Add an easy to way to manage mods #7

Open mschnitzer opened 1 year ago

There should be an easy way to manage mods. An idea which I already started implementing ( while working on #2 ) is to provide a natively integrated tool shipped with the container, called asa-ctrl that provides a subcommand for easy mod installation/managing.

I'm using "sudo " to move files in & out of the host system, edit, and so on. The one that makes me really nervus is "sudo vi /var/lib/docker/volumes/asa-server_server-files-1/_data/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/GameUserSettings.ini" or having to "sudo ls" my way around to find things. I'd LOVE some way to mount it to a the "./asaserver" subdirectory so I could make backups. Even better if I could script it to shut the server down, let me muck about and make backups quiesced, then have it restart when I leave the "muck about" mode. Or something. "sudo" for "mucking about" is ... well, scary.

This seems to be unrelated to the context of this issue, could you please create a separate issue for this? I'm happy to proceed the conversation there.

My apologies, and thank you. The "mucking about" had some to do with mod management and other things, which is why it caught my attention. I'll file a new issue as suggested.
