# Hosting on Linux
-> **TODO:** If you got experience with hosting a dedicated server on Linux as well as setting up a dedicated server in container environments please extend this section.
+Hosting in Linux is still WIP.
[This issue thread on Github](https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/issues/49) contains some instructions to succesfully host a dedicated server on Linux.
+
+Linux users can launch the server executable using Wine.
+
+As servers currently needs DirectX 11 capabilities, a dedicated hosted on linux will need a graphic card and a working X11 environment to work.
+
+If one of those two conditions are not met, you'll want to know how to host a [Headless Server](#Headless_Servers)
+
+# <a name="Headless_Servers">Headless Servers</a>
+
+## Using Docker
+Two docker images are currently available
+- [pg9182/northstar_dedicated](https://github.com/pg9182/northstar-dedicated) : Advanced image with server management tools and better performance
+- [legonzaur/northstar-server-headless](https://github.com/Legonzaur/northstar-server-headless) : Basic image without management tools
+
+Those two docker images are using XVFB internally, an headless fork on Xorg.
+
+## Without using Docker
+
+Hosting on a headless linux server without docker on Linux is not reccomended, as you'll be forced to build packages yourself.
+
+You can find instruction on pg9182's repository [pg9182/northstar_dedicatd#running-with-wine](https://github.com/pg9182/northstar-dedicated#running-with-wine)
