Counter Strike 2 Dedicated Server with Default Workshop Maps Support

This repository hosts a Counter Strike 2 dedicated server setup, leveraging a Dockerfile from joedwards32/CS2. This Dockerfile is referenced in Valve's development documentation (Counter-Strike 2 Dedicated Servers), providing reliability.

Purpose

Primarily designed for quick LAN party setups, this repository showcases examples of Workshop maps. Note that for internet usage, it's recommended to implement VPN tunneling for security. Directly opening ports on your router, using docker-compose, and disabling firewalls could pose significant security risks. For advanced settings like setting up an API Steam key or server passwords, these are available but haven't been extensively tested.

How to Run

1. Prerequisites: Install Docker and docker-compose on your machine or within your networked computer. Ensure that ports (default: 27015 TCP/UDP) are open on your server firewall. For instance, I used a Lenovo mini PC with Ubuntu Server and UFW disabled.

2. Setup: Clone or download this repository and navigate to the folder. Run docker-compose up -d (if unsuccessful, prepend with sudo).

3. Installation Confirmation: Confirm the CS2 server installation by executing docker ps | grep cs2. Retrieve the container's ID and check the installation logs via docker logs <container_id> (e.g., docker logs 2e29d2f5bbc2). Use sudo if required. Installation on a 150 Mbps connection typically takes around an hour.

4. Connecting to Server: Open the CS2 client, access the console (enable it manually in settings), and enter connect <your-server-ip>. For example, on a local machine, it might be connect 127.0.0.1, while on another PC in the same network, it could be connect 192.168.0.149. Optionally, specify a port different from the default one via connect <server-ip>:<server-port>.

Maps

The repository includes two default maps:

• Workshop Map 1
• Workshop Map 2

To incorporate the new map:

1. Subscribe & Download: Subscribe to the new map in your Steam client's workshop.

2. Locate Downloaded Map: After the download is complete, find the map in Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/730 (the folder name corresponds to the ID parameter in the URL).

3. Add to Repository: Copy the newly downloaded folder to the bin/maps directory within this project.

4. Update Configuration: Modify the MAP value in docker-compose.yml to match the ID of the new map (same as the folder name and ID parameter in the URL). For example, using the ID 3104635007 in the docker-compose.yml file will integrate the newly added map into your server setup alongside the existing maps.

Configs

For altering the default config:

• Add another .cfg file to the configs folder.
• Update the CFG value in docker-compose.yml to the newly added file.
• To retain the default game config, comment lines 17 and 19 in the Dockerfile (which truncates server.cfg and adds a new one).

To adjust default settings:

• Modify CS2_GAMEALIAS (or CS_GAMETYPE and CS_GAMEMODE) at line 47 in the Dockerfile.

Running Multiple Servers & Updating Changes

To add the newly included map or update configurations:

• Duplicate the cs2m1 structure to create another server setup named cs2m3.

• Customize settings like PORT, NAME, and others as needed, including adjusting MAX_PLAYERS.

To apply changes:

• After modifying the docker-compose.yml file, running docker-compose up -d will update the container to reflect alterations.

• For modifications in the Dockerfile, execute docker-compose build cs2m3, followed by docker-compose up -d to implement the changes specific to cs2m3.

Enjoy the gaming experience with the updated server configurations!
