Garry's Mod Dedicated Server in Docker

Garry's Mod (GMod) is a sandbox physics game created by Garry Newman originally a mod for Half-Life 2 but was later made into a standalone release. The base game mode "sandbox" has no set objectives, and gives the player the freedom to spawn non-player characters (NPCs), ragdolls or objects (called props), such as furniture, shipping containers, dumpsters and explosions, and interact with them in various ways. Garry's Mod allows users to take advantage of the extensibility of the Source Engine through the spawn menu which enables users to spawn models and maps imported by the user.
