AlienSwarm

Overview

This Docker will download and install SteamCMD. It will also install Alien Swarm and run it. (!!!This container will only run on systems with less than 32 CPU cores!!!) Install Note: You must provide a valid Steam username and password with Steam Guard disabled (the user dosen't have to have the game in the library). ATTENTION: First Startup can take very long since it downloads the gameserver files! Update Notice: Simply restart the container if a newer version of the game is available. You can also run multiple servers with only one SteamCMD directory!
