Counter-Strike 1.6 Server Docker Image

This image is based on debian:9 and the game server is set up via steamcmd. It aims to provide a simple method to set up a basic and also customizable Counter-Strike 1.6 server via Docker.

Quick start

The fastest way to set this up is to pull the image and start it via docker run.

docker pull febley/counter-strike_server

docker run --name counter-strike_server -p 27015:27015/udp -p 27015:27015 febley/counter-strike_server:latest

However it's recommend to run the server via docker-compose. You can find an example docker-compose.yml below.

Available environment variables

Variable	Value
PORT	27015
MAP	de_dust2
MAXPLAYERS	16
SV_LAN	0

Custom config files

You can add you own server.cfg, banned.cfg, listip.cfg and mapcycle.txt by linking them as volumes into the image.

-v /path/to/your/server.cfg:/hlds/cstrike/server.cfg

The complete command looks like this:

docker run --name counter-strike_server -p 27015:27015/udp -p 27015:27015 -v /path/to/your/server.cfg:/hlds/cstrike/server.cfg febley/counter-strike_server:latest

Keep in mind the server.cfg file can override the settings from your environment variables:
MAP, MAXPLAYERS and SV_LAN

Example server.cfg

// Use this file to configure your DEDICATED server.
// This config file is executed on server start.

// disable autoaim
sv_aim 0

// disable clients' ability to pause the server
pausable 0

// default server name. Change to "Bob's Server", etc.
hostname "Counter-Strike 1.6 Server"

// RCON password
rcon_password "password"

// default map
map de_dust2

// maximum client movement speed
sv_maxspeed 320

// 20 minute timelimit
mp_timelimit 20

// disable cheats
sv_cheats 0

// load ban files
exec listip.cfg
exec banned.cfg

Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml file and start the server via docker-compose up -d.
