Technical overview
This integration uses Jagex's Linux dedicated server and is available in the Popular launch collection. Server startup, managed-network reachability, and game-client connection have been validated.
Launch workflow
From host to running server
Select RuneScape: Dragonwilds, enter the owner Player ID, server name, world name and admin password, and choose a healthy host. The optional join password may be empty for an open world. Names accept letters, numbers, spaces, underscores and hyphens. Passwords accept letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens.
First startup downloads the free dedicated server from Steam anonymously. No Steam login is required. Later restarts check for the latest public server build. The container wrapper is pinned; Steam's public server build can change. Back up before updating and keep the server and game client on compatible versions. Automatic server-build rollback is unavailable.
Networking
How players connect
The server uses separate UDP game and beacon ports, defaulting to 7777 and 8888. Both must be reachable; a world appearing in a list does not prove it is joinable. Both allocated managed-relay ports returned valid game-protocol responses during the server-side acceptance test.
Open Worlds → Public and search for the exact, case-sensitive world name. Enter the join password if configured.
Managed shared relay when the game, host, and current relay path support it.
Game management tools
Manage your RuneScape: Dragonwilds server
Available tools depend on the game, server status, and your permissions. The game guide explains any setup needed for Server Actions.
- Use the game's Settings → Server Management screen for supported in-game administration.
- Use Swarm Hosts for lifecycle, files, logs and backup controls.
Mods & Content status
Mods and custom content
No managed mod provider or compatible server-side loader has been validated. Import world saves through Files & Backups with the server stopped.
Managed mods are unavailable. Evaluate the vanilla server first; no provider, mod loader, compatibility checks or automatic content rollback are offered. Stopped world-save import is described above.
See Jagex's dedicated-server guide and the official container documentation for owner setup and world management.
Know before launch
Before you launch
- Host on Windows 10/11 or Linux with Docker Desktop in Linux-container mode on Windows, or Docker Engine or rootful Podman on Linux.
- Managed shared relay when the game, host, and current relay path support it.
