Two install hacks(scripts)

[soulnothing]

Since im managing more and more servers, I decided to script up my install procedure. I use symlinks for the server, and do fresh install of smaller parts. Overall this is really really simple, however its alot of commands to enter .

steam-install. Installs a set list of games. This needs to be run for a fresh install, and after the link script. I didnt include the wget for steam, or hldupdate. Those arent that hard. It needs to be run after the link script for simple files, like the cfg files, top level txt files etc.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

steam="/home/srcd/steam"
target="/home/srcd/server"
$steam -command update -game tf -dir $target
$steam -command update -game insurgency -dir $target
$steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir $target
$steam -command update -game dods -dir $target
$steam -command update -game tfc -dir $target
$steam -command update -game dod -dir $target
$steam -command update -game synergy -dir $target
$steam -command update -game zps -dir $target
$steam -command update -game diprip -dir $target
$steam -command update -game redorchestra -dir $target
$steam -command update -game garrysmod -dir $target
$steam -command update -game dystopia -dir $target
$steam -command update -game insurgency -dir $target
$steam -command update -game esmod -dir $target
$steam -command update -game left4dead -dir $target

Link, this is too simply symlink all the files together. Yes i know, steam-install will automatically create some of these directories, i just like to do it for the sake of things.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
source="/home/srcd/server"
target="/home/srcd/server2"

Simply edit the source and target paths to your paths. Yes i know this can be done more elegantly, and done better, however this was a quick hack i did in like 10 minutes.

I have ~10 servers total running off symlinks and they run fine. Im looking into unionfs as well but this works for now

[BehaartesEtwas]

this is a little overdone... it probably can be made with a less than 10 line script using find ;-)

but i agree, symlinking the servers is a good idea, i am doing this as well. it eases the updates a lot and can also be used to "sync" configurations between similar servers and making backups only of important files.

[janne]

symlinks are great. can be done with
cp -s -R $source/* $target

I didnt know you could cp symlinks. Like i said quick hack done in a couple of minutes. Figured id post it in case anyone else could us it. It was really hackish, i just used nano find and replace instances.

[BehaartesEtwas]

oh, janne, thats even easier than find, I did not though of this ;-)

[skyride]

Hmm....

I'll keep seperate servers and just do mount --bind for maps folder only thanks
