Updating. #78

Open Haidies-AU opened 2 weeks ago

Haidies-AU commented 2 weeks ago

I use this system to run an Ark Survival: Ascended cluster. Every time there is a large update, the system seems to stop functioning. After the first detection of the update the log file will end with "Updating Regular Build." Each successive check results in "PS>TerminatingError(): "System error.""

I have to go and manually delete the lock file and update each server one by one.

Is there a way to use a download cache? Update the first map, then copy the install across to the rest. Or even just use a single install and just run multiple instances?

You can use the same server folder for multiple instances.

Replace the value of $Name by a plain text folder name for the following configuration options:

Server Installation Path

Path = ".\servers\$Name"

Server configuration folder

ConfigFolder = ".\servers\$Name\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer"

Server Executable

Exec = ".\servers\$Name\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe"

Disable backups and auto-update for all but the main instance. Set UsePID to $false in the main instance in order for the launcher to close all the instances at once before an update.

Will all servers still receive their server shutdown warnings as usual? Or would only the main server get those?

patrix87 commented 1 week ago

No sadly only the main instance will get the warning.
