Support for betas, especially x86-64

[BitCrack]

MySQLOO, a popular module for connecting to MySQL and MariaDB databases from a Garry's Mod server recently dropped support for x86 systems due to lack of x86 builds of MySQL 8. This module might not work with the default x86 and allowing betas and especially x86-64 could fix possible problems.

It's documented here.

You can start the container for example like docker run --rm -it -e "APPS=4020 -beta x86-64,232330" hackebein/garrysmod to get the x86-64 branch.

let me know if this is working for you.

After installing GDB on the container and adding -debug as an additional parameter it lead me to this error cat: hlds.XXXXX.pid: No such file or directory along with this site https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=300118 , but the solution there didn't work.

I also made a custom Dockerfile with a custom entrypoint and changed all srcds_run to srcds_run_x64 and built it, then ran it with an already existing server and everything was fine, but the server froze right before the addons were supposed to load I guess.

I tested it and it works for me. I just updated the image to fix a bug ~1 hour ago. Did you use the new one?

Can you send the complete log?

Installing the beta using cm2network/steamcmd works for both scripts, but output of lua_run print(jit.os, jit.arch) depends on which script has been used, Linux x86 when using srcds_run and Linux x64 when using srcds_run_x64.

After pulling the latest image and using it, the error above is gone and server is starting normally, but like I said, the "game's" architecture is still x86, due to it using the srcds_run and not srcds_run_x64 script.

You can change the binary file with SRCDSBIN="srcds_run_x64". I'll add steam repository support via docker image tags soon.
