What is Squad?

Squad

How to use this image

Hosting a simple game server

Running on the host interface (recommended):

$ docker run -d --net=host -v /home/steam/squad-dedicated/ --name=squad-dedicated cm2network/squad

Running using a bind mount for data persistence on container recreation:

$ mkdir -p $(pwd)/squad-data
$ chmod 777 $(pwd)/squad-data # Makes sure the directory is writeable by the unprivileged container user
$ docker run -d --net=host -v $(pwd)/squad-data:/home/steam/squad-dedicated/ --name=squad-dedicated cm2network/squad

Running multiple instances (iterate PORT, QUERYPORT and RCONPORT):

$ docker run -d --net=host -v /home/steam/squad-dedicated/ -e PORT=7788 -e QUERYPORT=27166 -e RCONPORT=21115 --name=squad-dedicated2 cm2network/squad

It's also recommended using "--cpuset-cpus=" to limit the game server to a specific core & thread.
The container will automatically update the game on startup, so if there is a game update just restart the container.

docker-compose.yml example

version: '3.9'

services:
  squad:
    image: cm2network/squad
    container_name: squad
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: "host"
    volumes:
      - /storage/squad/:/home/steam/squad-dedicated/
    environment:
      - PORT=7787
      - QUERYPORT=27165
      - RCONPORT=21114
      - FIXEDMAXPLAYERS=100

Configuration

Environment Variables

Feel free to overwrite these environment variables, using -e (--env):

PORT=7787
QUERYPORT=27165
RCONPORT=21114
FIXEDMAXPLAYERS=80
FIXEDMAXTICKRATE=50
RANDOM=NONE
MODS="()"

Config

The config files can be edited using this command:

$ docker exec -it squad-dedicated nano /home/steam/squad-dedicated/SquadGame/ServerConfig/Server.cfg

If you want to learn more about configuring a Squad server check this documentation.

Mods

Add each id to the MODS environment variable, for example MODS="(13371337 12341234 1111111)"

MODS must be a bash array (mod1id mod2id mod3id) where each mod id is separated by a space and inclosed in brackets

You can get the mod id from the workshop url or by installing it locally and lookup the numeric folder name at <root_steam_folder>/steamapps/workshop/content/393380.
