Local host commands (?)

[Rom0067]

I'm new to self hosting and docker game servers so I apologize in advance...

I managed to get a terraria server started on my Linux server with docker. Other then not having a setup code ( I see there is a walkthrough here I'm going to try soon.) I was wondering if there is a way to run commands from my Linux server. I was able to do it when I restarted the server with a previously made world. Is there a way to pull it up? Sorry if this is a dumb question please be gentle lol

It's not a dumb question, but, which image are you using? Most likely you're better off just running the commands ingame.

Thanks for your kindness. I am using ryshe/terraria:latest. It showed me more commands options in the help menu that's why I was thinking it might be better for a noobie

There's no setup code once you register. Try docker container attach if you want to interact with it?

I tried attach and my cli just hung up nothing happened. Thank you though.

So I did a little more exploring and most likely not surprising to most of you but I made a discovery lol. The attached picture is what I am looking to use (in case I didn't explain it right). I got there by stopping container and running -it in place of -d. Again no surprise I'm just happy with myself. Anyway using chatgpt to bounce ideas off it seems like the initial run commands doesnt have stdin so because of that I can't attach to a running container unless stop/restart with -it. I was hoping to be able to login while server is up to issue a command real quick without opening the game (kids playing Im busy etc)
