## Quick Start
Start the server in interactive mode.
```
docker run --rm -it -P -v /tmp/factorio:/factorio dtandersen/factorio
```
Here is an explanation of the options:
* ```--rm``` - Remove container after stopping
* ```-it``` - Interactive mode, i.e. you can see the console
* ```-P``` - Expose all ports.
* ```-v``` - Volume to mount.
Press ^C to stop the server. There is now a ```server-settings.json``` in ```/tmp/factorio/config```. Modify this to your liking.
Now start the server as a daemon.
Begin by running the server to create the necessary folder structure and configuration files under ```/tmp/factorio```.
```
docker run -d -P -v /tmp/factorio:/factorio --name factorio dtandersen/factorio
```
Try to connect to the server. Check the logs if it isn't working:

* ```--name``` - Name the container ```factorio``` (otherwise it has a random name).
Check the logs to see what happened:
```
docker logs factorio

```docker start factorio```
