Loading mods
Local
- Place the mods inside
/modsor/servermods. - Be sure that the mod folder is all lowercase and does not show up with quotation marks around it when listing the directory eg
'@ACE(v2)' - Run the following command from the mods and/or servermods directory to confirm that all the files are lowercase.
find . -depth -exec rename 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \;If this is NOT the case, the mods will prevent the server from booting. - Make sure that each mod contains a lowercase
/addonsfolder. This folder also needs to be lowercase in order for the server to load the required PBO files inside. - Start the server.
Workshop
Set the environment variable MODS_PRESET to the HTML preset file exported from the Arma 3 Launcher. The path can be local file or a URL. A volume can be created at /arma3/steamapps/workshop/content/107410 to preserve the mods between containers.
-e MODS_PRESET="my_mods.html"
-e MODS_PRESET="http://example.com/my_mods.html"
