TF2 GameServer Setup
In this tutorial we're going to look at how to install a tf2 server on a ubuntu 16.04 host.
In this tutorial we're going to look at how to install a tf2 server on a ubuntu 16.04 host.

Now that srcds is installed, we can start configuring our server, Basically first i want the server to run a few game commands as it boots up, to do that i can either pass those commands as arguements to the srcds_run binary like so:
./srcds_run -game tf +map ctf_2fort +maxplayers 24
If you have that steamclient.so error do the following:
root@tf2local:~# ls
Steam linux32 linux64 package public siteserverui steamcmd.sh tf2
root@tf2local:~# cd tf2/
root@tf2local:~/tf2# ls

That's how i fixed the steamclient.so error. Now instead of running the srcds binary ourselves, we can can just specify those commands in the tf/cfg/server.cfg file, if you don't know what to put in here you can just use cfg.tf:

From here we know that the server is running, and we can check it ingame:
Now that's done, we verified that we could run the srcds binary like this, however we could have a more refined approach and actually make a systemd service to run this as the debian LXC container starts.

And that's it! We managed to setup a simple local tf2 server.
if you want to run console comamnds that require privileges to do so on your local server, you need to use rcon, and since we specified the password earlier, we do the following:
Obviously don't give the rcon password to anyone you don't trust. Now if you want some plugins you can install sourcemod and metamod:

Now that's done we have our addons folder, we will need to configure admins_simple.ini
root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf# cd addons/sourcemod/configs/
root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf/addons/sourcemod/configs# ls
admin_groups.cfg admin_overrides.cfg adminmenu_custom.txt adminmenu_sorting.txt admins_simple.ini core.cfg geoip maplists.cfg

root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf/addons/sourcemod/configs# vim admins_simple.ini
Basically in here we add our SteamID with the "99:z" permissions
root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf/addons/sourcemod/configs# tail -n 3 admins_simple.ini
"STEAM_0:0:576829438" "99:z"
And with this we can restart our tf2 server:
root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf/addons/sourcemod/configs# systemctl restart tf2server
Now when we connect back to the server we can type !sm_admin in chat to use the sourcemod admin commands pannel:
If you need to make any custom scripts, for example making players and bots spawn with extra health, you can use the scripting directory in sourcemod:
root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf/addons/sourcemod# cd scripting/
root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf/addons/sourcemod/scripting# ls -l

Now before we move on we need to compile that .sp file:

Now that we moved the compiled plugin into the plugins directory, we restart the server to reload the configs:
root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf/addons/sourcemod/scripting# cd ..
root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf/addons/sourcemod# systemctl restart tf2server
We restart the server to reload the configs, and we can verify it is working by executing the sm_maxhealth x command, if you use it ingame you need to use rcon sm_maxhealth x:
likewise, we can also just put it in the server.cfg file or just pass it as arguements when we run the srcds_run binary.

root@tf2local:~/tf2/tf/cfg# systemctl restart tf2server
And that's how i setup my own personal TF2 training server!
With further testing, i realised that setting up tf2 servers is dependant on old 32 bit librairies, and you can face any number of problems (most notably the segmentation fault core dumped crashes that will never tell you the source of the issue, even with the -debug flag). So instead let's set it up using docker:
root@docker0:/home# mkdir -p /home/tf2/server/tf/maps/
root@docker0:/home# tree .
.
├── nothing
└── tf2
└── server
└── tf
└── maps
└── altar.bsp
root@docker0:~# cd ~ ;
root@docker0:~# docker pull cm2network/tf2:latest
root@docker0:~# docker pull cm2network/tf2:sourcemod
root@docker0:~# mkdir tf2
root@docker0:~/tf2# vim docker-compose.yml
root@docker0:~/tf2# cat docker-compose.yml
version: "3"
services:
tf2:

environment:

- SRCDS_TICKRATE=66
- SRCDS_MAXPLAYERS=14
- SRCDS_HOSTNAME=void.yt
- SRCDS_TOKEN="void.yt"
- SRCDS_STARTMAP="altar"
volumes:

- ./logs:/home/steam/Steam/logs
ports:

root@docker0:~/tf2# mkdir data
root@docker0:~/tf2# mkdir logs
root@docker0:~/tf2# chmod 777 data/
root@docker0:~/tf2# chmod 777 logs/
root@docker0:~/tf2# docker-compose up
#let it finish then CTRL+C
#move altar.bsp in ~/tf2/data/tf/maps
root@docker0:~/tf2/data/tf/maps# ls -lash altar.bsp
172K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 169K Oct 30 16:12 altar.bsp
#append the sourcemodded commands you want to server.cfg :

Then compile the maxhealth mod in the container:
root@docker0:~# docker exec -it tf2 bash
steam@docker0:~/tf-dedicated/tf/addons/sourcemod/scripting$ nano maxhealth.sp
steam@docker0:~/tf-dedicated/tf/addons/sourcemod/scripting$ cat maxhealth.sp
