Notes

This image requires ~10GB of free space
All you need (addons, data, gamemodes) located in /gmodserv/garrysmod
Such modules like gmsv_socket_linux.dll requires additional port forwarding rules. Example. If you plan to use 27030/tcp then you need to add following option to docker run command: -p 27030:27030/tcp
The next useful thing it's --rm option. If you use it the container will automatically removed after srcds process being killed. You should not remove trash containers by hands with this param
--name anyname assign pretty name to your container
-d option runs container in background. You can attach them with docker attach container_name (don't use with --rm).
-it there is 2 options where -t allocate a pseudo-TTY (required) and -i which allow you to interact with gmod console (run commands etc)
docker logs -f container_name let's receive logs from server!
docker exec -it container_name bash connect to container shell
