE_CONNECTIONS="false" export MAX_PING="0" export MIN_FPS="0" export MAX_PACKET_LOSS="0.0" export SYNC_RATE="40" export CSHARP="disabled" export ENABLE_HTTP_SECURITY="false" export ALLOW_CEF_DEBUGGING="false" # Pull the container image docker pull ghcr.io/ptero-eggs/yolks:debian
RAGE:MP uses a custom install script to download and configure the server files.
#!/bin/bash apt update apt install -y curl wget tar mkdir -p /opt/gameserver/tmp cd /opt/gameserver # Clean previous binaries rm -rf bin/ rm -rf dotnet/ rm -f ragemp-server # Download latest RAGE:MP server cd /opt/gameserver/tmp echo "Downloading RAGE:MP server..." curl -sSL -o linux_x64.tar.gz https://cdn.rage.mp/updater/prerelease/server-files/linux_x64.tar.gz tar -xzvf linux_x64.tar.gz rm linux_x64.tar.gz # Move files to server root cd /opt/gameserver/tmp/ragemp-srv/ mv * /opt/gameserver cd /opt/gameserver chmod +x ./ragemp-server rm -rf /opt/gameserver/tmp echo "Installation complete" exit 0
RAGE:MP requires 2 ports to be open for game traffic and queries.
sudo ufw allow 22005/udp sudo ufw allow 22006/tcp
Start the RAGE:MP server using the configuration from Step 1.
docker run -d \ --name rage-mp-server \ -p 22005:22005/udp \ -p 22006:22006/tcp \ -e ANNOUNCE="true" \ -e GAMEMODE="freeroam" \ -e LANGUAGE="en" \ -e STREAM_DISTANCE="500" \ -e DISALLOW_MULTIPLE_CONNECTIONS="false" \ -e MAX_PING="0" \ -e MIN_FPS="0" \ -e MAX_PACKET_LOSS="0.0" \ -e SYNC_RATE="40" \ -e CSHARP="disabled" \ -e ENABLE_HTTP_SECURITY="false" \ -e ALLOW_CEF_DEBUGGING="false" \ -v /opt/gameserver:/opt/gameserver \ -w /opt/gameserver \ ghcr.io/ptero-eggs/yolks:debian \ ./ragemp-server
