Left 4 Dead 2 is set in the aftermath of a worldwide pandemic of a disease nicknamed the "Green Flu", which rapidly transforms humans into zombie-like creatures and mutated forms that demonstrate extreme aggression towards non-infected beings. A few humans are immune to the disease, while some of those who are infected have no symptoms. The Civil Emergency and Defense Agency (CEDA) and the U.S. military create safe zones to attempt to evacuate as many survivors as possible.
Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008.
L4D 2 servers require 1 port to be open. The port can be safely changed to any other.

# Variables
# STEAM_USER, STEAM_PASS, STEAM_AUTH - Steam user setup. If a user has 2fa enabled it will most likely fail due to timeout. Leave blank for anon install.
# WINDOWS_INSTALL - if it's a windows server you want to install set to 1
# SRCDS_APPID - steam app id found here - https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dedicated_Servers_List
# SRCDS_BETAID - beta branch of a steam app. Leave blank to install normal branch
# SRCDS_BETAPASS - password for a beta branch should one be required during private or closed testing phases.. Leave blank for no password.
# INSTALL_FLAGS - Any additional SteamCMD flags to pass during install.. Keep in mind that steamcmd auto update process in the docker image might overwrite or ignore these when it performs update on server boot.
# AUTO_UPDATE - Adding this variable to the egg allows disabling or enabling automated updates on boot. Boolean value. 0 to disable and 1 to enable.
