TF2

How to use this image

Hosting a simple game server

Running on the host interface (recommended):

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

Running using a bind mount for data persistence on container recreation:

$ mkdir -p $(pwd)/tf2-data
$ chmod 777 $(pwd)/tf2-data # Makes sure the directory is writeable by the unprivileged container user
$ docker run -d -it --net=host -v $(pwd)/tf2-data:/home/steam/tf-dedicated/ --name=tf2-dedicated -e SRCDS_TOKEN={YOURTOKEN} cm2network/tf2

Running multiple instances (increment SRCDS_PORT and SRCDS_TV_PORT):

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

SRCDS_TOKEN is required to be listed & reachable. Generate one here using AppID 440:
https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers

SRCDS_WORKSHOP_AUTHKEY is required to use workshop features:
https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

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.
