andrewmhub/insurgency-sandstorm repository overview

This image will be built any time there are updates to the steam app or upstream docker image, so you don’t have to update anything inside a container. I tried to build the image as “best-practice” as possible and to document everything for you.

Tips and Tricks

How to save RAM on UE4 Linux(Docker) dedicated server

if you launch multiple servers on same host you can save some memory, on 2 game servers more than 1gb memory saved.

Make sure that parameter set on 1 after host reboot

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run

and add launch options -useksm -ksmmergeall then restart servers

wait some amount of time and check statistics grep -H '' /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/*

pages_shared - how many shared pages are being used

pages_sharing - how many more sites are sharing them i.e. how much saved

pages_unshared - how many pages unique but repeatedly checked for merging

pages_sharing*4096/1024/1024=how much memory saved

So, in your example, 264281 pages have been found to be shareable. KSM saved you about 1032 MB of memory.
