The main goal of this projet is help people to easily set up a unturned server.
I tried to keep the installation the simplest as possible.
The only requiment is to run the scripts on Ubuntu 16.04 TSL. I tested the script on newer Ubuntu versions however it sucked installing some libs (If you fell confortable to send a pull request fixing this it would be nice 😜)
Download the files from this repository and run:
$ ./installServer.sh:
What does this script do?
- Installs required libs on Ubuntu
- Creates a folder
SteamCMDfor steam - Creates a folder
unturnedfor Unturned game
- installServer.sh - Installs the server as explained on last section
- startServer.sh - Starts a screen session called
unturnedrunning the server - stopServer.sh - Saves the game then stops the
unturnedscreen sesssion - updateServer.sh - Checks if the server is up to date. If it is not, so it stops the current server running when applicable and starts it again. (Need to fix it 🔥)
- saveSever.sh - Sends a save command into screen session
It is necessary to get in screen session:
$ screen -r unturned
After type the command you want then press Ctrl + A followed by d to detach the screen session.
It seems that it has a issue to up to date the game if you do not save the game manually (I lost all the progress since last save after update the game 😭😱💢).
It will be needed to create a cronjob that executes each 30 minutos, for example.
To edit the cronjob file execute the following commnad:
$ crontab -e
So add the following cronjob to execute the saveServer.sh each 10 minutos and redirects the output in an save.log file.
*/10 * * * * {saveServer.sh folder}/saveServer.sh > {saveServer.sh folder}/save.log
Change the following line in updateServer.sh to the folder where unturned is installed:
HOMEDIRECTORY="/home/{your username}"
