Crossfire Server Docker Images

• Crossfire Server Docker image in Docker Hub.

Prerequisites

Docker is required. See the official installation documentation.

Set up the volumes

Before setting everything else, configure a new environment variable $CF_HOME pointing to the directory where the configuration, game files, logs, and data files will reside. Ensure that the directory exists and appropriate permission have been granted.

For Linux users, set the path to /opt/gitlab:

export CF_HOME=/opt/crossfire

For macOS users, use the user’s $HOME/gitlab directory:

export CF_HOME=$HOME/gitlab

For window users, use XXXX:

For Linux and macOS platforms set the hostname:

export CF_HOSTNAME=crossfire.metalforge.net

For windows set the hostname:

The Crossfire Server container uses host mounted volumes to store persistent data:

Local location	Container location	Usage
$CF_HOME/gamefiles	/var/games/crossfire	For storing game files.
$CF_HOME/logfiles	/var/log/crossfire	For storing log files.

Installation

Install Crossfire Server using Docker Engine

You can fine tune these directories to meet your requirements. Once you’ve set up the CF_HOME variable, you can run the image:

docker run --detach \
  --hostname $CF_HOSTNAME \
  --publish 13327:13327 \
  --name crossfire-server \
  --restart always \
  --volume $CF_HOME/gamefiles:/var/games/crossfire \
  --volume $CF_HOME/logfiles:/var/log/crossfire \
  --shm-size 256m \
   basictheprogram/crossfire-server:latest

This will download and start a Crossfire Server container and publish ports needed to access TCP 13327. All Crossfire Server data will be stored as subdirectories of $CF_HOME. The container will automatically restart after a system reboot.
