&& cd AzerothCore-with-Playerbots-Docker-Setup && chmod +x *.sh && ./setup.sh

NOTE:

1. Execute 'docker attach ac-worldserver'
2. 'account create username password' creates an account.
3. 'account set gmlevel username 3 -1' sets the account as gm for all servers.
4. Ctrl+p Ctrl+q will take you out of the world console.
5. Now login to wow on $(hostname -I | awk '{print $1}') with 3.3.5a client!
6. All the configs for the server and modules is copied to a folder named wotlk. This is where you edit playerbots and server configuration.

See Azeroth Core - Docker setup for more info.

AC> account create username password
AC> account set gmlevel username 3 -1

Edit your wow_client_3.3.5a\Data\enUS\realmlist.wtf and type in the ip address you get in the end of installing... set realmlist dockerhost_ip

Change dockerhost_ip to the ip that the machine that runs the docker containers has.

To uninstall and start fresh, run ./uninstall.sh

To clear the data/sql/custom folders run ./clear_custom_sql.sh

Usage

Update

• To update and get the latest versions, you can run ./uninstall.sh without deleting the volumes and run ./setup.sh again. It will prompt you if you want to delete the volumes. (Dont let the warnings scare you :)

• You can add modules to the setup.sh file by scrolling to the "install_mod" section and add the entries you'd like. Or you could do it manually by putting the modules folders into the azerothcore-wotlk/modulesfolder. setup.sh will automatically add the sql. See How do I install modules? for more info.

• Running setup.sh will not install anything over again unless you delete a modules folder or the azerothcore-wotlk folder before. You can run it if you only want to install new modules youve added, it will skip if you already downloaded the repos.

• If you delete modules, remember to run clear_custom_sql.sh first and remove the respective tables in the db.

Backup & Recovery

• You can backup and recover the databases by running ./sqldump.sh. It will place the backups in sql_dumps folder... On recovery, you will be prompted to enter a date (given you back up once a day at maximum.)
