Docker - Deployment Guide

    Deploy Cored Server as a Docker container, then finish setup in the browser-based initialization wizard.

    Quick start container

    Run the following command on the Docker host:

    docker run -d \
  --name cored-server \
  -p 21000:21000 \
  -p 27881:27881 \
  -p 27882:27882/udp \
  --restart always \
  coredim/server:latest

    The container exposes these service ports:

    • 21000 (TCP): core service (HTTP API / WebSocket)
    • 27881 (TCP): RTC media fallback
    • 27882 (UDP): RTC media transport

    To keep configuration and data outside the container, mount host directories at /app/config and /app/data:

    docker run -d \
  --name cored-server \
  -p 21000:21000 \
  -p 27881:27881 \
  -p 27882:27882/udp \
  -v ./config:/app/config \
  -v ./data:/app/data \
  --restart always \
  coredim/server:latest

    Initialize Cored Server

    1. Open http://localhost:21000 in a browser. In the initialization wizard, select the server version and upload your Cored license file (.fhl).
    Tip

    When opening the wizard from another computer, replace localhost with the Docker host name or IP address.
