Just a follow-up to this, if DCS_Server.exe could be run without having to display the splash-screen window, too (headless), I believe that it would be 100% possible to run it from a docker container image.
I am trying to get this to run within a docker container. The problem is that, even with the --quiet switch, a progress bar window is presented. It would be preferable if there was also a --verbose option to output to the command-line (or pipe to a text file) instead of requiring the progress bar window.
There was a new release of the Open Beta Modular installer yesterday. I haven't seen an update to the DCS_Updater.exe to enable it to be run silently. Has there been any progress on this?
