Tail ftp mount #43

Open Dinip opened 5 years ago

Dinip commented 5 years ago

Hello, Since I have minecraft hosted on a minecraft dedicated host (verygames) I can't use the tail -F /PATH_TO_MINECRAFT_SERVER_INSTALL/logs/latest.log | grep --line-buffered ": <" | while read x ; do echo -ne $x | curl -X POST -d @- http://YOUR_URL/minecraft/hook ; done command on minecraft machine. I've mounted the ftp directory to a linux server that I own and tried to use the log file as a local file but it was not "reading" it and displaying on discord. I found this on the internet. Seems that when a remote directory is mounted there is a diferent filesystem provided by FUSE. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/347554/doing-a-tail-f-on-a-text-file-over-sshfs-not-working-why This is the error that shows on trying to run the bot with local file reading from the mounted directory: image Is there any way to adapt the index.js to read this? Thanks! đź‘Ť

Hello, I am also not running the bot on the same machine as my minecraft server, did you managed to solve this issue?

I’m on mobile right now but could you perhaps use a combo of curl -u user:passwd “ftp://server:port/logs/latest.log” 2> /dev/null | tail -F?

I’ve used CURL to grep latest.log before... but I’m not sure if you can get a constant stream from it until I can try it.

Edit: tried it, doesn’t work

I found a program that lets you tail over ftp .. its called ftptail and is written in Perl, you need to install 'Term::ReadKey' from CPan. Perhaps it will help... requires a bit of argument tweaking but is pretty doable. Example: ./ftptail -n 3 -s 5 -p path/to/file-containing-passwd sampletext@example.com/logs/latest.log > path/for/latest.log

-n 3 is the line count to grab, I set it to 3 -s 5 is the check period (in seconds), I set it to 5

The main limitation is that it does not have the equivalent to tail's -F argument, so as soon as the file rolls the program closes, you either need to build a watchdog or have it in a while true loop.

I currently use this for one of my servers that I can only get FTP access, and works decently .. I haven't seen a lot of players talking at the same time, then I would probably need to tweak the check period. I had an issue where skulker was sending multiple messages to discord if i kept the line count too high, I put it to 3 and it just worked and I haven't played around with it since ... you could probably bump it up to 5 or so.
