inanimate/steamcmd-play repository overview

⁠It's play time!

This repository aims to provide ready to play dedicated server docker images for the most popular Valve games. A mere docker run -d -p 27000-27015:27000-27015/udp -p 27015:27015 inanimate/steamcmd-play:css will launch a Counter-Strike: Source dedicated server ready for you and your friends to join.

⁠What's Available?

The following table shows a list of the currently generated images. The first two column's are all you need to know to pick your Friday Night Delight :)

All you need to do is select the game you want to host, find it's associated tag, and:

docker run -d -p 27000-27015:27000-27015/udp -p 27015:27015 inanimate/steamcmd-play:<tag>

The container will then launch, the dedicated server will start, and you're ready to join up, suit up, and fight!

⁠Useful LAN options

Because srcds is pretty awesome, you can easily pass command line options⁠ to the server daemon. Here are a few useful examples:

docker run -p 27000-27015:27000-27015/udp -p 27015:27015 -d inanimate/steamcmd-play:css +sv_lan 1 +map de_dust2 +rcon_password awesomepassword

docker run -p 27000-27015:27000-27015/udp -p 27015:27015 -d inanimate/steamcmd-play:css +sv_lan 1 +map de_dust2 +rcon_password lolcakes +maxplayers 6 +hostname "SuperCool CSS Server"

⁠How is this done?

Basically, I generate a base container (with steamcmd) that specific game Dockerfile's inherit from. I then set the necessary variables in each game specific Dockerfile and an image gets built downloading the necessary data from Steam. After that, I ensure to set a baseline config by providing the bare minimum options via the proper launch command to ensure the server is ready to join on container launch.
