2 issues with linux servers

[jatapa]

Now I am not sure if this happens to everybody both linux and windows but after the latest update my servers have had these 2 problems.

1. Running commands from console does not work.

2. The servers will freeze right after they are up or after some time and after that nobody can connect to them.

Also tried without plugins and atleast the first issue still happens

[Mithallas]

same here, ubuntu 16.04

[aman7]

yes its happening with me too.

[Trojaner]

Related to #932

[Ascivv1]

I am also having this happen to me as well

[SDGNelson]

For the meantime: add -NoDefaultConsole to the command-line.

I'll probably do some more work on a Linux implementation of the console IO in the future, but in the meantime if it's blocking other input workarounds (e.g. Trojaner's straightforward solution in #932) then the best workaround is to add -NoDefaultConsole to the command-line.

[Ascivv1]

What if I am using a RocketMod script? How do I do this?

[SDGNelson]

If you post the script as a gist I can direct exactly, but there are a few options:

1. If calling the ServerHelper.so script, -NoDefaultConsole could be added to the command-line arguments in there, or added to the arguments passed to the script.

2. If the custom script passes command-line arguments then -NoDefaultConsole could simply be added to the arguments passed to the script.

3. If the custom script calls Unturned_Headless.x86_64 directly then -NoDefaultConsole can be added to the line that calls it.

[Trojaner]

If anyone uses https://github.com/ImperialPlugins/unturned-docker/ and docker, you can also just attach -NoDefaultConsole to the docker command:

docker run -it -p 27015:27015 -p 27016:27016 -e SERVER_TYPE=rm4 --restart unless-stopped --name myserverinstance imperialplugins/unturned -NoDefaultConsole

[Trojaner]

The RocketLauncher doesn't support passing arguments to Unturned.

[Ascivv1]

RM Scripts.zip

Here is my scripts folder (Couldn't send .bat so I had to use .zip)

[Trojaner]

You are using the same scripts as Mith with RocketLauncher. You can not use -NoDefaultConsole.

[Ascivv1]

How can I use -NoDefaultConsole?

[Trojaner]

You don't need to edit the ServerHelper.sh (and I dont recommend doing so) When executing the ServerHelper.sh just add the -NoDefaultConsole argument to it.

e.g. ./ServerHelper.sh -NoDefaultConsole +secureserver/myserver

[Ascivv1]

But what do I do if I want to start the RocketMod script with -NoDefaultConsole?

[Nacho-Neko]

same here, ubuntu 18.04 i try to fix RocketLauncher,but no effect。 if add -NoDefaultConsole to RocketLauncher arguments ， console does not work too and worse

[Nacho-Neko]

@Trojaner use ServerHelper or other shell linux console can output and input？

[aman7]

so for the linux users only way left is to use docker? since RocketLauncher doesnt takes any arguments.

[TH3AL3X]

I have the same problem

[Eiromplays]

So I will need to switch to docker or?

[KyeNormanGill]

Using

./ServerHelper.sh -NoDefaultConsole -logfile 2>&1 +secureserver/Rocket | tee Servers/Rocket/Server.log

Still console doesn't work, i don't have enough experience with docker to use it for my server. Any ETA on a fix for this?

[Trojaner]

But what do I do if I want to start the RocketMod script with -NoDefaultConsole?

You can't, it's that simple.

so for the linux users only way left is to use docker? since RocketLauncher doesnt takes any arguments.

So I will need to switch to docker or?

No one ever claimed you must use docker?!

./ServerHelper.sh -NoDefaultConsole -logfile 2>&1 +secureserver/Rocket | tee Servers/Rocket/Server.log

What exactly does not work? Did you also use export TERM=xterm before that?

There seems to be a misunderstanding that RocketLauncher is required to use RocketMod. This isn't and was never the case. All what the RocketLauncher does is provide console output (not even input, which is handled by Unity itself). The commands with ServerHelper and -logfile 2>&1 replace this functionality.

[aman7]

which file is calling ./ServerHelper.sh, i dont see it in my Start.sh `#!/bin/bash GAME_INSTALL_DIR="$PWD" server=$1

cd $GAME_INSTALL_DIR ulimit -n 2048 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GAME_INSTALL_DIR/lib64:$GAME_INSTALL_DIR/Unturned_Headless/Plugins/x86_64 mono Rocket.Unturned.Launcher.exe $1 `

[Trojaner]

You are using the RocketLauncher which is not using ServerHelper...

[aman7]

so what is the other way to use ServerHelper and not the RocketLauncher. what should be the Start script.

[Trojaner]

I have posted the related start commands at least 2 times facepalm

[gegtor]

It crashes like this

[Trojaner]

Can you also add -logfile 2>&1 so we can actually get console output. Dont forget to type export TERM=xterm before that.

[gegtor]

./ServerHelper.sh -logifle 2>&1 -NoDefaultConsole +secureserver/SV1

Same thing happens with logfile argument

[Trojaner]

You have a typo in your logfile argument (I apparently wrote it wrong). The output must be different when typed correctly.

[Nacho-Neko]

-logfile 2>&1

[gegtor]

Dumm me i didn't even looked what i'm typing in

Output works now

To be sure i started clean server and it stops here:

Bad thread local

[KyeNormanGill]

Do i run export TERM=xterm as a seperate command before running the server? I did exactly what gegtor did, but input doesn't work. Output was always fine. Just input.

[Nacho-Neko]

@SDGNelson can you modify it back? please

[gegtor]

Okay it seems like i had other server running in the background and that caused the Bad thread local error

It works now

[gegtor]

@KyeNormanGill

Do ~export TERM=xterm Then ~./ServerHelper.sh -logfile 2>&1 -NoDefaultConsole +secureserver/<server-name>

[Trojaner]

I can confirm that console input is currently broken even with -NoDefaultConsole.

[Nacho-Neko]

I hope to cancel this update.

[gegtor]

@HanaForward

There were much worse updates than this

Even if everything is on fire there is no such thing as rollback update for Nelson

[aman7]

@KyeNormanGill

Do ~export TERM=xterm Then ~./ServerHelper.sh -logfile 2>&1 -NoDefaultConsole +secureserver/<server-name>

are you able to run multiple instance?

[Nacho-Neko]

@gegtor lol just hope Nelson can rollback update hhhh

[jatapa]

@HanaForward no need for that just do what trojaner said it's not that hard

[aman7]

@HanaForward no need for that just do what trojaner said it's not that hard

good thing is its working, but it crashes when we run more than 1 instance, also console is not working, and nobody have confirmed about the freezing issue. so there should be a patch/rollback/workaround.

[Nacho-Neko]

The servers will freeze right after they are up or after some time and after that nobody can connect to them. same here

[Ascivv1]

I haven't gotten a single freeze since using > ./ServerHelper.sh -logfile 2>&1 -NoDefaultConsole +secureserver/

[Trojaner]

good thing is its working, but it crashes when we run more than 1 instance

Did you also change the port?

[aman7]

yes, and as i remember if you start the second instance on same port, it doesnt effect the 1st instance, just 2nd instance doesnt start.

[gegtor]

I can also confirm that no freezes occurred with ./ServerHelper.sh -logfile 2>&1 -NoDefaultConsole +secureserver/

And i also confirm that multiple instances are broken with this script^

[Trojaner]

Posting crash logs would be useful

[Mithallas]

Find it odd that Ascivv1's linux servers are working using trojaner's start script, but everyone else can't host more than one server?
