What's the process for kicking off multiple cs2-dedi containers?

Is it possible to kickoff another container 'under' cs2-docker using the same image and persistent data volume I already have setup? I would like one container running wingman and one container running competitive.

Can I just have a duplicate .yml file in the cs2-docker directory? And change the following lines of code?

container_name: cs2-dedicated-wingman --> cs2-dedicated-competitive environment:

SRCDS_TOKEN old-token --> new-token
CS2_SERVERNAME old-name --> new-name
CS2_PORT 27015 --> 27016??
TV_PORT 27020 --> 27021??

ports:

"27015:27015/tcp" --> "27016:27016/tcp"
"27015:27015/udp" --> "27016:27016/udp"
"27020:27020/udp" --> "27021:27021/udp"

If it matters, I am using a persistent data volume as well: volumes:

/home/zahti/cs2data:/home/steam/cs2-dedicated # Persistent data volume mount point inside container

For example, current setup that I was hoping would work:

Or do I need to duplicate my "cs2-docker" folder with a different name? (Keeping the docker-compose.yml file the same name.) ~/cs2-docker-wingman/docker-compose.yml ~/cs2-docker-competitive/docker-compose.yml

I have tried this method with no luck. Cannot even get the 2nd server available for LAN connections. Maybe it has to do with pointing to the same persistent data mount?

The only server I ever see in the server browser is the 'wingman' 27015 server. The 27016 one refuses connections / isn't setup correctly. What's weird is that there aren't any strange messages in the server log/shell.

Any ideas? I have a LAN party on the 20th that I am trying to prep for :100:

Hi @zahti,

You can take either approach. The most important things to get right are:

Ensure each container has a different SRCDS Token
Ensure each container is using a different persistent volume
Ensure the host side of the host:container port mapping is different. The port numbers within the container are isolated and can be reused on the same host.

Thank you for the details and explanation. I believe my issue was due to these 2 points, I was violating both of these!

Ensure each container is using a different persistent volume
Ensure the host side of the host:container port mapping is different. The port numbers within the container are isolated and can be reused on the same host.

I have one additional question regarding the syntax of your persistent volume:

volumes:
      - cs2-1:/home/steam/cs2-dedicated/  # Persistent data volume mount point inside container

Why do you put the cs2-1 string? Are you just giving an example of where to replace with a directory? Or does the cs2-1 actually stay in the code when running docker compose?

Here is how my .yml file looks for one of the persistent mount locations:

volumes:
      - /home/zahti/cs2data:/home/steam/cs2-dedicated  # Persistent data volume mount point inside container

And then the folder is here - this seems to be working well (for running a single server at once):

I am asking this question because I am trying to figure out if I should just make another folder (e.g., /home/zahti/cs2data-2) for cs2-server-2?

I also see at the end of the .yml you have these lines, what should I do here?

volumes:
  cs2-1:
  cs2-2:

If it's useful, here is my docker-compose.yml file for 2 servers at once, following your advice. However, I would like to understand the purpose of the syntax of your persistent volume mount vs. how I implemented it. As you can see, I didn't change the last 2 lines... is that okay?

Another question, do I need to change CS2_PORT and TV_PORT in the cs2-server-2 service? I am only seeing the first server available on LAN after it says both of them are running:

Hi,

Here's the documentation for Volumes in Docker Compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/07-volumes/

The way I am declaring volumes (cs2-1, cs2-2) is basically telling Docker that I want two volumes with the specified names/labels, and docker will decide where to create them based on the system config.

For example, on Ubuntu:

/var/lib/docker/volumes/cs2-1/_data

So I declare that I want two volumes and then I map each volume into the containers.

If you are declaring the volume paths explicitly then you can omit the volumes block at the bottom.

Thank you, that makes sense!

You don't need to change CS2_PORT or TV_PORT as these control the ports the cs2 server binds to inside the container.

As mentioned before, the same ports can be used inside the container without collisions, you just need to make sure that host ports are not colliding.

If this is for a LAN party, I also recommend you set CS2_SERVER_HIBERNATE=0 to disable hibernation.

There is a cs2 server bug (nothing to do with the container) where the server sometimes crashes when waking from hibernation.

Thanks. I believe I am doing everything correctly but I am not able to get this to work. I just tried switching over to native docker (not desktop client) to see if that was impacting - same results though.

Okay now the extra weird part. Both servers actually do look like they are running. Which makes sense since I am not seeing any issues in the logs. Are the ports conflicting somehow?

I am able to connect to the 2 servers with manual console commands: connect 192.168.68.65:27015

connect 192.168.68.65:27115

This is expected. What you are seeing in the server logs is the inside port binding. Remember there is this mapping going on between the outside host port and the inside container port

Is there a way to get them both to show up on the LAN tab in the server browser?

I'm not sure how the LAN discovery works in CS2.

I think you will find that you can connect to both servers from the client if you issue the connect command from the CS2 developer console.

connect $ip:$port; password $password

For example

connect 10.0.0.30:27015; password changeme

I'm not sure how the LAN discovery works in CS2.

I think you will find that you can connect to both servers from the client if you issue the connect command from the CS2 developer console.

connect $ip:$port; password $password

For example

connect 10.0.0.30:27015; password changeme

Exactly! This is how I connected yesterday - thanks for the info though. I will keep playing around with the LAN discovery.

Note: If I have Online accesiblity enabled, I can actually see both servers independently in the Online tab of the server browser. However, the LAN tab only shows the first one (27015). Quite strange, but just wanted to mention it.

Also, I am noticing backwards functionality of the CS2_LAN variable to what I would expect. I'll double check this later with some examples and post a new issue for that if it turns out to be correct.

@joedwards32 just curious, there is no way to re-use downloaded game client between instances? So, each game instance must have own 40gb client in its own volume?

They could possibly share a volume, but I haven't ever tested that.

Something like overlayfs could potentially be used to layer a writeable layer per container on top of a base layer containing a snapshot of the game.

Is there a way to get them both to show up on the LAN tab in the server browser?

Hi, I haven't tested it myself, but back in Counter-Strike: Source, only a few ports next to 27015 get scanned automatically.

On the cs2-2 port mapping, try:

  cs2-server-2:
...
    ports:
      - "27016:27015/tcp"           # TCP - NOTE: Host side of the port mapping has changed to avoid port collisions
      - "27016:27015/udp"           # UDP - NOTE: Host side of the port mapping has changed to avoid port collisions
      - "27021:27020/udp"           # UDP - NOTE: Host side of the port mapping has changed to avoid port collisions

Is there a way to get them both to show up on the LAN tab in the server browser?

Set the CS2_PORT per server instance, that's what the game server advertises to the steam master server. Right now it treats both of your instances as the same server (ip + game port are equal). Source: ISteamGameServer
