Quake III Server in Docker optimized for Unraid
This container will download and install Quake III Server (You have to copy your .pk3 files from your game directory to your server).
PK3 Files: After the container started the first time you have to copy your pak*.pk3 files 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 and it would start the server.
Configuring the server: Your server.cfg and maprotationfile.cfg is located into your server directory and .../.q3a/baseq/ (after you successfully started the Quake III Server once).

This Docker was mainly edited for better use with Unraid, if you don't use Unraid you should definitely try it!
