Unraid Deployment

This project currently ships as a single container:

the React client is built into client/dist
the Express server serves both static assets and API routes
the container listens on port 3000

Prerequisites

Unraid server with Docker enabled
Git access to the repository
Internet access for npm ci during image build

Option 1: Build On Unraid From Source

Clone the repo somewhere persistent on the Unraid host:

cd /mnt/user/appdata
git clone https://git.alwisp.com/jason/stellar.git
cd stellar

Build the image from the repo root:

docker build -t stellar:local .

Start the container:

docker run -d \
  --name stellar \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 8080:3000 \
  -e PORT=3000 \
  -e LOG_LEVEL=info \
  -e DATABASE_PATH=/data/stellar.sqlite \
  -v /mnt/user/appdata/stellar:/data \
  stellar:local

Open the game at:

http://<your-unraid-ip>:8080

Option 2: Build With Compose On Unraid

From the repo root:

docker compose build
docker compose up -d

This uses the repo's single-service compose file and exposes the app on port 8080.

Option 3: Pull A Prebuilt Image

If you publish an image to your registry, run:

docker pull <your-registry>/stellar:<tag>
docker run -d \
  --name stellar \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 8080:3000 \
  -e PORT=3000 \
  -e LOG_LEVEL=info \
  -e DATABASE_PATH=/data/stellar.sqlite \
  -v /mnt/user/appdata/stellar:/data \
  <your-registry>/stellar:<tag>

Health Check

The server exposes:

/healthz

Example:

curl http://<your-unraid-ip>:8080/healthz

Expected response:

{"status":"ok"}

Updating

If building from source:

cd /mnt/user/appdata/stellar
git pull
docker build -t stellar:local .
docker rm -f stellar
docker run -d \
  --name stellar \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 8080:3000 \
  -e PORT=3000 \
  -e LOG_LEVEL=info \
  -e DATABASE_PATH=/data/stellar.sqlite \
  -v /mnt/user/appdata/stellar:/data \
  stellar:local

If using compose:

cd /mnt/user/appdata/stellar
git pull
docker compose up -d --build

Notes

SQLite persistence now defaults to /data/stellar.sqlite in containers.
The examples above bind /mnt/user/appdata/stellar into /data so profile data survives container recreation.
If Unraid already uses port 8080, change the host-side port mapping and browse to that port instead.
Logs are written to container stdout/stderr and can be viewed from the Unraid Docker UI or with docker logs stellar.
