What is Mordhau?

Mordhau is a multiplayer medieval first-person fighting game with a strong emphasis on skill-based competitive play and customization. It features a deep and fluid combat system that allows those that master it to turn into an unstoppable force on the battlefield.

NOTE: This is only the server. You still have to buy the game. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/629760/)

Quick Start

Before running create the necessary folder structure. For this example the data is stored in /opt/mordhau.

mkdir -p /home/steam/mordhau /home/steam/steamcmd
chown -R 99:100 /home/steam

The chown command is needed because we don't run the game server as root for security reasons, but rather as a 'steam' user with user id 99:100(by default).

Docker Compose

There is an example of a docker-compose provided(with 3 servers by default). You can download and edit that to your hearts pleasure. This is really useful for running multiple servers at once.(docker-compose)

All you need to do is edit it and:

docker-compose up -d

List of variables you can edit.

STEAM_CONNECT=True(disable this for every subsequent container you make, so they don't all try to download the game)
PLAYER_COUNT=16
SERVER_NAME=Server
QUERYPORT=27015
GAME_PORT=7777
BEACONPORT=15000
UID=99
GID=100
STEAMID64=
ADMIN_PASSWORD="not recommended just use SteamID"
SERVER_PASSWORD=
GAME_MODE=FL,HRD,TDM,DM,SKM choose one
SERVER="unique identifier"

Docker Run

For those new to Docker, here is an explanation of the options:

• -d - Run as a daemon ("detached").
• -p - Expose ports. The left side is what the world sees.
• -v - Mount /home/steam/mordhau on the local file system to /serverdata/mordhau in the container. This allows you to see game
• --restart - Restart the server if it crashes and at system start unless you have stopped it
• --name - Name the container "mordhau" (otherwise it has a funny random name).
• -e - Change the ENV to something else. -e VALIDATE=false will make stop steam from validating game files.

Run the server :

docker run -d \
 -p 27015:27015/udp \
 -p 7777:7777/udp \
 -p 15000:15000/udp \
 -e QUERYPORT=27015 \
 -e GAME_PORT=7777 \
 -e BEACONPORT=15000 \
 -e STEAMID64="" \
 -e PLAYER_COUNT="16" \
 -e SERVER_NAME="PLZ CHANGE" \
 -e SERVER_PASSWORD="" \
 -e ADMIN_PASSWORD="" \
 --restart=unless-stopped \
 -v /home/steam/mordhau:/serverdata/mordhau \
 -v /home/steam/steamcmd:/serverdata/steamcmd \
 --name mordhau tetricz/mordhau-server

Check the logs to see what happened:
