Dockerised CS:GO Server.

This repo contains a dockerised cs:go server.

Size of the docker image: 106MB.

Warning: When the server is installed you will have around 15Gb of space used by the container.

Usage

This server works out of the box. Only pulling the docker image will start the CS:GO server in 0.0.0.0:27015

Using Docker

docker run -d \
    -p [PORT]:27015/udp \
    dbaus/csgo:latest

Note: The -d option will run the container in daemon mode.

Using docker-compose

docker-compose up 

Environment variables

Currently, the only environment variable available to configure is the Game Server Login Token (GSLT).

This token is necessary if you want to make your containerised server publicly available. Quoting Valve:

CS:GO game servers and GOTV relays not logged in to a persistent game server account with a Game Server Login Token (GSLT) will only allow clients to connect from the same LAN RFC1918 addresses (10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255,172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255,192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255). If your server has a public routable IP address and clients need to connect from outside the server LAN then you need to get registered for GSLT.

Specifying environment variables using docker compose

version: '2'
services:
  csgo:
    image: "dbaus/csgo:latest"
    ports:
      - '27015/udp:27015/udp'
    environment:
      - GAME_SERVER_LOGIN_TOKEN=1231B77D451FE2230DC1

Specifying environment variables on the Docker command line
