tf2-dedicated-server

![Publish Docker Image (GPR)]([***]

This repository uses Docker and SteamCMD to download and check for updates to the TF2 dedicated server. If there's an update, it pushes the latest Docker image to the GitHub Docker registry.

slim removes unnecessary files like maps, which helps reduce the image size.

Installation

To install the TF2 dedicated server from the command line, use one of the following commands:

docker pull ghcr.io/doctor-server/tf2-dedicated-server:latest

or, use slim tag for smaller image size and faster deployment. (Recommended)

docker pull ghcr.io/doctor-server/tf2-dedicated-server:slim

Initialization (tag: latest)

Step 1: Copy Server Files

First, create a temporary container to copy the necessary server files to your local tf directory:

docker create --name tf2-temp-server ghcr.io/doctor-server/tf2-dedicated-server:latest sleep infinity
docker cp tf2-temp-server:/home/steam/serverfiles/tf/cfg ./tf
docker cp tf2-temp-server:/home/steam/serverfiles/tf/maps ./tf
docker cp tf2-temp-server:/home/steam/serverfiles/tf/materials ./tf
docker rm tf2-temp-server

Step 2: Docker Compose Configuration

To run the TF2 server using Docker Compose, add the following service configuration to your docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  tf2-demo-server:
    image: ghcr.io/doctor-server/tf2-dedicated-server:latest
    command: ./srcds_run -console -game tf +sv_pure 1 +randommap +maxplayers 24
    ports:
      - "27015:27015/tcp"
      - "27015:27015/udp"
    volumes:
      - ./tf/cfg:/tf/cfg
      - ./tf/maps:/tf/maps
      - ./tf/materials:/tf/materials
    restart: always
    tty: true
    stdin_open: true

Initialization (tag: slim)

Step 1: Copy Server Files

First, create a temporary container to copy the necessary server files to your local tf directory:

docker create --name tf2-temp-server ghcr.io/doctor-server/tf2-dedicated-server:slim sleep infinity
docker cp tf2-temp-server:/home/steam/serverfiles/tf/cfg ./tf
docker cp tf2-temp-server:/home/steam/serverfiles/tf/maps ./tf
docker cp tf2-temp-server:/home/steam/serverfiles/tf/materials ./tf
docker rm tf2-temp-server

Step 2: Add Maps

Ensure you add at least one map to the maps folder in your local tf directory.

Step 3: Docker Compose Configuration

To run the TF2 server using Docker Compose, add the following service configuration to your docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  tf2-demo-server:
    image: ghcr.io/doctor-server/tf2-dedicated-server:slim
    command: ./srcds_run -console -game tf +sv_pure 1 +randommap +maxplayers 24
    ports:
      - "27015:27015/tcp"
      - "27015:27015/udp"
    volumes:
      - ./tf/cfg:/tf/cfg
      - ./tf/maps:/tf/maps
      - ./tf/materials:/tf/materials
    restart: always
    tty: true
    stdin_open: true
