Is there a tutorial on how to host a ddnet server on a vserver?

00:40

or any other mod

@NeXus I'm sure there's one somewhere, it's really not complicated u can get the binary or build the server yourself on ur vps and clone maps from ddnet-maps, after that it's just a matter of setting the configuration u want and writing a service file to start it on boot and such. What part of the whole process are you not understanding ?

Hm like everything ^^ Which binary files? Cant I just upload the ddnet folder and run the ddnet-server file

If your pc and the vps are running the same OS it should work yeah

No I run ubuntu 16.4 on my vps, but I downloaded linux ddnet version (edited)

you downloaded it where, on your vps ?

on my desktop, but I want to upload it to my vps via ssh or ftp, thats correct? (edited)

I mean yeah you could do that, it's usually way faster to just download it directly from your vps

ok, and in which directory do I put these files

00:55

For webhosting its var/www for example

00:56

or does it not matter

it doesn't really matter like put it in your home directory /home/YOURUSERNAME

ty Ill try

what os is your vps running ? do you want to have a server with all maps like on ddnet's servers ?

ubuntu 16.4, no

00:59

Just want to experiment, but Ill probably do a race server after that

alright, yeah so you need to configure like the server config's file for like the basic settings, storage.cfg should be generated if it doesn't exists or something, then you can just run the server from an ssh session like ./DDNet-server

01:02

be aware that's not a really good way to do it like if you want to have mutiple servers running and so on

01:02

it also won't start on boot nor restart automatically if it crashes

01:02

but for testing purpose i guess it's alright

for sv_map where does the system get the maps from

01:04

I mean theres no config_directory/maps

i think without configuring anything it'll take the directory where the executable is/maps or ~/.teeworlds/maps something like that

ah ok

you also won't get /save and so on

I know

01:06

Dont need all that for now ^^ Database integration maybe later

yeah, you'd also need to open ports if you have a firewall that blocks by default

Cool my server is online, worked like a charm

01:12

ty

01:12

^^

awesome ! that's not really a good way to do that but for testing purpose let's say it's ok. Just ask when you'll need a better way

01:19

( as it is you'll need something like tmux or screen to let your server run when you close your ssh session, also if you're not used to linux be aware don't run your server as "root" that's pretty bad )

Wait what, the server will close when my ssh connection is gone?

01:31

How do I make it 24/7

you can either write a systemd unit file or simply install tmux and use that

01:34

tmux is like a tool you use to attach and detach consoles, so you can get into a tmux console, launch your server and it'll stay running in the background, you can then reattach the console using "tmux attach" or "tmux a" to get back to the console running your server

01:36

systemd unit files are just simple files that allows you to use "systemctl start yourunit.service" to start your server, with the possibility to replace start by stop/enable/disable, start and stop are obvious enable/disable are like run at boot

01:37

i don't know which way appeals more to you, either are fine, unit files are more something you'd use in production, tmux is fine for testing and so on

You know whats up with this?

If you build the server that won't happen ^^

01:48

it's easy to do like it's a matter of 4 or 5 commands

I have the source code how to build it

01:49

probably this cmake

yeah first you need to have the required libraries installed

01:50

sudo apt-get install cmake git libcurl4-openssl-dev libfreetype6-dev libglew-dev libogg-dev libopus-dev libopusfile-dev libpnglite-dev libsdl2-dev libwavpack-dev python

01:51

you then get into the source directory

01:51

you create a new directory "build" and get inside it

01:52

you run "cmake .. -DCLIENT=OFF" and then "make" and you'll get the server binary in this build folder

01:53

you need to have "build-essential" installed too i don't know if it is by default

how did you get the source ?

oh but that's not ddnet

i know, i dont want ddnet. But its the same no? (edited)

01:55

with compiling

no not at all, i mean it totally depends on the program

not at all? Its both based on teeworlds

01:57

And cmake worked too, or is it smth ddnet invented

01:58

oh ok a friends tells me i have to use bam

i guess this is more based on teeworlds

01:58

so you'd need to try the teeworlds way

02:15

Do I miss libraries?

02:18

Image attachment

yup

i think i have everything now but I still get "no such file or directory" errors ;/

that means you don't have everything ^^ you need sdl, the header files specifically something like "libsdl-dev" maybe

Image attachment

02:28

idk what am I missing

02:29

these two with "no" ?

i don't know what those are i knew you did not have sdl because the errors where about SDL.h, why are you launching bam like that according to https://teeworlds.com/?page=docs&wiki=compiling_everything for 0.6 you could run it with "server_release"

ok now only http_parser.h fails (edited)

02:41

why is this so scuffed omg

no idea i don't know how bam works

Yea I gave up thats stupid

03:01

not even the build.py script works lmao

i mean you're not supposed to run build.py at any point of the process

I think it was made to do a 1 click installation

03:03

when i look into the code i see that it wants to download bam, vanilla tw, and doing compile stuff

03:04

but its useless if it doesnt work

is there any way of compiling bam with visual sutdio 2017 ?

No idea you're supposed to build it using a .bat script

20:04
