# HLDS Docker - Crossfire 24/7
|
|
|
|
## Half-Life Dedicated Server as a Docker image
|
|
|
|
Probably the fastest and easiest way to set up an old-school Half-Life
|
|
Deathmatch Dedicated Server (HLDS) running Crossfire map 24/7 with 15-minute rounds.
|
|
|
|
You don't need to know anything about Linux or HLDS to start a server. You just need Docker and this image.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
✅ **Included:**
|
|
- 15-minute rounds with automatic map cycling
|
|
- Crossfire map only
|
|
- Customizable server settings via `.env`
|
|
- Auto-restart on crash
|
|
- **MetaMod + AMX Mod X 1.9 installed**
|
|
- Built-in `timeleft` command (type in chat to see remaining time)
|
|
- Admin commands ready
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
#### Docker Hub Image (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
The latest image of this repo is available in docker hub [josejsalinas/hl-server](https://hub.docker.com/r/josejsalinas/hl-server)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -d --name hl-server \
|
|
-p 27015:27015 \
|
|
-p 27015:27015/udp \
|
|
-e SERVER_NAME="My Crossfire Server" \
|
|
-e MAX_PLAYERS=16 \
|
|
-e RCON_PASSWORD=changeme \
|
|
josejsalinas/hl-server:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use docker compose with the hub image by creating a `docker-compose.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
services:
|
|
halflife:
|
|
image: hl-server:latest
|
|
container_name: halflife-server
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "27015:27015/tcp"
|
|
- "27015:27015/udp"
|
|
environment:
|
|
- SERVER_NAME=${SERVER_NAME:-Half-Life Crossfire Server}
|
|
- MAX_PLAYERS=${MAX_PLAYERS:-16}
|
|
- SERVER_PASSWORD=${SERVER_PASSWORD:-}
|
|
- RCON_PASSWORD=${RCON_PASSWORD:-changeme}
|
|
- WELCOME_MESSAGE=${WELCOME_MESSAGE:-Welcome to Crossfire!}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Build Locally
|
|
|
|
Build the image yourself:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run your server:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it! Your server is now running on port 27015.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Edit the `.env` file to customize your server:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
nano .env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|----------|-------------|---------|
|
|
| `SERVER_NAME` | Server name shown in server browser | Half-Life Crossfire Server |
|
|
| `MAX_PLAYERS` | Maximum number of players | 16 |
|
|
| `SERVER_PASSWORD` | Password to join server (leave empty for public) | (empty) |
|
|
| `RCON_PASSWORD` | RCON admin password | changeme |
|
|
| `WELCOME_MESSAGE` | Message shown when players join | Welcome to Crossfire! Fight until the last player stands! |
|
