[1.0.0] Error InterruptibleStdioStream.cpp:61: Got EOF on stdin; closing

[MylesM]

I'm setting up a headless Factorio server on Ubuntu 20.04.

When I start the same with systemd, I get the following:

Code: Select all

Error InterruptibleStdioStream.cpp:61: Got EOF on stdin; closing

Interestingly, the game seems to continue running just fine so far.

I don't get this error if I start the server myself (instead of using the service)

Is there something I did wrong with my service file? Or maybe there's something else I did incorrectly?

factorio.service:

I did read that one. It didn't seem to be the same problem. His was timing out, but mine didn't. And using screen didn't seem to make sense as a solution for an issue with systemd because a service running in systemd doesn't have really anything to do with my ssh session anyways.

it is strange that fact of closing IO is outputting as error
all you have to do is keep IO open. so if you running docker image, you don't want to pass -d option (so process will be in foreground), than you just move it to the background.

Unless told otherwise systemd passes /dev/null as stdin, any attempt to read from it will result in an immediate EOF. Since as far as I know factorio doesn't actually read from its stdin, this "error" can be ignored.
