An Ansible role that installs and configures a Counter-Strike: Source dedicated server.
The game server is downloaded through Steam and exposed as a systemd service for easier management. Using this role it is possible to publish a minimalist server with custom maps. For more advanced configuration it is necessary to install Metamod:Source and SourceMod.
Automatic testing is provided using molecule's delegated driver and https://builds.sr.ht.
An ansible role dedicated to the installation of SteamCMD such as tleguern.steamcmd.
This role should provide the steam_home variable, pointing to such a folder as /home/steam/Steam or /home/steam/.steam depending on your operating system.

cstrike_source_extra_mapcycles:
- name: deathrun
content: |
deathrun_temple
deathrun_goldfever
- name: dustonly

These files can later be used with rcon, using the mapcyclefile CVAR.
