# Steam in Docker
|
|
|
|
Tested in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64bit) with the following GPU's:
|
|
|
|
- Intel HD Graphics 3000
|
|
- Intel HD Graphics 4400
|
|
- NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 560 Ti
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
|
|
- (Optional) [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
- Currently, the version of the Nvidia's driver in this container must match the version installed on your host.
|
|
|
|
I am going to improve the `/launch` script so that it will be able to automatically detect the working version of your Nvidia driver and use it.
|
|
Currently the script detects only the nvidia-340 vs no-proprietary-nvidia-drivers at all.

# Building and launching Steam
|
|
|
|
## Create 32bit image
|
|
|
|
Create 32-bit Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) image
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get -y install debootstrap
|
|
sudo debootstrap --arch=i386 xenial /tmp/xenial-chroot http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
|
|
sudo tar -C /tmp/xenial-chroot -c . | docker import - xenial32
|
|
sudo rm -rf /tmp/xenial-chroot
|
|
docker tag xenial32 andrey01/xenial32:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build Steam Docker image
|
|
|
|
You may want to re-run this command later on in order to keep the image updated.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker build -t andrey01/steam .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Launch the Steam in Docker
|
|
|
|
You can drop the following aliases to your ~/.bash_aliases
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
alias docker="sudo docker"
|
|
alias docker-compose="sudo docker-compose"
|
|
alias steam="docker-compose -f $HOME/docker/steam/docker-compose.yml run --rm steam"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then just issue "steam" command to run Steam in docker.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
You might want to modify the `docker-compose.yml` in case of problems, the file should be pretty self explanatory, although you may refer to the official [Docker Compose file reference](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/)
|
|
|
|
Also keep in mind to uncomment or/and add your devices to the `devices:` section there.
|
|
|
|
The best result is when you have a similar to the following output, using the `glxgears` (part of `mesa-utils` package):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker-compose -f $HOME/docker/steam/docker-compose.yml run --rm --entrypoint glxgears steam
|
|
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
|
|
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
|
|
305 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.878 FPS
|
|
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.011 FPS
|
|
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.009 FPS
|
|
305 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.807 FPS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are getting `segmentation fault` error or Steam does not start, then you could try resetting its config:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker-compose -f $HOME/docker/steam/docker-compose.yml run --rm steam --reset
|
|
```
