## What it is
A Docker image that packages and provisions a Palworld dedicated game server for easy deployment and management. It provides environment-variable configuration, backups, player detection, and server management via the Palworld REST API instead of RCON.

## Use cases
- host a palworld dedicated server in docker
- self-host a palworld server with docker-compose
- automate palworld server backups and restarts
- run a palworld gameserver on linux
- manage palworld server players via rest api
- provision a palworld server with environment variables

## When to choose
- you want a maintained, one-command Palworld server container
- you prefer REST API-based server management over RCON
- you deploy game servers with Docker or Docker Compose

## When to avoid
- you need RCON-based tooling, which this image has removed
- you want a Windows-native server without Docker
- you need bundled custom scripts, which this image deliberately does not ship

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: deployment, container-runtime, cli, backup, configuration-management
- domain: gaming-tools, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, cli
- tags: palworld, dedicated-server, game-server, docker-image, rest-api, docker-compose, containers, automation, docker, linux
