tf2-server Cookbook

This cookbook will prep your server to be a Team Fortress 2 server.

Note: The default recipe will only prep your server to host tf2. You will still need to login and perform ./update.sh from the home directory to actually perform the initial TF2 installation.

Recipes

default.rb

Creates user and group on the target system and downloads steam client under users home directory. Installs prerequisite packages and adds in any specified public keys to authorized_keys. After this we download and extract the steam client into the users home directory. Additionally, we enable a crontab entry for updating the tf2 installation every Monday at 10pm.
