I am going to be honest, in that i've spent far less time learning the vanilla server switches as I have spent maintaining the TShock version over the years. I have some concerns with how this bootstrapper is defined, and the world argument is always present.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ -z "$WORLD_FILENAME" ]; then
/terraria-server/TerrariaServer -world $@

I havent tried to execute this code yet, but if I am reading this correctly, if the $WORLD_FILENAME is null, then why would we specify the world flag without a value?

if [ -z "$WORLD_FILENAME" ]; then
/terraria-server/TerrariaServer -world $@
else
/terraria-server/TerrariaServer -world $CONFIGPATH/$WORLD_FILENAME $@

I think the intent is that worlds are volumed in the /root/.local/share/Terraria/Worlds path where the executable defaults saving world files. Is the intent that the configuration data lives side-by-side with the world file on the host machine?

Making this change would force users through the bootstrapper. If they do not have a world file how would that work? They would have to volume in the directory to save the data and then copy the data to where they store their config.

Oops! You're right, I shouldn't have the "-world" on line 4. I can fix that.

The goal was to make it so that the bootstrapper is a pass-through if WORLD_FILENAME is not defined. I.e., if they do not define WORLD_FILENAME, it should just call "/terraria-server/TerrariaServer $@" (which should still work if the users append "-world somefile.wld").

With respect to the CONFIGPATH, this is really meant to sync up with the tshock version (which defaults to the world path - "ENV CONFIGPATH=/root/.local/share/Terraria/Worlds"). I actually moved over from the tshock version to vanilla (due to the most recent Terraria update), so my goal was to sync up with that. Alternatively, I could add another "WORLDPATH" variable if we wanted to separate the world and configuration paths.

The overall goal was to try avoiding the necessity of hardcoding world file paths into the entrypoint / command, but to do so by using an abstraction that might be helpful in the future (by adding a thin wrapper around the vanilla server launcher).

Fixed bug when no WORLD_FILENAME is provided

@ryansheehan, just checking on this. :) The "-world" error should be fixed now.
