Server Discussion How to: Set up a linux server on ubuntu

Discussion in 'Multiplayer' started by sovredcat, Dec 4, 2013.

  1. Sure you will probably only need newer packages, I know that steamworks api uses recent libraries

    I had to grab the bspatch and libraries released in this thread to get it to work in Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.
    32-bit worked fine with the given directions.

    Im also intrested !

    i got a Gameserver running on a Dedicated Ubuntu machine.
    It works well but i cant change anny settings

    At leats a Password would be great that only me and my m8s are able to use it.

    with best +DS_DV+

    PS: the server log often starts with creating sarbound.config but in it is only ip and screen resolution ? !

    Hm many people need some 32bit and other librarys.
    Maybe i'll do a full tutorial for UNIX in teh followin days-
     
  8. Also watchout dedicated server owners with little bandwith allocation, using SteamCMD will use twice more bandwith 1.3GB full download than uploading assets/ and linux64/ yourself because after cleaning up linux64/ client files and packing into 7z that's down to 650 MB

    Doing that will use more bandwidth in the long-run. You will have to patch in the future. If you patch the entire game manually, you will use a lot more bandwidth than the differential patch done by SteamCMD.

    Well, something copied wrong, haha

    Whenever I try to start the script - thinking I'll have to recopy.

    Code:
    Error: Fatal Exception Caught: MapException: Key 'sand2' not found in Map::get()
    ./starbound_server(_ZN4Star13StarExceptionC2ERKSs+0xfe) [0xa57f1e]
    ./starbound_server() [0x724b4a]
    ./starbound_server(_ZNK4Star16MaterialDatabase10materialIdERKNS_6StringE+0x48) [0x71dc38]
    ./starbound_server(_ZN4Star15LiquidsDatabase4loadEv+0xd73) [0x714e73]
    ./starbound_server() [0x557c4e]
    ./starbound_server() [0x55a155]
    ./starbound_server() [0x5072f6]
    /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7fde487ec995]
    ./starbound_server() [0x50b3ed]
     
  11. Ho I see It much like a steamclient designed for dedicated servers ? then that's cool

    Don't use the script in the OP's post. SteamCMD saves your password in an encrypted file, and it doesn't need to be launched unless there's an update.

    A lot of people have reported issues with the 64-bit server program. Try the 32-bit.

    It turns out that there was a bad copy - I rar'd it and then unrar'd with no issues.

    My issue now is trying to figure out the 'better' startscript.

    haha

    Was able to play all night with 3-4 friends on a VPS thanks to your guide.

    It was very helpful, thanks!

    Tidy'd up the install and whatnot with DeMossiah's post here. Also includes an auto-start script.

    As I said earlier in this thread:
    Quoting that Tweet here for the lazy:

    "if you want to set a password on your server: assets/default_configuration.config edit the serverPasswords list."

    Keep in mind this change gets lost if you validate/update through steamcmd.

    Thanks a million for this! I never realized there was a command line version of Steam.

    Yep, always make backups of your config changes, as well as the universe folder.
