added lite version, because it's become so beefy

This repository contains a docker image with a dedicated server for Insurgency Sandstorm that you can fully customize to your need for COOP and PVP servers.

This image will be built any time there are updates to the steam app or upstream docker image, so you don’t have to update anything inside a container. I tried to build the image as “best-practice” as possible and to document everything for you.

cd directory where Dockerfile docker build -t andrewmhub/insurgency-sandstorm:latest . or get it on docker hub docker pull andrewmhub/insurgency-sandstorm

Running multiple instances (use PORT, QUERYPORT and HOSTNAME) and LAUNCH_SERVER_ENV in modmap.env:

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --env-file /home/user/coop-modmap/modmap.env \
--name sandstorm-modmap --net=host \
-v /home/user/coop-modmap/Mods:/home/steam/steamcmd/sandstorm/Insurgency/Mods:rw \
-v /home/user/coop-modmap/config/ini:/home/steam/steamcmd/sandstorm/Insurgency/Saved/Config/LinuxServer:ro \
-v /home/user/coop-modmap/config/txt:/home/steam/steamcmd/sandstorm/Insurgency/Config/Server:ro andrewmhub/insurgency-sandstorm:latest

All game data will be stored on disk

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --env-file /home/user/coop-modmap/modmap.env \
--name sandstorm-modmap --net=host \
-v /home/user/my_dir:/home/steam/steamcmd/sandstorm:rw \
 andrewmhub/insurgency-sandstorm:lite

Examples config files in directory config

Optional launch options:

-NoEAC have problem with EAC just disables it

-nominidumps some crash dump handler that uploads crash information to insurgency devs servers this option disables it

Autoupdate game server. This script will keep your game servers automaticly updated updating intervals announce the server is shutting down for updates

Requirements: rcon-cli

wget https://github.com/gorcon/rcon-cli/releases/download/v0.10.1/rcon-0.10.1-amd64_linux.tar.gz
tar -xvzf rcon-0.10.1-amd64_linux.tar.gz
cp rcon-0.10.1-amd64_linux/rcon /usr/local/bin/

Get restart script example

wget --no-check-certificate -O /opt/restart-ins.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndrewMarchukov/insurgency-sandstorm-server-dockerize/master/AutoUpdater/restart-ins.sh
chmod +x /opt/restart-ins.sh

The next script make version comparison if game server version changed in steam or ISMC mod version you insurgency sandstorm server will automatically restarted and get update

wget --no-check-certificate -O /opt/check-manifest.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndrewMarchukov/insurgency-sandstorm-server-dockerize/master/AutoUpdater/check-manifest.sh
chmod +x /opt/check-manifest.sh

Get systemd unit daemon

wget --no-check-certificate -O /etc/systemd/system/my-server-check.service https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndrewMarchukov/insurgency-sandstorm-server-dockerize/master/AutoUpdater/my-server-check.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable my-server-check.service
systemctl start my-server-check.service

if you launch multiple servers on same host you can save some memory, on 2 game servers more than 1gb memory saved.

Make sure that parameter set on 1 after host reboot

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run

and add launch options -useksm -ksmmergeall then restart servers

wait some amount of time and check statistics grep -H '' /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/*

pages_shared - how many shared pages are being used

pages_sharing - how many more sites are sharing them i.e. how much saved

pages_unshared - how many pages unique but repeatedly checked for merging

pages_sharing*4096/1024/1024=how much memory saved

So, in your example, 264281 pages have been found to be shareable. KSM saved you about 1032 MB of memory.
