Probably the fastest and easiest way to set up an old-school Half-Life Deathmatch Dedicated Server (HLDS).
Both Steam and noSteam, old and new half-life clients can connect and play together!
You don't need to know anything about Linux or HLDS to start a server. You just need Docker and this image.

Quick Start

Build the image hlds:

docker build -t hlds .

Run your image

docker run -it --rm -d --name hlds -p27015:27015 -p27015:27015/udp

You can add extra parameters when starting the image

docker run -it --rm  --name hlds -p27015:27015 -p27015:27015/udp hlds +map crossfire +maxplayers 16 +password 1 +vs_password "password"

Note: Any server config command can be passed by using + after the docker command options.
