lacledeslan/gamesvr-hl2dm-freeplay repository overview

⁠Laclede's LAN Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Dedicated Freeplay Server in Docker

This repository is maintained by Laclede's LAN⁠. Its contents are heavily tailored and tweaked for use at our charity LAN-Parties. For third-parties we recommend using this repo only as a reference example and then building your own using gamesvr-hl2dm⁠ as the base image for your customized server.

⁠Important Note Regarding !sm_admin

To enable on your game client:

Valve published an update in July 2018 that switched the default value of cl_showpluginmessages ConVar to 0. This setting determines whether instances of a special set of exposed plugin-like networked dialogs (e.g. SourceMod menus, but not limited to) are allowed to display on the client. So, this change caused all new HL2:DM installs not to allow these dialogs by default anymore. To enabled !sm_admin menus in your client, set the cvar cl_showpluginmessages to 1.

⁠Linux Container

⁠Download

docker pull lacledeslan/gamesvr-hl2dm-freeplay;

⁠Run simple interactive server

docker run -it --rm --net=host lacledeslan/gamesvr-hl2dm-freeplay ./srcds_run -game hl2mp +map dm_crossfire_final -usercon +sv_lan 1

⁠Run Self Tests

This project includes a test script that can be used to verify a build gamesvr-hl2dm image. No changes or pull requests will be accepted to this repository if any tests fail.

./tests/gamesvr-hl2dm-freeplay.sh lacledeslan/gamesvr-hl2dm-freeplay /app/srcds_run -game hl2mp +map dm_fool_day -insecure -norestart +sv_lan 1

⁠Getting Started with Game Servers in Docker

Docker⁠ is an open-source project that bundles applications into lightweight, portable, self-sufficient containers. For a crash course on running Dockerized game servers check out Using Docker for Game Servers⁠.
