SPT MPT/Fika Server With Docker Ubuntu/Debian/Raspberry Pi

Setting up Fika SPT server with docker for Ubuntu/Debian/Raspberry Pi

This guide has now moved to here https://github.com/OnniSaarni/SPT-Fika-Docker-Guide

This gist can still be used for discussion if you'd like.

@OnniSaarni I had the opportunity to test everything works very well, VPS and stores in the cloud save and the rally runs the host. Beautiful job! Now we are waiting for the entire Linux server to be able to put 🤞🏻

Sorry for those who helped answer my Raspberry PI questions but I couldn't use a raspberry pi in the end as I couldn't find a coupon to get a discount on a raspberry pi from a shop in my country (Singapore) 😅

With that said, for anyone who is googling this, I can confirm that this works on a Linux VPS. That said, as I've stated (and checked by others), this server is a HTTP server. It's not that lightweight (meaning that the cheapest VPS will not allow you to get away), but the second VPS should be fine.

I've kindly attached an image to show how much RAM you generally need (You do this by running free -h in terminal. Note: If you're using a windows VPS, you might need to RDP inside as I am very sure that this command does not work inside windows cmd
** I am running a few server side mods (AI Spawning, bot brains)

Perhaps @OnniSaarni could add a small section to your github docker repo page detailing that you'll need 1GB Minimum, and that this isn't really recommended because there could be a spike? I'll edit this comment again if there are any issues with spikes since I honestly have not tested system scalability stats according to number of players connecting

@HectorLeeYE I would consider it pretty lightweight if it only uses 1gb of ram. Other game servers use a lot more resources. I'll probably add some minimum system requirements on the page soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

Anyone had an issue whereby Traders aren't selling the same amount of items VS Windows SPT Server?
I've just installed SPT 3.9.5 / FIKA 2.2.7 on Linux and compared it against the SPT Server.exe on my Windows machine and noticed that Ref at lvl 1 trader level has no items for sale on Linux, But on Windows he has about 20 items or so.

Same with Mechanic, He is missing alot of items at level 1. Mainly guns and Items, like the Toolkit.

I've compared Mechanic's trader files, they all match between Windows & Linux "SPT_Data\Server\database\traders\5a7c2eca46aef81a7ca2145d*"

Anyone else noticed this? IO dont have any mods installed. Just followed the Docker install guide found here and compared it to a newly installed SPT on Windows.

@ChrisyG6 the docker setup shouldn't affect stuff like this. It could be because of Fika. The docker setup automatically installs the serverside Fika mod.

Thanks Onni, Oddly enough I have just redeployed again and this time the traders are showing items correctly. I will see if I can re-create the problem and report back if I find out what it is. Thanks for the quick reply :)

It was my fault.. It was SVM Mod, I had "RemoveBarterOffers" set to true. Which is odd, as it wasn't in the mods folder when after I installed.

@ChrisyG6 Alright! Good to know there was no real issue.

Brand new Debian 12 install, seems like the documented Fika build needs updating:

=====

sudo docker build --no-cache --label FIKA -t fika .

Can this part just be updated:

=====

ARG FIKA=HEAD^
ARG FIKA_TAG=[Insert Tag Here]
ARG SPT=HEAD^
ARG SPT_TAG=[Insert Tag Here]
ARG NODE=20.11.1

=====

to:

=====

FROM ubuntu:latest AS builder
ARG FIKA=HEAD
ARG FIKA_TAG=v2.2.8
ARG SPT=HEAD
ARG SPT_TAG=3.9.5
ARG NODE=20.11.1

=====

But even after doing so errors persist:

Shouldn't "ARG SPT_TAG=3.9.5" not be the latest SPT version? 3.9.8?

ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c git checkout tags/$SPT_TAG" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

States that your error is due to a wrong tag, which you identified since $SPT_TAG is just a placeholder; replace it with your desired tag.

ERROR: failed to solve: failed to copy files: copy file range failed: no space left on device

States that you have no disk space left, so prune your docker to reclaim more disk space
