Copy the .env.example file to a new file called .env. Then use either docker compose or docker run.

Starting the server with Docker Compose:

services:
  terraria:
    image: indifferentbroccoli/terraria-server-docker
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: terraria
    stop_grace_period: 30s
    ports:
      - '7777:7777/tcp'
    environment:
      PUID: 1000
      PGID: 1000
    env_file:
      - .env
    volumes:
      - ./terraria:/terraria

Then run:

docker-compose up -d

docker run -d \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    --name terraria \
    --stop-timeout 30 \
    -p 7777:7777/tcp \
    -e PUID=1000 \
    -e PGID=1000 \
    -e TERRARIA_VERSION=1450 \
    --env-file .env \
    -v ./terraria:/terraria \
    indifferentbroccoli/terraria-server-docker

tModLoader support is fully automated. Set TMODLOADER_ENABLED=true to download and run tModLoader instead of the vanilla server. When enabled, the vanilla Terraria install is skipped entirely — tModLoader is a standalone dedicated server.

Set WORKSHOP_MODS to a comma-separated list of Steam Workshop mod IDs. Mods are downloaded automatically on every startup using SteamCMD and installed to /terraria/mods.

TMODLOADER_ENABLED=true
WORKSHOP_MODS=2824688072,2835214226,1213059773

The mod IDs can be found in the Steam Workshop URL: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2824688072

Mods are persisted in ./terraria/mods and updated on each container start. An enabled.json is automatically generated from your WORKSHOP_MODS list so tModLoader loads them without any manual configuration.

Use the bundled command.sh script to send commands to the running server:

docker exec terraria /home/terraria/server/command.sh "say Hello everyone!"
docker exec terraria /home/terraria/server/command.sh "kick PlayerName"
docker exec terraria /home/terraria/server/command.sh "save"
