A server folder with Settings/docker.json is a Docker installation: MySQL, the
auth server and the world server run in containers controlled through the
docker command line. Every other folder is a repack and goes through the
unchanged Windows code. driver::run, process::observe and layout::scan check
for the marker first and hand over to coa_core::docker.
- start: network, runtime image (libraries only, binaries are mounted from
Core/), database healthy, world listening, then auth. A container that stops
while starting reports the cause found in its log (DatabaseNotRunning,
PortInUse, ...). New error code DockerUnavailable (docker missing, stopped,
or not usable by this user).
- stop: world (180 s to save), auth, database; exit code 0 observed.
- observe: container state, health and port readiness mapped to the existing
ServiceState. Readiness is a connection that stays open, because Docker's
proxy accepts connections before the server inside listens.
- passwords go by environment, never on a command line; the remote console is
published on 127.0.0.1 only; the server's own database updater is turned off
(it needs a mysql client the image does not have and stops the server).
Tested: 18 new tests with an in-memory Docker, and a real run through
examples/drive: database, world (ready in 11 s) and auth started from a
package-shaped folder, stopped with exit code 0 and restarted.
Not included: installation, database setup, backups and SQL through the
container, updates, firewall/exposure, the client under Wine/Proton.
PLAY turns into UPDATE CLIENT when a tracked client is outdated; with no client linked
it offers choosing an existing folder or downloading from the community launcher servers
(resumable, hash-verified, free-space checked, progress and stop). Files the player changed
are kept on request or moved aside, never silently replaced. Existing clients can be adopted
from Settings. Fresh downloads get a realmlist for each installed locale.
Fixes zero-length files in the downloader (found by the live probe).
