Coverage. This page lists only what is already public: the 505 Games dedicated server setup guide and the documentation of the community Docker image zino1337/acevo-server (MIT, unofficial). Both were checked on 2026-10-19. The official guide covers networking and names the launcher’s settings but not the underlying JSON keys, so this reference is thin by design: it does not document the server’s JSON file keys, because we found no public documentation of them. Docker names below are that image’s environment variables, not Kunos’s file keys. Defaults are the Docker image’s own, not the game’s.
