psauxw/steamcmd repository overview

⁠🎮 psauxw/steamcmd

A flexible base image for running any Steam dedicated game server via SteamCMD — including Windows servers via Wine. Built on Ubuntu 22.04, rebuilt daily to stay up to date.

⁠Quick Start

Linux server (e.g. Valheim):

docker run -d \
  -e STEAM_APP_ID=896660 \
  -e SERVER_DIR="/home/steam/servers/valheim" \
  -e SERVER_START_CMD="./valheim_server.x86_64 -name \$SERVER_NAME -port \$PORT -world \$WORLD_NAME -password \$SERVER_PASSWORD" \
  -e PORT=2456 \
  -e SERVER_NAME="My Server" \
  -e WORLD_NAME="MyWorld" \
  -e SERVER_PASSWORD="secret" \
  -p 2456-2458:2456-2458/udp \
  psauxw/steamcmd

Windows server (e.g. V Rising):

docker run -d \
  -e STEAM_APP_ID=1829350 \
  -e WINDOWS_SERVER=true \
  -e SERVER_DIR="/home/steam/servers/vrising" \
  -e SERVER_START_CMD="VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataPath /home/steam/servers/vrising/save-data -serverName \$SERVER_NAME -gamePort \$PORT -serverPassword \$SERVER_PASSWORD" \
  -e PORT=9876 \
  -e SERVER_NAME="My V Rising Server" \
  -e SERVER_PASSWORD="secret" \
  -p 9876:9876/udp \
  -p 9876:9876/tcp \
  -p 9877:9877/tcp \
  psauxw/steamcmd

⁠Docker Compose Examples

⁠Linux Server (Valheim)
services:
  valheim:
    image: psauxw/steamcmd
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      STEAM_APP_ID: "896660"
      SERVER_DIR: "/home/steam/servers/valheim"
      PORT: "2456"
      SERVER_NAME: "My Valheim Server"
      WORLD_NAME: "MyWorld"
      SERVER_PASSWORD: "${SERVER_PASSWORD}"
      AUTO_UPDATE: "true"
      SERVER_PORTS: "2456/udp,2457/udp,2458/udp"
      SERVER_START_CMD: >
        ./valheim_server.x86_64
        -name $$SERVER_NAME
        -port $$PORT
        -world $$WORLD_NAME
        -password $$SERVER_PASSWORD
    ports:
      - "2456-2458:2456-2458/udp"
    volumes:
      - ./gamedata:/home/steam/servers
⁠Windows Server via Wine (V Rising)
services:
  vrising:
    image: psauxw/steamcmd
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      STEAM_APP_ID: "1829350"
      SERVER_DIR: /home/steam/servers/vrising
      WINDOWS_SERVER: "true"
      AUTO_UPDATE: "true"
      SERVER_PORTS: 9876/udp,9876/tcp,9877/tcp
      PORT: "9876"
      SERVER_NAME: "My V Rising Server"
      SERVER_PASSWORD: "${SERVER_PASSWORD}"
      SERVER_START_CMD: >
        VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataPath
        /home/steam/servers/vrising/save-data -serverName $$SERVER_NAME
        -gamePort $$PORT -serverPassword $$SERVER_PASSWORD
    ports:
      - 9876:9876/udp
      - 9876:9876/tcp
      - 9877:9877/tcp
    volumes:
      - ./vrising-data:/home/steam/servers

Note: In Docker Compose, use $$VAR (double dollar sign) inside SERVER_START_CMD to prevent Compose from expanding variables before passing them to the container. Store secrets like SERVER_PASSWORD in a .env file next to your docker-compose.yml.

⁠Windows Servers (Wine)

Setting WINDOWS_SERVER=true enables Wine support for games that only ship a Windows dedicated server binary. The Wine prefix is pre-initialized inside the image — no extra setup or volumes required. Just set the flag and point SERVER_START_CMD at the .exe.

You do not need to mount a Wine volume. Only mount a volume for your game data:

volumes:
  - ./gamedata:/home/steam/servers

⁠Persist Your Data

Mount a volume so save files and configs survive restarts:

-v ./gamedata:/home/steam/servers

⁠Find Your App ID

Look up any game's dedicated server App ID at steamdb.info⁠.
