ioquake3 Server in Docker optimized for Unraid
This Docker will download and install ioquake3 Server (You have to copy your pak0.pk3 file from your game directory to your server).
PK3 Files: After the container started the first time you have to copy your pak0.pk3 file from your Quake III Arena directory into your server directory: .../.q3a/baseq3/ (i strongly recommend you to place all your pak*.pk3 files into it) after that simply restart the container to start the server.
WEB CONSOLE: You can connect to the ioquake3 console by opening your browser and go to HOSTIP:9029 (eg: 192.168.1.1:9029) or click on WebUI on the Docker page within Unraid.
