thalhalla/steamer repository overview

⁠steamer

Docker that contains steam, caution steam can cause severe burns!

⁠Usage

make install

then to enter the container: make enter

where you can then install by doing /assets/steamcmdinstaller3.9.sh

follow the prompts

with your game server installed you can then replace assets/steamer.txt with a custom script of your own, and replace assets/run.sh with the server command then finally

make run

⁠Caveats

⁠GID

You will need to generate a game server login token (GSLT) here⁠

for CS:GO you must use 730 for the GID, but in this directory the STEAM_GID must be 740 I think this is the difference between CSGO itself and the CSGO server

⁠old method

Because of the Steam Guard Token. You must get into the VM, login as the steam user and incant /home/steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh, then at the steam prompt type login $STEAM_USER $STEAM_PASSWORD with the steam credentials for your dedicated server account (it is recommended you make a separate account for each dedicated server you put up)

I’m looking for a good way to automate this process.

At this point you will have to do the dance to get the steam token.

And to make all this persistent you’ll need to -v mount at least the steam directories, but I’ve just been mounting the entire /home/steam directory so I can save maps and other things out as well YMMV

you can see an example here that I made for octohost.io https://github.com/Thalhalla/armocto⁠

saving the directory before migrating to octohost can be a tricky step. Essentially I run make run on this project: http://thalhalla.github.io/dockarmaiii/⁠ and copy the home directory out at that time. Then copy over to my octohost into the /exports/armocto directory

view the dev docs here on creating a script for the steamcmd: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Creating_a_script⁠ that is the same as the default steamer.txt given here
