[0.18.38] crash updating with --apply-update

[ThreePounds]

Hello! I'm new to running a headless server and managing linux in general. I'm using narc0tiq's update script to download update packages, that I then try to apply to the server with --apply-update to update it to the newest version. It's currently running 0.18.38, however the problem was already present in 0.18.37 if I remember correctly.

Factorio just crashes (see attached log file).

What am I doing wrong? I tried running the process as root already and changing the ownership of all files to root also.

EDIT: Could it be running out of RAM? It only has 815 MB to work with since I'm using a free-tier AWS server

I stilll have this problem. Can someone help?

How are you guys updating your servers?

The log shows you having only 815MB of ram, so it might run out when updating.

on my headless server i just stop the game and overwrite with the files from the updated version of the experimental build (after backing up of course). it has 32GB of RAM though.
maybe try this method if the automatic method is failing.

In that case I'm out of luck. Currently the free-tier AWS is enough for me and my friend and upgrading it to the next larger tier is hard to justify.

That's what I'm currently doing. I have to download the new install file using wget and then I just extract it on top of the old files. Seems kind of janky to me and prone to cause problems at some point. But I guess it works for now.

good it's working at least.
to be honest it's the way i've always done it (probably because i didn't know any better).
