Launch a minimal & lightweight containarized Call of Duty 2 multiplayer game server, including libcod.

This repository use a multi-build setup to provide images for all server binaries located in the /bin folder. All image tags can be found on the Docker Hub registry.

The following convention is applied:

• bgauduch/cod2server:latest - Dockerfile
  • uses latest available cracked server binary and libcod library, build from master branch.
• bgauduch/cod2server:3.0 - Dockerfile - equivalent to latest on release tag.
• bgauduch/cod2server:X_Y_zzzzzz
  • X_Y is the server binary and libcod library version in [1_0, 1_2, 1_3];
  • zzzzzz is the server binary declination. Report to the readme in the /bin folder for explanations.

Please report to the releases section for the changelogs. Any other image tag is not supported.

• The cod2_lnxded server binary from Killtube by Kung Foo Man, Mitch and anyone that contributed;
• The custom libcod from Voron00, follow the repository forks for a complete list of creators and contributors.

Full credits goes to them for their awesome work !

• The orginal game, as it's content is used by the dedicated server;
• A host machine of your choice with x86_64 architecture;
• Docker and Docker Compose installed and configured on your host machine. Minimal knowledge in using both is recommended.

1. Clone or download this repository on your host machine;
2. Copy required data from the main folder of your original game (install directory or retail DVD) to the server:
   1. Copy all the iw_XX.iwd from 00 to 15 to the cod2server/main folder;
   2. Copy all the localizations localized_english_iwXX.iwd to the cod2server/main (it might be another language).
3. Edit the config file located in cod2server/main/server_mp.cfg to suits your needs:
   1. [MANDATORY] Set the RCON password to something strong and private!
   2. Tweak the rest as you see fit, don't forget to updated the placeholders (server name, admin, etc).
4. [Optional] If you need Punkbuster:
5. Activate it by changing sv_punkbuster from 0 to 1 in the command arguments of the docker-compose.yamlfile;
6. Edit the cod2server/main/punkbuster.cfg configuration to suits your needs.
7. [Optional] Edit the bgauduch/cod2server image tag in docker-compose.yaml to choose a different server version;
8. Depending on your setup, you might have some port-forwarding and firewalling to do in order to make your server publicly available (see required open ports in the EXPOSE section of the Dockerfile).

From the project root:

docker-compose up -d

From the project root, you can:

• Restart the server (to pick up config change for instance):

  docker-compose restart

• Tail the server logs:

  # cod2_server refer to the name of the service in the compose file
  docker-compose logs -f cod2_server

• Attach a shell to the server to run commands, see available commands in /doc/readme.md:

  docker container attach call-of-duty-2-docker-server_cod2_server_1
  # exemple commands
  status
  map_rotate
  # Use the escape sequence to detach: `CTRL+P`, `CTRL+Q`

• Completely stop the server:

  docker-compose down

If you wish to contribute to and improve this project, you can do so by cloning it and then follow theses guidelines :

./scripts/dev-up.sh

Note that you will need the game files in the main folder, as specified in the "Requirements" section.

./scripts/dev-logs.sh

Attach a shell to the running server process to run a command, see available commands in /doc/readme.md:

./scripts/dev-attach.sh
# Exemple commands
status
map_rotate
# Use the escape sequence to detach: `CTRL+P`, `CTRL+Q`

You can debug directly inside the server container (show file structure, tail logs, etc):

./scripts/dev-exec.sh

Remove everything once your tests are over:

./scripts/dev-down.sh

• This setup was tested on an ubuntu server 18.04.3 LTS x86_64 and should work on any platform with the same architecture.
• Threads on setting up a cod2 server are availables on Killtube:
  • on ubuntu 14.04 by IzNoGoD
  • using Docker by Lonsofore
• There is a similar repository on github proposing a Call of Duty 2 server based on CentOS: hberntsen/docker-cod2
• Original and cracked server binaries can be found in the bin folder, have a look at the readme
• If you need to use iptables in conjonction with Docker, please follow the official documentation tips
