A Docker image for running a dedicated Quake Live server. It includes installation of minqlx and bundles most of the custom maps from the Steam workshop.
To start a new server using this image:
- Create a directory to store the persistent Redis database files. For this example I called it ql-redis.
- Launch a Redis container:
sudo docker run -d --name redis -v ql-redis:/data redis
- Launch the Quake Live server container:
sudo docker run -p 27960:27960/udp --link redis -d --name ql -e name="Test Server" -e admin="12345" dpadgett/ql-docker
This can be automated using Docker's Tutum service, which adds remote log viewing and resource monitoring. See the included ql-rbx.yml and ql-sjc.yml files for example Tutum stack definitions.
The image exposes a few environment variables to control deployment:
name
: The name of the serveradmin
: The steamid of the server admin. This person will automatically get rcon access to the server when they are connected.gameport
: The port to start the server on.rconport
: The port to listen for remote rcon connections from.
To use a custom server configuration, or to add additional files, you can either fork this repository and edit the included files and then build a new image, mount the files into the container using docker's -v localpath:containerpath
option, or go into the container and edit them manually using sudo docker exec -t -i containerid /bin/bash
- Fork it!
