About

A Generic Docker/Docker Compose workflow for spinning up game servers which use Steam/SteamCMD.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Usage

1. Add any additional config files to the config folder
2. Add any additional environment variables to ./config/config.env (Sample provided)
3. Run docker-compose up -d

Notes

• This workflow includes additional support for shipping container logs to a remote syslog server. To enable this feature, instead of the default docker-compose up -d command, use the following command:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f syslog-support.yml up -d

Additionally, ensure that the SYSLOG_SERVER_ADDRESS environment variable is set in ./config/config.env.

• The game_server container adds the SYS_NICE capability to ensure that the container runtime is able to give priority to the game server daemon, for added reliability/stability. If you notice general host system instability, comment or remove this from the docker-compose.yml and rebuild the container.
