This multicontainer Docker application allows to run dedicated quake servers and ipxbox.

How to use:

1. Create your VPS based on Ubuntu 20.04 via VPS Hosting Provider GUI.
2. Connect to the VPS via ssh or PuTTY.
3. Install Docker and docker-compose.

    $ apt update
    $ apt install docker.io
    $ curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.15.0/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
    $ ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
    $ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
    $ systemctl enable docker

4. Download quake-for-dos-over-ipx.

    $ cd ~
    $ mkdir quake-servers 
    $ cd quake-servers
    $ curl -SL https://github.com/artyomsoft/quake-for-dos-over-ipx/releases/download/v0.0.1/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml

5. Start quake-for-dos-over-ipx.

    $ docker-compose up -d

6. Download and unpack [Quake for DOS] (https://archive.org/download/quake_dos/Quake.zip).
7. Install DOSBox Staging on your local machines you want to play the Quake from. Close DOSBox.
8. Enable ipx in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\DOSBox\dosbox-staging.conf.

[ipx]
ipx = true

[autoexec]
mount c: c:\games
c:
cd quake
ipxnet connect your.vps.address 10000
