Imperium Galactica 2 matchmaking server

Istencsászár, vezesd szolgád!

What is that?

This is a Docker wrapper for an IG2 Matchmaking server hub.

Imperium Galactica II is a strategy game from 1999. [Wikipedia]

The old client just couldn't run in the new systems. THQ has made a rework of the game available at [Steam store].

The sad thing is, the Official multiplayer matchmaking server is down for a long time. The good thing is the developers shared the source code of the matchmaking server, so the players can host their own matchmaking hub.
