So you got in a feature request, or this is in the works? Being able to install the server using an anonymous account will simplify my docker project, as well as your scripts. Nice work!

No offence was taken, I just wanted to avoid any confusion since Blotavious chimed in on license preferences. The MIT license is the most straight forward as can be seen here. The Simplified BSD license is also just about as straight forward as MIT as can be seen here. The Apache license covers things like patents, which does not seam applicable in this situation. The GPLv3 is useful if you want people who improve your script to contribute back to your project. You may want to scan through this page that is run by github to help users on their platform pick a license. http://choosealicense.com/licenses/. I was hoping that I would be able to run the website that hosts the map in a separate container than the server. This is not my main priority however, so at this time I am only trying to get the 7dtd dedicated server running in docker. I appreciate you taking time to consider my request.

For what it's worth, I was the one originally asking about the license, and I have better things to do then rip off code and make a commercial product. I had this idea because I play 7dtd, I run a 7dtd server for a few friends and myself to play on, and I am learning Docker for work. I love GPL software, but I agree for something like this, a more permissive license is better. I was planning on releasing under a permissive license such as BSD, Apache, or MIT as I stated earlier. At this point, I am not sure how much code of yours I will actually use. I was interested in your map renderer, but this would have to run in a separate container than the game server, and I haven't reviewed your code to see how to make this is possible. I see a few potential challenges with 7dtd in docker. SteamCMD should be easy enough to install at runtime, but the 7dtd server requires you to authenticate to download. Docker is meant to be immutable, and non-interactive, with configuration done through runtime options. I can get around the login by using expect, but it feels like a bit of a hack. Maybe I can convince TFP to allow anonymous installs like many other games. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dedicated_Servers_List Perhaps I am just wasting everyones time Cheers, Mudfly

Alloc, That is pretty awesome of you to share your code, deciding on a license is hard. The main reason I would feel better with you applying a license, or even just author information is to give you credit for your work. Based on your attitude I picked a license for you! Of course it is meant to be tounge-in-cheek, but perhaps maybe it is appropriate http://www.wtfpl.net/ I am still learning docker, and getting something like 7dtd running inside docker is going to be a big challenge. I will keep you posted on my progress. Cheers! Mudfly

Alloc, I have this crazy idea to try to get 7 days to die linux dedicated server running in docker, I am not sure how much code will have to be written from scratch, or if I will leverage some of your source code to achieve this. I am just starting to explore this idea. I am curious what license you distribute your code under. I checked the repositories you are hosting in Trac and I do not see any license or copyright information. The source I write will be distributed on github, with the docker image hosted at dockerhub.com and released under a permissive license such as MIT, BSD, or Apache. Since I don't have permission to license your work, if I were to use any of it, I am just asking for clarification. I am also open to the idea of collaborating on this with you, if this is something you may be interested in.
