Instructions
AzerothCore setup
Before deploying
AzerothCore's published server images currently support amd64 hosts only.
AzerothCore uses raw TCP connections rather than HTTP. Make sure TCP ports 3724 (authentication) and 8085 (world server) are free on the Dokploy host and allowed through its firewall.
The template generates REALM_ADDRESS with Dokploy's domain helper. Verify that this hostname resolves publicly to the Dokploy server. If it does not, replace REALM_ADDRESS in the service environment with the server's public IP address or another public DNS name, then redeploy.
First startup
The first deployment downloads the client data and imports the authentication, character, and world databases. This can take several minutes. The azerothcore-client-data, azerothcore-db-import, and azerothcore-realm-config containers are initialization jobs and should exit successfully after completing their work.
Create the first game account
After the azerothcore world server is running, attach to its console from the Dokploy host:
bash
Create an account and grant it administrator permissions:
text
Detach without stopping the server by pressing Ctrl-p, then Ctrl-q.
Connect a 3.3.5a client
Set the client's Data/<locale>/realmlist.wtf file to the same hostname or IP stored in REALM_ADDRESS:
text
Restart the client, sign in with the account created above, and select the AzerothCore realm. If authentication works but the realm connection fails, confirm that TCP port 8085 is reachable and that REALM_ADDRESS points to the Dokploy host.
For updates, backups, configuration, and troubleshooting, see the AzerothCore Docker documentation.
