What is Squad?
Squad is a tactical FPS that provides authentic combat experiences through teamwork, communication, and gameplay. It seeks to bridge the large gap between arcade shooter and military simulation. Large scale, combined arms combat, base building, and a great integrated VoIP system.
This Docker image contains the dedicated server of the game.
How to use this image
Hosting a simple game server
Running on the host interface (recommended):
$ docker run -d --net=host -v /home/steam/squad-dedicated/ --name=squad-dedicated cm2network/squad
Running using a bind mount for data persistence on container recreation:
$ mkdir -p $(pwd)/squad-data
$ chmod 777 $(pwd)/squad-data # Makes sure the directory is writeable by the unprivileged container user
$ docker run -d --net=host -v $(pwd)/squad-data:/home/steam/squad-dedicated/ --name=squad-dedicated cm2network/squad
Running multiple instances (iterate PORT, QUERYPORT and RCONPORT):
$ docker run -d --net=host -v /home/steam/squad-dedicated/ -e PORT=7788 -e QUERYPORT=27166 -e RCONPORT=21115 --name=squad-dedicated2 cm2network/squad
It's also recommended using "--cpuset-cpus=" to limit the game server to a specific core & thread.
The container will automatically update the game on startup, so if there is a game update just restart the container.
