FireFly - Deploy Factorio Servers instant (FR/PL/CA/AU)

[Ne00n]

Hey Guys,

Since I got spare resources, I wanted to offer free Gameservers to Players that can be Deployed Instant if needed.
You can even run them for a longer period of Time, like 5 Days or even longer, just keep Playing on it, it will extend itself.

So, when you play 1 Hour per Day, the Server will extend itself for 24 Hours.
But after the Deploy, you need to be Online within 10 minutes, otherwise the server will be deleted.

You can try it here: https://fireflygaming.net/

Planned:

- Version switch, currently only 14.23 done
- Different Locations, currently only Europe (France)
- Upload/Download for Saves done

If you have any suggestions, lemme know.

Hey,

I deployed another Update:

- You can now select between multiple versions (if the version is not listed, let me know)
- We added Support for FTP, so you can Upload/Download and edit the config files how you like
- We also added a new Game: Minecraft

Wow, really impressive, and this for a free service.

But i think you should display how many instances of a game are running currently (eventuelly above the deploy button) so you could estimate for yourself how laggy the server will be

[Ne00n]

Thanks.

Well I have limits in place for every machine and game, so everything should be fine, we also monitoring the resource usage.
If a lag should happen, we will look into that and reduce the limits if needed.

How do you manage changes to the map- or server-setting files? can i upload them via (S)FTP and restart the server?

[Ne00n]

Yea, you can upload Mods/Maps and change the config files with SFTP.

Its planned that we add Montreal as Location.

We also added a Statuspage, You can view it here: https://www.nixstats.com/report/597b964 ... 7bcf7aadb3 or under Status at FireFlyGaming.net.

Canada is live, enjoy.

If you have suggestions, lemme know.

Could you by any chance add 0.15.33?

Thanks for your service by the way! Any way to donate to you?

[Ne00n]

I added 0.15.33, but currently you still need to make a backup, kill the old server and upload your backup. There is no upgrade feature yet.
However games like Garrysmod will have automatic updates via SteamCMD soon.

Yea, you can donate here if you like: https://donorbox.org/fireflygaming
Also, I will add Australia as location soon.

Donating €3 doesn't seem to work because of the minimum donation amount. (Sorry I'm poor)

Also, would you be able to let us run with a scenario file using --start-server-load-scenario?

Thanks for the hard work as always!

[Ne00n]

The donating issue has been fixed, somehow the minimal amount was 3.30 and not 3.

Theoretically it should be possible, but currently I am working to bring Australia up, got some issues with it.
After that I will take a look into that.

[Ne00n]

The Australia location is live, currently only for Factorio.
I will add other games this week.

Regarding the scenarios I am working on it, currently I needed to push other updates.

[Ne00n]

We pushed some updates since my latest post:

Automated updates for Garry's Mod are in place
We added a new Location: Poland
All available versions of Vanilla and Spigot have been added to Minecraft.
We increased the storage for Garry's Mod to 15GB instead of 10GB.

Have fun.

You can now upgrade your Server, when a new version becomes available with one click!

[Ne00n]

New Factorio releases are available now within 15 minutes after release.
We also did fixed a upgrade bug, which made it Impossible to upgrade in certain situations.
