Half-Life Unified Game Server

A production-ready, containerized game server solution supporting Counter-Strike 1.6, Half-Life, and Sven Co-op.

This project provides pre-built, optimized images powered by the ReHLDS stack (for CS/HL) and official SvenDS.

🚀 Quick Start (For Users)

You do not need to build anything. The easiest way to run a server is using the provided Compose files, which pull the latest stable images from the GitHub Container Registry.

1. Counter-Strike 1.6

docker compose -f docker-compose.cstrike.yml up -d

2. Half-Life

docker compose -f docker-compose.halflife.yml up -d

3. Sven Co-op

docker compose -f docker-compose.svencoop.yml up -d

The server will start and listen on port 27015 (UDP/TCP).

⚙️ Configuration

Customizing Server Files

You don't need to rebuild the image to add maps, plugins, or change configurations. Simply place your files in the local directory mapped to the container.

Each Compose file maps a local folder to /opt/steam/custom inside the container. On startup, these files are copied over the default game files.

Game	Local Folder	Target in Container
CS 1.6	./cstrike/	cstrike/
Half-Life	./valve/	valve/
Sven Co-op	./svencoop/	svencoop/

Example: To add a new map to CS 1.6, put the .bsp file in cstrike/maps/ on your host machine and restart the container.

Server Configs

• server.cfg: Edit the server.cfg in your local game folder (e.g., cstrike/server.cfg).
• Mapcycle: Edit mapcycle.txt in your local game folder.

🛠️ Development (Building from Source)

If you are a developer and want to modify the server binaries, install scripts, or Dockerfile logic, you can build the images locally.

# Build and run CS 1.6
docker compose -f docker-compose.cstrike.yml up -d --build

# Build and run Half-Life
docker compose -f docker-compose.halflife.yml up -d --build

# Build and run Sven Co-op
docker compose -f docker-compose.svencoop.yml up -d --build
