How to run alt:V server in Docker?

alt:V provides ready-to-use Docker images for running servers in the containerized environment. This simplifies the deployment and management of the server. The Docker images are available on Docker Hub, and the source code can be found in the altmp/altv-docker repository.

Running a game serve

To run a minimal game server, execute the command below that will run altv-server image and expose the default server port (7788) to the same port on your computer.

docker run --rm -it -p 7788:7788 -p 7788:7788/udp altmp/altv-server:release

Running a voice server

To run a minimal voice server, execute the following command that will run the altv-voice-server image and expose the default voice server port (7799) to the same port on your computer.

docker run --rm -it -p 7799:7799/udp altmp/altv-voice-server:release

Running both game and voice servers

To run both game and voice servers, you can use Docker Compose. Refer to the following docker-compose.yml file as an example (replace your.public.ip with your actual public IP).

version: '3.9'
services:

  server:
    image: altmp/altv-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    ports:
      - '7788:7788'
      - '7788:7788/udp'
    environment:
      - ALTV_VOICE_EXTERNAL_HOST=voice
      - ALTV_VOICE_EXTERNAL_PORT=7798
      - ALTV_VOICE_EXTERNAL_PUBLIC_HOST=your.public.ip
      - ALTV_VOICE_EXTERNAL_PUBLIC_PORT=7799
      - ALTV_VOICE_EXTERNAL_SECRET=1234567890

  voice:
    image: altmp/altv-voice-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    ports:
      - '7799:7799/udp'
    environment:
      - ALTV_PORT=7798
      - ALTV_PLAYER_PORT=7799
      - ALTV_SECRET=1234567890

This setup ensures that both the game and voice servers are configured correctly and can communicate with each other.

How to download alt:V server using altv-pkg?

altv-pkg - is an executable NPM package that will help you easily download the alt:V server.

We will show you only a basic installation example, but you can find more information in the README repository altv-pkg. If you encounter any problem, you can create an issue on GitHub.

1. Install NodeJS on your computer.
2. Create a new directory for your server and navigate to it:

mkdir altv-server
cd altv-server

3. If necessary, create a configuration file in the root directory of your project and specify the desired parameters. Below is an example of default configuration:

{
	"loadJSModule": true,
	"loadBytecodeModule": false,
	"loadCSharpModule": false,
	"loadJSV2Module": false,
	"loadVoiceServer": false
}

4. Download server files by executing the binary package with the specified branch. In this case, we will download the server from the release branch.
