Hi all. Couple of days ago I sat down and put together a Docker image for hosting tf2 servers. It has sourcemod, metamod, mge, soap, and RGL plugins / maps. ETF2L support would be nice (pull request maybe?)
A lot of people pay for dedicated servers where they set up everything for you using actual money. However big digital VPS providers like Amazon Web Services or DigitalOcean give out their credits like candy.
The github repo is: https://github.com/joshdabosh/tf2-docker-comp
The Docker Hub page is: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/joshdabosh/tf2-docker-comp
Instructions for setup are in the readme.
The hope is that people who aren't as experienced with Linux or want minimal contact with tf2 server administration can spin up a VPS, edit firewall, install docker / docker-compose, and be on their way for server hosting.
I find tf2 servers need at least 4 gigs ram, not sure about # of cpus as I've always used 2 vcpus. Runs fine on a t2.medium from aws ec2.

You don't even need that much ram, I've ran small servers with only 1 gig ram, and some larger servers with only 2 gigs. DigitalOcean especially has great tooling for it, allowing you to create a droplet with Docker(compose) preinstalled and you'd just have to run your command. Most you would pay is $10 for a 6s server, any more you're wasting money.
I suggest those who don't understand servers to run docker, especially on cloud, since it is much cheaper. It however comes with huge disadvantage to not having the same tools (like rcon control) as opposed to an actual provider (NFO, tragic). Also, you will not have persistant storage for STVs, ability to easily add your own plugins, or easily extend configurations without previous docker exposure. However, if you're a server owner looking for just a server, nothing else, this would be your best option.

Nice! Glad to know other people have done it before. Not gonna complain about a docker refresher though.

Haha, didn't know about this lol. Googling gave me links to images that didn't have sourcemod / the other plugins.

I ran a small 6s server with 1 gig and crashed it a lot bc out of memory, so I said screw it and went with 4 as my credits were going to expire anyway. Didn't try 2, guess that's a better line.

2 is the best, 4 for mvm I think.
1 is risky, but for 1v1 I think its more than enough (private mge servers). I did almost run a successful pug with it however.
For the rcon issue, I may have some tools for server owners who need to manage many servers at once!

Remember to start the containers with the virtual tty attached. (It's the -t param in the docker run command.) srcds will hang if it can't find any (proper?) tty. I found it the hard way :)

fastbinETF2L support would be nice (pull request maybe?)
i'm here from ETF2L and i'm sure if you make a layer with sourcemod, you can make another with tf2-comp-fixes and our configs
https://etf2l.org/rules/configs/
that should be enough i guess
