Running steam-gmod

Please note that you probably want to add a workshop collection, which can be generated in steam. It is a good idea to put mods like Wiremod, Ulib, ULX etc. there, and extend with some maps and custom props.

docker run -d \
 --name gmod-1 \
 -p 27015:27015/udp \
 -p 27015:27015 \
 -v /data/steam-games/:/home/steam/games/ \
 -v /data/gmod/maps/:/home/steam/games/garrysmod/garrysmod/maps/ \
 -v /data/gmod/server.cfg:/home/steam/games/garrysmod/garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg \
 -v /data/gmod/motd.txt:/home/steam/games/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/ulx/ulx_motd.txt \
 -v /data/gmod/bans.cfg:/home/steam/games/garrysmod/garrysmod/cfg/banned_user.cfg \
 -v /data/gmod/addons/tttdamagelogs:/home/steam/games/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/tttdamagelogs/ \

If you want to start up a Sandbox, you can do that too:

docker run -d \

 -p 27015:27015/udp \
 -p 27015:27015 \
 -v /data/steam-games/:/home/steam/games/ \

 -v /data/gmod/bans.cfg:/home/steam/games/garrysmod/garrysmod/cfg/banned_user.cfg \
 -v /data/gmod/data/:/home/steam/games/garrysmod/garrysmod/data/ \
