You wouldn't want the full Unity editor for that use... you'd make an executable build of your game in server configuration and build a docker container of that.

Sorry that's what I meant.

Well that would be nobrainer with something like: `docker-compose scale unity=n` where n = 1...n

*You will only have to assign pool of ip addresses for your services, since it's fixed in this example.

Easier and cheaper to run your MP code as a plain old .NET process and client lib.

You are assuming you can divorce your authoritative server logic from Unity.

You can I believe - your server will end up being a standalone binary with all the necessary Unity things bundled in.

I believe the parent means writing your game logic in pure C# and avoiding the need for Unity entirely server side. For some types of games that’s doable, but when you start needing physics or nav agents or even animation driven logic a headless Unity binary is the only real option.

Or you could use nodejs & socket.io for the MP server which is even cheaper

Not sure how it's cheaper cost-wise, since the .NET runtime is free, but his solution avoids a re-write of game code in JS.
