project zomboid docker on synology

# Start project zomboid on synology thanks to docker container

# ssh to your synology folder where you want to upload pzserver
mkdir server-data
mkdir server-files

sudo chown 1000:1000 server-data
sudo chown 1000:1000 server-files

# Start here hazzie/lgsmbase:latest manually in Synology Docker (operation not working from terminal, don't know why..)
# Needs to have /home/pzserver/serverfiles mapped to $(pwd)/server-files
# Open hazzie/lgsmbase instance terminal
# From here, let's follow installation guide https://linuxgsm.com/servers/pzserver/
adduser pzserver
chown -R 1000:1000 /home
su - pzserver
wget -O linuxgsm.sh https://linuxgsm.sh && chmod +x linuxgsm.sh && bash linuxgsm.sh pzserver
./pzserver install

# Then back to Synology ssh

Wow - thanks for doing this! And I feel honoured to be mentioned! :-)

The only command I remember adding, which I don't see listed here, is --shm-size=2g

This because my Synology (could be because it's an old 216+ii model) automatically created a very small java cache (256 mb). This meant the PZ server kept throwing Java errors within a few minutes.

I think (it's been so long now!) I ran the --shm-size=2g command in the final docker run command?
