Factorio Forums

Hey guys,

I just tried to run a Factorio server on CentOS6. However because of the missing GLIBC 2.14 / 2.15 this seems really hard to do..
Is there any possibility, that Factorio headless server will be compiled against a lower version of GLIBC or is there a way to get it running under CentOS6?

Thanks for your answers!

• Download and unpack a Gentoo stage 3 tarball
• mount proc/sys/dev
• copy /etc/resolv.conf
• chroot into it
• add a user

-> up to date environment for running headless Factorio.

Okay, first of all thanks a lot for your answer. However I have some questions left. Do I need full root access for this? Or is it sufficient to get the resolv.conf from gentoo and chroot to it?
Thanks again!

You'd copy the resolv.conf from the host system into the Gentoo installation, then chroot into the Gentoo system. And yes, you'd need root for that. If that's problematic for you, a VM might work instead.
