Re: [hlds_linux] Autoupdate CS2 linux dedicated server

2023-12-09 Thread StealthMode Hu 
Maybe when Im done this recompile of CS:Source into Source 2. Without the
CSGO2 stuff...
That server should be easily modded to startup DS, run scripted functions
during startup.
Like Steam Client, to auto-check for updates on startup.

DS should have that same function hardcoded into SteamCMD.

Cough, Eric Smith, Challenge Issued.

Compile the Autoupdater into SteamCMD.
And have that script
" app_update 730 validate "
Automatically execute upon login to the acct.

No need for server admin to do this themselves.
When the process is automated for Clients.

Come on E.
We built STEAM for this stuff.
" Content Delivery Management System "
aka
" A Napster like Real Time Client Server Updater "...

No need for this archaic updating in these modern times.

Step it up E. Smith.

EndComms.

Re: [hlds_linux] Autoupdate CS2 linux dedicated server

2023-12-07 Thread Mecha Weasel 
PS: I have had weird issues before with trying to do an update on a
SteamCMD-delivered app, while it is running.  So, I always shut-it down
before trying to update it, and then restart it afterwards.  So, my "check"
script does that (only if an update is available).

Re: [hlds_linux] Autoupdate CS2 linux dedicated server

2023-12-07 Thread Mecha Weasel 
You can use cron job to force an update dailly, but that may mean nobody
can play on your server for most of a day while waiting for it to be
updated.
That's why I created the scripts the "check" if the released version in
Steam is different that whats already running.
If it is, then it forces and update, otherwise it doesn't do anything.
That way I can have that run more regularly (hourly) and automatically
apply the update.

I have several scripts involved actually, not just one.
- Script that "runs" the server interactively under SSH.
- Script that "starts" the run script in the background using GNU Screen
utility - giving it a name to use to reconnect or stop it later.
- Script that "stops" the server running under GNU Screen utility above.
- Script that "updates" the server forcibly using SteamCMD.
- Script that "checks" to see if an update should be applied.

There's lots of other maintenance stuff my scripts do to (zip old log
files, re-enforce some permissions that might get messed-up, overwrite some
critical customized files after an update, etc.).

I can e-mail you a copy of my "check" script for CS2 for reference, but you
wont be able to use it directly because of all the external
dependencies (calling my other scripts, etc.).
But if it helps you see how to parse the steam.ini file, the Steam API
call's results, etc - certainly willing to share.

Re: [hlds_linux] Autoupdate CS2 linux dedicated server

2023-12-07 Thread via hlds_linux list 

I figured out the automated check:

/usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir "/home/beringer/cs2-ds" +login 
 +app_update 730 +quit


And have it mailed to me:

/usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir "/home/beringer/cs2-ds" +login 
 +app_update 730 +quit | mail -s "Counter-Strike 2 update" 



And put it in cron for a daily check at 6AM and 6PM:

0 6,18 * * * /usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir 
"/home/beringer/cs2-ds" +login  +app_update 730 +quit | 
mail -s "Counter-Strike 2 update" 


Still have to restart the server after an update, but at least now I get 
a notification and see if there was an update, so at the moment this 
works for me :)


Regards,

Marcel
