Tutorial CentOS 32-bit/64-bit complete dedicated server guide, chroot, startup script and newest libstdc++

Note: CentOS 7 works, think to uncomment the 7.1 rpm link and comment the 6.7 one, by default the 6.7 is set.
If using 7.1, compiling gcc should not be required anymore. Let me know if you find more 7.1 compatibilities issues or changes.

Tip : Guide designed for the 'Fusion Gamer' style (you can set it in the forum preferences)
New : Guide ready for Furious Koala (small launcher file removed but required to us)

​

Once everything is set you will have access to few more commands:

From inside the chroot


Or from outside


Note: This is a generic method, it has been successfully tested with Starbound on CentOS 6.x 32-bit and 64-bit and also after some slight modifications with Terraria and King Arthur's Gold servers.

In the block below all the commands of the guide, if you are new with Linux I recommend to start at section 2.

The block below will create a new chroot environment in /chroot-starbound:
(The rpm link at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/ may change after each major CentOS update, I will do my best to update the link, feel free to contact else)

Code:

cd /
mkdir -p /chroot-starbound/
mkdir -p /chroot-starbound/var/lib/rpm
rpm --rebuilddb --root=/chroot-starbound/
# CentOS 7.1 ?
# rpm -i --root=/chroot-starbound --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/$(uname -i)/Packages/centos-release-7-1.1503.el7.centos.2.8.$(uname -m).rpm
rpm -i --root=/chroot-starbound --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/$(uname -i)/Packages/centos-release-6-7.el6.centos.12.3.$(uname -m).rpm

cp /etc/resolv.conf /chroot-starbound/etc/resolv.conf
cp /etc/sysconfig/network /chroot-starbound/etc/sysconfig/network

echo "/sys /chroot-starbound/sys sysfs defaults,noatime 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
mount -a
cp /chroot-starbound/etc/skel/.??* /chroot-starbound/root

We can now switch to this new chroot with:

Code:

chroot /chroot-starbound

Ensure now the new chroot is up to date and has the tools we need to install:

Code:

yum -y install screen wget gcc gcc-c++ make zip tar glibc procps vi nano initscripts SDL libvorbis libogg libpng freetype openssl
yum -y update

We will now compile the latest libstdc++.so.6 for the game server only. This is because by default CentOS 6.x ships with an older libstdc++ version and is not compatible with most modern game servers, this could be a very long step on older systems:
(Tip: On single processors , use -j1 instead of -j6)

Code:

mkdir -p /tools/installers_to_delete/
cd /tools/installers_to_delete/
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.8.2/gcc-4.8.2.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gcc-4.8.2.tar.gz

$PWD/../gcc-4.8.2/configure --prefix=/tools/gcc-4.8.2 --enable-languages=c++ --disable-nls --disable-multilib --disable-libgcj --without-headers --disable-static
make -j6
make -j6 install

The Valve developers provide a way to download Steam games directly from the command line:

Code:

useradd starbound
mkdir /starbound
mkdir -p /tools/steamcmd_linux
mkdir -p /var/run/starbound
cd /tools/steamcmd_linux
yum -y install glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar -xzvf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

In the command line below replace login and password with yours:
(Tip: You may need to use the escape character \ with special characters)

./steamcmd.sh +login login password +force_install_dir /starbound/ +app_update 211820 validate +quit

The command line below supports both 32-bit and 64-bit version:

Code:

ln -s /tools/gcc-4.8.2/lib*/libstdc++.so.6 /starbound/linux$(getconf LONG_BIT)/libstdc++.so.6
ln -s /tools/gcc-4.8.2/lib*/libgcc_s.so.1 /starbound/linux$(getconf LONG_BIT)/libgcc_s.so.1

New Since Furious Koala update, you need to create manually once the launch_starbound_server.sh script
Type nano /starbound/linux$(getconf LONG_BIT)/launch_starbound_server.sh and paste the following code

Code:

#!/bin/sh

cd "$(dirname "$0")"

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:./ ./starbound_server

Set the game folder permissions more permissive to the starbound user:

Code:

chown starbound:starbound /starbound -R
chown starbound:starbound /var/run/starbound -R
chmod 774 /starbound -R
find /starbound -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
chmod g+s /var/run/starbound

Test now it runs fine under the user starbound:

Code:

su starbound /starbound/linux$(getconf LONG_BIT)/launch_starbound_server.sh

Congratulations ! You made it !

Now you just need to put this as a service to have it running at computer start, to do so, follow the next section.​

• If you followed the previous steps, the server should be running, hit Ctrl-C to close it now
• Copy the block below in a new file and name it starbound, for this you can execute nano starbound

• Save the file and execute mv starbound /etc/init.d/ to move it in /etc/init.d/
• Execute chmod 755 /etc/init.d/starbound to make it executable

Congratulations ! You can now use the startup script like that:

Make sure you stand in the chroot:

Code:

chroot /chroot-starbound

And:

Code:

/etc/init.d/starbound start
/etc/init.d/starbound stop
/etc/init.d/starbound connect
/etc/init.d/starbound restart

This time we will repeat what we have done in 3. but outside the chroot.

• Important : If you followed the previous steps, execute exit to quit the chroot
• Copy the block below in a new file and name it chroot_env, for this you can execute nano chroot_env
  (if you don't have nano installed, get it with yum install nano)
  
  Code:

  #!/bin/bash
  #
  # chroot_env      Start/Stop chroot env daemons
  #

      *)
          echo "Usage: chroot_env {start|stop|restart}"
          exit 1
      ;;
  esac

• Save the file and execute mv chroot_env /etc/init.d/ to move it in /etc/init.d/
• Execute chmod 755 /etc/init.d/chroot_env to make it executable
• Execute chkconfig --add chroot_env to install it as a new system service

Congratulations ! The game server will now automatically start when the computer start

You can now start, stop and restart the game server from outside the chroot:

Code:

service chroot_env start
service chroot_env stop
service chroot_env restart

Q: Help, I'm getting the following error when creating the chroot

Code:

warning: /chroot-starbound/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.jcalRs: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID c105b9de: NOKEY
error: open of /chroot-starbound/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.jcalRs failed: No such file or directory

A: You are not running an official image of CentOS, but a modified build provided by OVH. To know if you are running an official CentOS build, type uname -a you should see something similar to 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 and not 3.10.9-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 or 3.2.13-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64. Unfortunately at this time no workaround is known (I hope you understand why in my opinion and in the opinion of many other admins OVH is a bad hosting company).

Q: How do you copy/paste, this is very long to type everything manually
A: It is not required to type every lines manually, get Kitty and connect your 22/SSH tcp and you will be able to copy paste. You can also get WinSCP, good tool for file transfer through the same ssh port.

Below is my server if you want to visit

 

Thank you !
it works fine !

For the FAQ :

is it possible to run multiple server on different port? (i don't even know if the software give this possibility it's the first server i'm installing)

 

Thanks will put this in the FAQ

Of course you can, you just need to build a new chroot, for this you replace every /char-starbound occurrence in the guide by /chroot-starbound2 for example, and also make sure each server will use different ports in the settings

 

need to reinstall everything again? :'(

I was hoping for a switch to give a new config file at the software with other port / world settings

So i just had to change the init.d script.

 

Hmmmm maybe too but you will have to deal with conflict bugs I guess

Proper way to would be to create a new chroot without compiling gcc and without logging in to Steam to download it again as they are the two longest steps this should be quick

you compress what you did in the first chroot

chroot /chroot-starbound/ && cd / && tar -zcvf starbound.tar.gz starbound
chroot /chroot-starbound/ && cd /tools && tar -zcvf gcc-4.8.2.tar.gz gcc-4.8.2

Then next time you build the chroot, instead of compiling gcc you will do

cd /tools
tar -xzvf gcc-4.8.2.tar.gz

And before login to Steam

cd /
tar -xzvf starbound.tar.gz

then once you will login to steam it revalidates the files, no download

//edit: Just tested it works fine, btw caught and fixed an issue in starbound init script when you are running 2 servers or more

 

Hey class101,

First off, thanks a ton for the guide!
I'm new to Linux and just recently started renting a VPS and was going through the paces to get a server up and running. I'm encountering an error when I input

The Error is:

Any troubleshooting is appreciated!

 

Thats strange you are redirected on www.centos.org, should have sent you to mirror.centos.org .. will look for an alternative link

A workaround, use this link http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/centos-release-6-5.el6.centos.11.1.x86_64.rpm

//edit: If persist can you run same command with -v and post results

 

Using the alternate link you provided the issue persisted and I arrived at the same error. I replaced (-i) with (-v) and was prompted with a full list of commands and their functions. Not too familiar with linux commands :v

 

dont replace , just add -v at end of command , run it and show the log, will probably give more infos why it sends you on www.centos.org

//EDIT:
could you show also the results of

cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

I suspect you have a strange nameserver error because if I do a google search of "http://www.centos.org/6/os/x86_64/" only this thread returns so I think you are the only one experiencing this around

 

Input: rpm -i --root=/chroot-starbound --nodeps http://www.mirror.centos.org/centos...centos-release-6-5.el6.centos.11.1.x86_64.rpm -v
Output: error: skipping http://www.mirror.centos.org/centos...centos-release-6-5.el6.centos.11.1.x86_64.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unepected error

Didn't really seem to expand on the error at all

edit//

I ran both lines directly into the server and neither of the directories mentioned exist

 

it is rpm -i --root=/chroot-starbound --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/$(uname -i)/Packages/centos-release-6-5.el6.centos.11.1.$(uname -m).rpm -v

else try
cat /etc/resolv.conf

change or write the dns to the google one, edit resolv.conf like that:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4


cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*

and in the ifcfg of your card you put

DNS1=8.8.8.8
DNS2=8.8.4.4

and service network restart

 

You'll have to bare with me, I'm not sure how to edit or even navigate to the config files to change the dns unless I can do that from my vps panel.

 

yeh better in pm

 

[root@ks4001906 steamcmd_linux]# su starbound /starbound/linux$(getconf LONG_BIT)/launch_starbound_server.sh
./starbound_server: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Help this is for its first run!

 

what is your os and 32bit or 64bit, and how did you obtained libstdc++.so.6

I think you are on CentOS 32-bit and you attempted to get the supplied gcc-4.8.2-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.gz

If thats the case delete the 64-bit folder of libstdc++ and relink so the 32bit lib is correctly linked this time:

Code:

rm /tools/gcc-4.8.2/lib64 -fr
ln -sf /tools/gcc-4.8.2/lib*/libstdc++.so.6 /starbound/linux$(getconf LONG_BIT)/libstdc++.so.6
ln -sf /tools/gcc-4.8.2/lib*/libgcc_s.so.1 /starbound/linux$(getconf LONG_BIT)/libgcc_s.so.1
su starbound /starbound/linux$(getconf LONG_BIT)/launch_starbound_server.sh

 

I am running CentOS 6.5 64 Bit and i updated the libraries,

 

You did not followed all the steps then I double checked several time the procedures on 32 & 64 bit it is ok

The message you got means you are loading libstdc++ in 32 bit with 64-bit server and this could not happen if you follow the steps

 

Ok so i do part 2 the install part 1 and this is what i get:

Code:

Nothing seems to be right the chroot creation says nothign exists (witch it does not because it has not been created and that is what the command does) but when i go to enter the chroot:

Code:

[root@ks4001906 /]# chroot /chroot-starbound
chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory

So i did "cd /chroot-starbound" and the install of gcc runs fine.

Next Problem is that you say: (Tip2: Want to bypass compilation ? Download gcc-4.8.2-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.gz, extract in/chroot-starbound/tools/ and proceed to the next step) There is no /chroot-starbound/tools/

Those are just the few starting issues!

 

then if you compiled gcc forget tip2 its just if you want to save time and not compile gcc but better to understand what you are doing with this tip, in short not recommended, always better to compile and let the make install do the thing for you

//edit: I have removed tip2, was too confusing
