⁠COD4 Docker dedicated server

Runs a Call of duty 4 Modern Warfare dedicated server in a Docker container.

Update: New feature. The docker can now get the gamefiles for you.

The webgui tag is WIP

• Based on:
  • Cod4x⁠ server program
  • Unzip and curl to download the Cod4x
• You should go get the Windows client from https://cod4x.me/⁠
  • It is a patch to Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare so you are able to se the server.
• Works with custom mods and usermaps
• You can find a sample file to a "server.cfg" file on github.

⁠Here is a example to get going with a server using compose.

---
version: "2"
services:
  cod4server:
    image: henkallsn/docker-cod4
    # Change the name if you want to.
    container_name: COD4DED
    network_mode: "host"
    environment:
      - READY=YES
      - EXECFILE=server.cfg
      - SERVERTYPE=1
      # This port can be changed. It is UDP.
      - PORT=28960
      - MAP=+map_rotate
      # Mod name can be empty
      - MODNAME=
      - EXTRA=+set sv_authorizemode -1
      - GETGAMEFILES=1
    volumes:
      # Remember to change this
      - /Path/to/COD4/gamefiles:/home/cod4/gamefiles

Note the files can be found in the installed game directory.

\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare

Note the following.

The server.cfg file should be located in the main folder.

If you are running with a mod then the server.cfg file for that mod has to be in the same folder as the mod.

Important:

The docker uses "EXECFILE", "PORT", "MAP", "MODNAME" and "EXTRA" enviroment variable to pass commands to the servers startup. It also uses the "READY" enviroment variable just to check if you want to do this. :) If Empty it won't start. Here is a list of commands that I use:

⁠Testing

1. Run a COD4 client and try to connect to yourhostIPaddress:28960

OBS: If you can't see the server in the game then try to add the server ip to the favorites in Call of Duty server list. Remember the portnumber. Also check your filter so you allow it to show moded servers.

If you are running version 1.7 of the game then get the patch from https://cod4x.me/⁠ (The Windows client download). This can be removed again if you don't want to use it anymore.

⁠When server is up and running:

Then I will recomend running the container as User: cod4. Else it will run as root as default. This can be done with adding this to the stack under "container_name: COD4DED":

user: cod4
