+# NETfishing Dedicated Server
+
+This repository packages the headless NETfishing server produced by the main
+game project. Gameplay and networking code remain in the `netfishing`
+repository so clients and servers use the same protocol implementation.
+
+## Stage a build
+
+Export the `Linux Dedicated Server` preset from the game project, then stage
+its executable and PCK:
+
+```sh
+./scripts/stage-build.sh ../netfishing/builds/v0.6.4-alpha/server-linux-x86_64
+```
+
+The staged binaries under `dist/` are release inputs and are intentionally not
+tracked by Git.
+
+Create a deterministic native archive after staging:
+
+```sh
+./scripts/package-native.sh 0.6.4-alpha
+```
+
+## Run natively
+
+Copy `dist/NETfishingServer.x86_64` and `dist/NETfishingServer.pck` into the
+same directory, make the executable runnable, and start it with a persistent
+data directory:
+
+```sh
+./NETfishingServer.x86_64 \
+	-- \
+  --config=/etc/netfishing-server.cfg \
+  --data-dir=/var/lib/netfishing-server
+```
+
+Copy `config/server.cfg.example` to `/etc/netfishing-server.cfg` and adjust the
+room name, UDP port, player limit, and public-listing preference. Forward the
+configured UDP port through the host firewall and router when accepting
+Internet players.
+
+The data directory contains the server identity and moderation state. Keep it
+persistent and back it up; replacing it changes the server fingerprint shown
+to returning players.
+
+Configuration is applied in this order: config file, environment variables,
+then command-line overrides. Supported command-line options are `--name`,
+`--bind`, `--port`, `--max-players`, `--data-dir`, `--discovery-url`,
+`--public`, and `--private`. Value options use `--option=value`. Keep the first
+standalone `--` shown above; it separates Godot engine flags from server flags.
+
+Public listing requires the discovery URL and a publicly reachable ENet UDP
+port. Discovery makes a server findable but does not relay gameplay traffic.
+
+For a systemd installation, create a dedicated `netfishing` system user, place
+the two staged build files in `/opt/netfishing-server`, install the sample
+configuration and environment files under `/etc`, and copy
+`systemd/netfishing-server.service` to the system unit directory. The service
+expects `/var/lib/netfishing-server` to be writable by that user.
+
+## Run with Docker Compose
+
+```sh
+./scripts/stage-build.sh ../netfishing/builds/v0.6.4-alpha/server-linux-x86_64
+docker compose build
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Set values such as `NETFISHING_SERVER_NAME`, `NETFISHING_SERVER_PORT`,
+`NETFISHING_SERVER_MAX_PLAYERS`, and `NETFISHING_SERVER_PUBLIC` in a local
+`.env` file. The Compose service runs without Linux capabilities, uses a
+read-only root filesystem, and stores persistent state in a named volume.
+
+## Steam distribution
+
+Publish the server as a separate Steam Tool AppID/depot linked to the base
+game. Replace the placeholders in copies of the files under `steam/`, then use
+SteamCMD to upload the staged `dist/` directory. Keep the example files free of
+private Steam credentials.
