autostart instances after linux reboot #16

Closed lostsoul6 closed 9 months ago

lostsoul6 commented 10 months ago

Hello there ,

Is there anyway to autostart all instances after server is rebooted ?

dasisdormax commented 10 months ago

You can autostart the server by creating a systemd service file and enabling it.

Unfortunately, my script currently offers no shortcut to make the process easier. But I think that would be a good improvement overall.

Hi @dasisdormax ,

Can you please add option to autostart instances after reboot and also restart instantly after crashing ? I know you said to do it with systemd but there is a problem :

systemd's ExecStart only works as root user and msm throws out an error when running as root : 

**FATAL:**   in danger                                       ( 133)
             in main                                         (  39)
    You are running cs2-server as root. This is unsupported and can
    cause server malfunctions and security issues. Please consider
    using a regular user instead of root.

    If you know what you are doing and want to continue anyway,
    export MSM_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING_ALLOW_ROOT=1 and try again.

Running it as root is a security risk based on what the message shows . I wish you could securely add an option for autostart after reboot and restart instances instantly after crashing .

BTW , what are the risks of running cs2-server as root? what can go wrong ?

@dasisdormax I tried with this but doesn't work : 

[Unit]
Description=public 1 run
After=network.target

[Service]
User=steam
Group=steam
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/cs2-server @public1 start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Any idea how I should achieve this?

You are almost there. I got it to work with Type=forking. So in total, try this one:

[Unit]
Description=public 1 run
After=network.target

[Service]
User=steam
Group=steam
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/cs2-server @public1 start
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
