⁠What is Team Fortress 2?

Nine distinct classes provide a broad range of tactical abilities and personalities. Constantly updated with new game modes, maps, equipment and, most importantly, hats! This Docker image contains the dedicated server of the game.

⁠How to use this image

⁠Hosting a simple game server

Running on the host interface (recommended):

$ docker run -d --net=host --name=tf2-dedicated -e SRCDS_TOKEN={YOURTOKEN} cm2network/tf2

Running multiple instances (increment SRCDS_PORT and SRCDS_TV_PORT):

$ docker run -d --net=host -e SRCDS_PORT=27016 -e SRCDS_TV_PORT=27021 -e SRCDS_TOKEN={YOURTOKEN} --name=tf2-dedicated2 cm2network/tf2

SRCDS_TOKEN is required to be listed & reachable; https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers⁠

It's also recommended to use "--cpuset-cpus=" to limit the game server to a specific core & thread.
The container will automatically update the game on startup, so if there is a game update just restart the container.
