k4rian/steamcmd repository overview

A base Docker image for Valve's SteamCMD⁠ based on Debian⁠ (bookworm-slim).

⁠Introduction

This image can be considered a fork of CM2Walki⁠'s steamcmd⁠ image with some modifications and fixes:

• A default gameserver folder (located in /home/steam) has been added to keep all server files instead of using a different folder for each game.
• An issue involving the steamclient.so library has been fixed by creating a symbolic link to the corresponding file.
• An issue concerning the setlocale function has been fixed by installing and configuring the missing package.
• The image doesn't use a volume by default.

⁠Usage

Whilst this image should be used as a base image for any supported SteamCMD game server, it can also be used directly for testing purposes.

Example 1:
Create a new container and get access to the SteamCMD console:

docker run --name steamcmd -it k4rian/steamcmd

Example 2:
Create a ephemeral container and use SteamCMD to download the Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server files in the current directory then quit:

docker run --rm \
  -v $(pwd):/home/steam/gameserver \
  k4rian/steamcmd \
  +force_install_dir /home/steam/gameserver \
  +login anonymous \
  +app_update 222860 \
  +quit

⁠Manual build

Requirements:
— Docker >= 18.03.1
— Git (optional)

Like any Docker image the building process is pretty straightforward:

• Clone (or download) the GitHub repository to an empty folder on your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/K4rian/docker-steamcmd.git .

• Then run the following commands inside the newly created folder:

docker build --no-cache -f Dockerfile -t k4rian/steamcmd:latest .

docker build --no-cache -f min.Dockerfile -t k4rian/steamcmd:min .
