Steam in Docker

Tested in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64bit) and openSUSE Leap 42.1 with the following GPU's:

  • Intel HD Graphics 3000
  • Intel HD Graphics 4400
  • NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 560 Ti

Requirements

Building and launching Steam

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 use the following shortcut function and place it to your ~/.bash_aliases file

function docker_helper() { { pushd ~/docker/$1; docker-compose rm -fa "$1"; docker-compose run -d --name "$1" "$@"; popd; } }
function steam() { { docker_helper $FUNCNAME $@; } }

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

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):

If you are getting segmentation fault error or Steam does not start, then you could try resetting its config:

$ docker-compose run --rm steam --reset

Grsecurity notes

grsec: TPE

Trusted Path Execution (TPE)

This Steam docker image is working with the grsecurity patched kernel. It only needs a /proc/sys/kernel/grsecurity/tpe_gid accessible by root for read.

grsec: PaX

It is also working with PaX part of the grsecurity.
I have tested it with Half-Life games like CS 1.6, and CS:GO.
Please refer to the launch file if grsecurity is blocking some executable or a library.
