Configuration Overview

JunimoServer uses two configuration mechanisms:

File	Purpose	When Applied
server-settings.json	Game and server settings (farm name, cabins, players)	On server startup
.env file	Docker infrastructure, credentials, networking	On container start

Quick Reference

Common tasks:

• Change farm name, player limit, or cabin behavior → Server Settings
• Set Steam credentials, VNC password, or ports → Environment Variables
• Set up Discord bot → Discord Setup (see Discord feature for overview)
• Require password to join → Password Protection

Configuration Files

server-settings.json

Game settings like farm name, farm type, cabin strategy, and player limits. Created automatically on first startup inside the Docker settings volume.

To edit:

# View current settings
docker compose exec server cat /data/settings/server-settings.json

# Copy out for editing
docker compose cp server:/data/settings/server-settings.json ./server-settings.json
# ... edit the file ...
docker compose cp ./server-settings.json server:/data/settings/server-settings.json

See Server Settings for full reference.

.env File

Docker and infrastructure settings like Steam credentials, VNC password, and port mappings. Create this file in the same directory as docker-compose.yml.

Example minimal .env:

STEAM_USERNAME=your_steam_username
STEAM_PASSWORD=your_steam_password
VNC_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
