rouhim/killing-floor-2-server repository overview

This repository provides a safe⁠ container image for the Killing Floor 2⁠ game server. It is designed to be used with Docker Compose, making it easy to set up and manage your game server environment.

⁠Requirements

• Docker⁠
• Docker Compose⁠
• At least 1GB RAM

⁠Installation

Once Docker and Docker Compose are installed, clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/RouHim/killing-floor-2-container-image.git
cd killing-floor-2-container-image

Before starting the server, create the required folder structure, and adjust the permissions:

mkdir data/ 
chmod 777 data/

⁠Usage

To start the Killing Floor 2 server, navigate to the cloned repository's directory and use Docker Compose:

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

This will pull the latest image and start the server in detached mode.

When starting the server for the first time:

• The config files and folders will be automatically created in the config/ folder.
• The server will download the latest version of the game from Steam to the data/ folder.

To restart the server after making changes to the configuration, use the following command:

docker-compose restart

In order to check the server logs, use the following command:

docker-compose logs -f

⁠Update

To update the server, just restart the container. The server checks for updates and validates on every boot per default.

⁠Configuration

The server configuration does not differ from the official server configuration. Just follow an existing server configuration guide like this⁠.

The data folder contains the game server data. Any modification to the server configuration should be done when the server is stopped. Otherwise, the changes will be most likely overwritten.

Configuration via environment variables is also possible:
