Start a server on an automatically allocated port, mounting the contents of /home/srcds/gmod-1 over the internal base:ĭocker run -privileged=true -d -P -e UNION=1 -v /home/srcds/gmod-1:/gmod-volume suchipi/gmod-server Notes/Todo Start a server on port 27015 without using the union filesystem:ĭocker run -d -p 27015:27015/udp suchipi/gmod-server Using unionfs-fuse requires the container to be run with -privileged=true and the environment variable UNION to be set. You can also create a start-server.sh in the volume to customize what happens when the server is started (for instance, you may want to automatically update it, or use a more sophisticated crash detection system). This allows you to customize the server and/or run multiple servers with different configs without needing a copy of the (~3GB) base server for each one.Īny file you put in /gmod-volume will override the files in /gmod-base, and attempting to write to any file in /gmod-base that doesn't exist in /gmod-volume will instead copy it to /gmod-volume and make the changes there (Copy-On-Write). gmod-volume is exposed as a docker volume. The container optionally uses unionfs-fuse to make a union filesystem layering /gmod-volume over /gmod-base, where the server is installed. This is a set of Dockerfile and scripts that will create a container that runs a Garry's Mod Server.

Gmod file doesnt exist addon
