docker-mtga

The docker image that allows you to play Magic The Gathering Arena on Linux

Basically I got tired of deleting and cleaning up the MTGA Install every time the MTGALauncher needs to update itself, which in most of the cases breaks Wine Installation

DockerHub Repo: https://hub.docker.com/r/yeltcinborja/docker-mtga

Installation

git clone https://github.com/yeltcinBorja/docker-mtga.git
cd docker-mtga
docker buildx build -t yeltcinBorja/docker-mtga .

Usage

Allow X11 comms between the host and docker-container

xhost +Local:*

Specify where you want to Download all the Game Assets and Files to (~10GB of Data), in my case its the same folder as Dockerfile/MTGA_Downloads/ (this will be permanently mapped to the game so you dont have to re-download all the data everytime you restart the docker-container)

mkdir MTGA_Downloads

Run Docker

docker run -v ./MTGA_Downloads:/home/mtga/.wine64_new/drive_c/Program\ Files/Wizards\ of\ the\ Coast/MTGA/MTGA_Data/Downloads \
-e PULSE_SERVER=unix:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native \
-v ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native \
-v ~/.config/pulse/cookie:/root/.config/pulse/cookie \
--device /dev/dri \
--device /dev/snd \
--env="DISPLAY" \
--net=host \
-it yeltcinBorja/docker-mtga /bin/bash

Use bash-script with above

bash run_docker-mtga

Docker run Parameters

Maps the volume where Downloads folder will go, you need this to permanently keep your downloaded Assets and Data to avoid re-downloading it every time you start the docker-container

-v ./MTGA_Downloads:/home/mtga/.wine64_new/drive_c/Program\ Files/Wizards\ of\ the\ Coast/MTGA/MTGA_Data/Downloads

This will allow sound be played on the host from docker-container (Assuming you run PuseAudio)

-e PULSE_SERVER=unix:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native 
-v ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native 
-v ~/.config/pulse/cookie:/root/.config/pulse/cookie 
--device /dev/snd 

This will allow docker-container use your graphics card (OpenGL and drivers)

--device /dev/dri

X11 Communications between host and docker-container

--env="DISPLAY"
--net=host

Playing MTGA

To start MTGA inside the docker-container
