War Table

The War Table module works in conjunction with the Orchestrator to provide the relevant tools for the game containers.

This project handles the tools that are shared between game containers.

Projects

Contained Steam (steamcmd) are scripts to automate/update steamcmd and the game server files (within a steamcmd-based docker container), as part of the PEON automation services.

Steamed Wine (steamcmd+winhq) is a custom container to facilitate game servers that are only built for Windows OS, within the PEON tool suite.

Modes

Modes are just unique names that help the recipe inform the server which mechanism must be followed with the automation of services. Hopefully, this will stay a short-list

Mode Release Notes Container Tag
steamcmd Contained Steam umlatt/steamcmd
steamwine Steamed Wine umlatt/steamcmd-winehq
steamproton Steamed Proton umlatt/steamcmd-proton

Design Objectives

  1. Only scripts/code are to be stored here. Large file pulls should be done from other sources.
  2. Attempt to keep the code pool as generic as possible to maximize code reuse/supportability.
  3. If something already exists and is open source, do not rewrite it needlessly.
