Ansible Role: Day of Defeat: Source

An Ansible role that installs and configures a Day of Defeat: Source dedicated server.

The game server is downloaded thought Steam and exposed as a systemd service for easier management. Using this role it is possible to publish a minimalist server with custom maps.

Automatic testing is provided using molecule's delegated driver and https://builds.sr.ht.

Requirements

An ansible role dedicated to the installation of SteamCMD such as ansible-steamcmd. This role should provide the steam_home variable, pointing to such a folder as /home/steam/Steam or /home/steam/.steam depending on your operating system.

There is no default value.

`dod_source_server_cfg`

The server.cfg file is the main configuration file for the server. It holds the server name, the administrator password as well as various rules.

There is no default value.

Example:

hostname "My Day of Defeat Server"

`dod_source_extra_mapcycles`

A list of hashes containing two keys: name and content. The first will be used as a prefix to form a new mapcycle file named mapcycle_{{ name }}.txt and containing {{ content }}.

dod_source_extra_mapcycles:
  - name: officials
    content: |
      dod_anzio
      dod_argentan

These files can later be used with rcon, using the mapcyclefile CVAR.
