[linux] Dedicated server init script

For those interested in a headless factorio server running on linux I've cooked up a init script
https://github.com/Bisa/factorio-init
For issues and general support, please use the github issue tracker.
Looking for a guide how to run factorio on linux? Check out the
wiki
Feel free to contribute if you find somewhere to improve.

Hi Bisa, tried to setup a linux based server (CentOS) on my VPS but i get error
Code: Select all
could not find a pid with invocation:
as you can see linkswere setup correctly and points to the binary file.. any advice?
many thanks
Let me cehck if I can figure out why on my setup - stay tuned.

Come to think of it, the debug log is not nessesarily giving you an error, just information from the find_pid() method, is the server not starting correctly after you use the load-save command?
To try this, please run "service factorio status" after you run "service factorio load-save server" and give me the output.
(btw, seelcting text in Putty automatically copis it to your clipboard so you do not need to screenshot the window)

Code: Select all
[root@SimCraftWorkShop ~]# service factorio load-save server
DEBUG LOG: no pidfile found
DEBUG LOG: could not find a pid with invocation: "/home/minecraft/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --start-server server --autosave-interval 10"
DEBUG LOG: last modified save: /home/minecraft/factorio/saves/server.zip
DEBUG LOG: using existing server.zip
and then after I run Status and get
Code: Select all
[root@SimCraftWorkShop ~]# service factorio status
DEBUG LOG: no pidfile found
DEBUG LOG: could not find a pid with invocation: "/home/minecraft/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --start-server server --autosave-interval 10"
Factorio is not running.
The Init code works fine and great (which i like very much) perhaps i'm missing some dependencies for the binary to run?
here's my pid list at time of testing this

I see, please note that I've updated the script to fix a screen dependancy (but seeing you run minecraft I assume you already have screen installed)
Also, try starting the binary from console with the same invocation (as the factorio user!):
Code: Select all
/home/minecraft/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --start-server server --autosave-interval 10
If you are able to run the binay you should get a log outputting to your console (press ctrl+c to exit)

yeah i have had a mc server running on it, the minecraft dir is just the default user space of the VPS, (easier for me to access in FTP
)
so i've tried what you recommended after updating the scripts and config and then turned the debug info back to 1 and i ended up with this result after running just the binary without using the script
Code: Select all
[root@SimCraftWorkShop ~]# service factorio status
Factorio is not running.

try ldd on the factorio binary, i.e:
Code: Select all
ldd /home/minecraft/factorio/bin/x64/factorio
This will give you a list of libraries and if they are installed or missing, please see

Thanks to
Narc0tic we now have a more robust update process.
Also note that I've re-used the previous updater and made it into an installer of sorts.

This is very nice indeed. If my server uptime weren't measured in the hundreds of days (and if I weren't the only one playing on it), I'd want this nice init script to help me make sure everything was running right.
Excellent stuff, good sir, keep up the excellent work.

This has made running Factorio on a small footprint linux box much easier for a person like me with minimum linux knowledge (and not wanting to waste 1Gig of memory on WindowsOS).
one thing to note: Your implementation of the Updating via Narc's script, if it finds multiple updates, it will only apply the first one. Can workaround with multiple runs of "update" until it says it is done, but its a small thing to point out.

Thank you, I'm glad it's of use =)
As for multiple updates, I'll have to have a look at the behaviour and see if I can come up with a way to handle it, I've registered an issue on github to keep track of it:

Now supports extra binary arguments (I've added --disallow-commands and --peer-to-peer as defaults)
(as of now, I'm only updating the
master branch, I will get to denoting releases once I've figured out a way to correctly follow the semantic versioning paradigm)

Hello, thank you for the script!
I was trying to set up the headless server (x64 12.7) with your init script on my ubuntu vps but I am extremely novice, I am mostly very good at googling and copy-pasting commands in the console.
The server by itself works with no problems, but when I launch your script with "service factorio start" i get a command not found at those lines:
Code: Select all
EXTRA_BINARGS="--disallow-commands --peer-to-peer"
INVOCATION="${BINARY} --start-server ${SAVE_NAME} --autosave-interval ${AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL} --autosave-slots ${AUTOSAVE_SLOTS} --latency-ms ${LATENCY}" "${EXTRA_BINARGS}"
Where the binary location is
Code: Select all
BINARY=/opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio
Calling those commands directly on the binary works without any problem...
Code: Select all

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for the help.
EDIT: I found a bug in the config file:
In line 70 of config.example there is:
Code: Select all
INVOCATION="${BINARY} --start-server ${SAVE_NAME} --autosave-interval ${AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL} --autosave-slots ${AUTOSAVE_SLOTS} --latency-ms ${LATENCY}" "${EXTRA_BINARGS}"
And it should be:
Code: Select all
INVOCATION="${BINARY} --start-server ${SAVE_NAME} --autosave-interval ${AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL} --autosave-slots ${AUTOSAVE_SLOTS} --latency-ms ${LATENCY} ${EXTRA_BINARGS}"
So basically the extra args should be under the same " " in INVOCATION, else it won't recognize the commands... Now it works like a charme!

Thanks to you for the script, today I tested your script with narc0tiq's updater script and it was smooth and cool!
P.s.: it's strech not streTch

Can you tell me what exactly the --peer-to-peer flag does?
I've noticed that with it we get an "Uploading" message any time someone connects, yet without it, we don't get the message, but still appear to freeze while it's uploaded. I'm just looking for some further details on how this works.
Thanks.

It toggles the use of peer-to-peer when starting the "server", it's the equivalent of toggling the peer-to-peer checkbox when starting a multiplayer from your GUI client.
As for the technical details on what --peer-to-peer actually does please refer to the lengthy discussion regarding factorios peer-to-peer model (my script simply uses the binary and passes arguments to it).
In short, it toggles the mode in which the server acts as a strictly peer-to-peer "peer" or takes on a more traditional server role where other peers need not communicate with others just the server.
