![[5 Mins Docker] Create Your Own 80s-90s DOS Gaming Website (1898 Games)](https://hackedyou.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/5-Mins-Docker-Create-Your-Own-80s-90s-DOS-Gaming-Website-1024x689.png)
There are lots of Chinese DOS games in 1980s – 1990s. The Github page (https://github.com/rwv/chinese-dos-games) collected them and created a docker image to simplify the steps to bring them up into a website. You even can create your own website with just a couple of simple commands.
In this post, I am going to go through those steps in 5 minutes and show you how simple it is.

We got 10G to play in this Docker Playground.
1 Create installation folder:
2 Create Own Security Policies
The all games will be about 36G. It will be too big for a docker image.
So there are two different ways to install it.
Method 1: using default docker image which only has about 40 games. The docker image size is about 600MB.
The docker compose file is:
Once done, you can type “docker compose up -d” to bring it up.
Here are all games:
游戏列表
Of course, if you don’t like docker compose file, you can use following one command to bring this game docker up :
docker run -d --name dosgame -p 8090:262 oldiy/dosgame-web-docker:latest
3 Method 2 : Install all games.
If your spare hard drive size is more than 36G, then you can try to install all 1989 games by downloading them.
The docker compose file will be:
You will need to manually download the game using following commands:
If there is no python or git, you might also need to run following commands to install them:
- apt update -y
- apt install git -y && apt install python3 -y
4 Check game files
After completed download, you can check file numbers using this command：
The total number should be 1898
You also can use du command to check：
Check total file size. It should be 36G：
5 Bring up the game
