PvZ2 Gardendless Docker Helper

pvzge.sh is a helper script for managing the PvZ2 Gardendless Docker container. It wraps common Docker commands so you can start, stop, update, or delete the container with a single command.

Requirements

• Docker Engine is installed and running
• Bash-compatible shell (e.g., Git Bash on Windows, WSL, Linux terminal)

Quick Start

# start (or create) the container on the default port 8080
./pvzge.sh start

# open the game
# -> http://localhost:8080

To bind to a different host port (for example port 80):

./pvzge.sh start 80

Available Commands

Command	Description
./pvzge.sh start [HOST_PORT]	Starts the container. If it does not exist, the script creates it using the gaozih/pvzge:latest image. Defaults to host port 8080.
./pvzge.sh stop	Stops the running container if present.
./pvzge.sh update [HOST_PORT]	Pulls the latest image, removes the existing container including save data, and recreates it.
./pvzge.sh delete	Stops and removes the container and attempts to delete the image including save data locally.
./pvzge.sh status	Shows Docker status for the container.
./pvzge.sh help	Displays inline usage information.

Data Safety

update and delete will remove the container and your progress. Always export your save file from the game before running these commands.

Troubleshooting

• "Docker CLI not found" – Make sure Docker is installed and added to your PATH.
• "Docker daemon is not running" – Start Docker service before using the script.
• Permission errors on Windows – Run the script from Bash, and ensure the user can access Docker.

Customization

The script defaults are set near the top of pvzge.sh:

IMAGE="gaozih/pvzge:latest"
CONTAINER="pvzge"
DEFAULT_HOST_PORT="8080"
CONTAINER_PORT="80"

Adjust these values if you host multiple instances or rely on a different image tag.
