terraform-aws-counter-strike-go

Terraform code for Counter Strike dedicated server on AWS

HOW TO USE?

  1. Create a Game Server Login Token.
    Open https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers in your browser and login with your steam account.
    Create a new Login Token with the APP ID of 730 (Counter String GO Game) and add a Memo so you can remember where you are using this game token.

steam token

Save the token, you'll need it later to setup the instance.

  1. Create an user on AWS and configure these environment variables accordingly:
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  1. terraform init
  2. terraform plan --var-file=custom_vars.tfvars
  3. Configure the token in custom_vars.tfvars file, token key.
  4. terraform apply --var-file=custom_vars.tfvars
    1. If you want to pass or change any other variable in vars.tf use --var "KEY=VALUE". See vars.tf for the KEY. This will overrwide the KEY in custom_vars.tfvars file.

Server will start downloading CS:GO. It might take up to 30 minutes for you to be able to connect to the game server.

How To SSH Into The Server?

Terraform will create the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub ssh keys to be used to access the instance.

The instance will be created with a public IP assocciated and will output it in the end. To access the instance you should execute ssh ubuntu@PUBLIC_IP -i id_rsa changing PUBLIC_IP accordingly from the output.\

if you lost the output from terraform you can run terraform output and you'll find all information you need.

How To Connect To The Server From CSGO?

Open your terminal and type connect PUBLIC_IP changing PUBLIC_IP accordingly.
