An extendable auto-updater script suitable for various Steam game servers.
- Automatic update-checking by running SteamCMD, and determining if a restart is needed by reading its output;
- Can be used on servers running GNU Screen and tmux as backend shell.
- Uses modularized design, and is easily extendable by writing
restartfunctions for different game servers accordingly (PRs are welcome).
| Server | Plugin |
|---|---|
| Don't Starve Together | dstds |
| …… | …… |
First, set up the configuration files by editing updater.conf, and conf files under plugins/ directory (Check the Wiki page for details);
Then, execute ./steaming_updater.sh <Shell> <Plugin>
Example: auto-updating a Don't Starve Together server running inside tmux:
./steaming_updater.sh tmux dstds
If the script executed with no errors, it can be added into crontab as a scheduled task.
Example: To execute the auto-updater script every hour, and output logs:
0 * * * * ~/steaming_updater/steaming_updater.sh tmux dstds >> ~/steaming_updater/dstds.log 2>&1
