Counter-Strike 1.6 Docker Server

Powered by Docker, Terraform and Microsoft Azure.

A Docker image for Counter-Strike 1.6 dedicated servers. Bundled with custom maps, Metamod and AMX Mod X. Supports deployment to Microsoft Azure via Terraform.

Getting Started

Run Locally

To start the Docker container locally, open a command shell and execute:

docker run -d --rm -p 27015:27015/tcp -p 27015:27015/udp -p 27020:27020/udp -p 26900:26900/udp --name cs16 paschi/cs16

This will open the required ports and start the server. You can then start your CS 1.6 client and should see the server listed under "Find Servers > LAN". If you're running the container on WSL2 and the server is not displayed or you can't connect to it, you may need to connect directly to the IP that is listed when running ifconfig:

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 172.29.23.5  netmask 255.255.240.0  broadcast 172.29.79.255

Open the console in your CS 1.6 client and enter connect 172.29.23.5 to connect to the server.

To stop and remove the Docker container, run:

docker stop cs16

Cloud Deployment

The Terraform configurations in the terraform directory allow deploying the Docker image to Microsoft Azure. To start the deployment, run this code after authenticating using the Azure CLI:

cd terraform

# initialize the working directory for use with Terraform
terraform init

# create an execution plan for the deployment
terraform plan

# execute the plan and create the required resources in Azure
terraform apply
# input: yes

If the deployment was successful, terraform apply will output the IP address of the server:

Apply complete! Resources: 2 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
Outputs:
ip_address = "20.113.8.157"

To clean up the deployment and remove all created resources:

terraform destroy
# input: yes

Development

Building

In order to build the Docker image, run this code:

docker build -t paschi/cs16 .

Publishing

To publish the Docker image to a repository, perform these steps:

docker image tag paschi/cs16 registry-host:5000/myuser/cs16:latest

This will tag the the previously built image as myuser/cs16:latest and push it to the registry at registry-host:5000.
