Updated these two guides:
Install SteamCMD for a Steam Game Server
/docs/game-servers/install-steamcmd-for-a-steam-game-server/Updated in place.
Launch a Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) server on Ubuntu 14.04
/docs/game-servers/launch-a-counter-strike-global-offensive-server-on-ubuntu-14-04/Created a new Ubuntu 18.04 guide at
/docs/game-servers/launch-a-counter-strike-global-offensive-server-on-ubuntu-18-04/and set a deprecated link from the old guide.The SteamCMD guide had some incorrect firewall rules. Here's what the output from netstat was when running the CS:GO game server:
The game server is listening on ports between 2700 and 27030. The old SteamCMD and CS:GO guides listed those ports as the source ports:
Really, they should be the destination ports in the firewall. Trying to connect to the game server with the existing rules from the guides failed. Switching the rules to use the relevant ports as the destination ports succeeded.
This brings into question whether any other game guides that also link to the SteamCMD guide will work under either the old version of the guide or this new version. I will create a separate card/task for reviewing those guides.
In the meantime, these guide updates require another tech/copy edit from someone else.
