GMOD running clockwork.

I'm not really familiar with clockwork, but I have hosted a source dedicated server.

 

You just install the GMOD dedicated server software on your computer, like you would on an actual server.

Hey,

 

I'm trying to test some of my plugins for a game server, but I'm a cheapo so I don't actually have my own dev server. It is possible to do something like Virtual Machine but run a server on it?

Yes. Or, why not just run the server locally? On your computer.

Just put the server on your computer.

Yeah, facepalming hard right now because I'd forgotten about just hosting it with SteamCMD etc. Thanks so much :-)

It's not only quite possible to run a server on a VM but is how a lot of companies do it already. Many companies run a few to several servers on one or more physical machines.

Just a question, can I copy gmod and CSS, etc from my steamapps instead of downloading them though SteamCMD?
