About Counter-Strike: Source
Counter-Strike: Source is Valve's 2004 Source-engine version of Counter-Strike, still played on classic, surf, jailbreak and zombie servers. Your server runs Valve's Linux dedicated server: pick the start map here and set the rest in server.cfg, with room for SourceMod and custom maps. Players need the game on Steam. For a public listing, add a free Steam Game Server Login Token (GSLT) from an account that owns the game.
