Gameserver - document update of the gameserver list (perhaps even provide helper script?

[JedMeister]

Note @daymickcorr PR: https://github.com/turnkeylinux-apps/gameserver/pull/6

---

As discussed in the forums, how to update the Gameserver game list is not currently documented.

At the very least it should be documented on the readme / appliance page. But ideally a helper script and confconsole plugin should be provided. Perhaps even an option to do automated updates (e.g. once per week?)?

In the meantime, the manual way to update is:

systemctl stop gameserver
cd /root/gameservers
git pull origin master
systemctl start gameserver

It's failing to run gameserver using default supplied scripts and manually installing LinuxGSM scripts.

@make-believe-agency - sorry I didn't notice your post sooner.

I'm not sure what's wrong and you haven't really given me much info (about what you've done to get to where you are), so it's hard to even guess.

I imagine that by now you've either resolved it, or given up and moved onto something else. For future reference (and/or if you do still want a hand trying to work it out) then it's best to post on our forums (requires separate free website user account). Also, copy/pasting the text if you can is better than a screenshot. The screenshot has cut out some text that would be useful (the line about minecraft as well as the line after).

@JedMeister that was me who started that thread.

I was cleaning up my github repos and noticed I forked the gameserver repo and updated the docs, but never created a pull request.

I might re-fork it and do it again if you wouldbe willing to accept a pull request with instructions on how to update the gameserver list?

Closing now as PR has been merged.

Reopening as the documentation was only part of it... (Doh...)

Hi @daymickcorr - Apologies for slow resposne. Great work on the script. I haven't yet had a proper look at it, but from a glance it looks great. I'll aim to have a closer look ASAP.
