How to Create Your Own Raspberry Pi Docker Based 0.5.3 Alpha WoW Server [2025]

Today I'm going to go over how to create your very own Alpha World of Warcraft 0.5.3 server from start to finish using a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS. I'll be running this through Docker with the optional Portainer appliance. This will be running patch version 0.5.3 "Friends and Family" Alpha and we’re going to be utilizing The Alpha Project. This tutorial is strictly for educational purposes.
