7 Days To Die Game Server Linux Scripts

A set of opinionated scripts used to manage 7 days to die.

[TOC]

Requirements

Required
- tmux
  - Used to run servers in detached sessions
- steamcmd
  - Used to install 7 days to die game servers
  - Important, this MUST be in your PATH variable. This script calls the general installer script which configures steamcmd to be in /usr/local/bin. If this is not in your path, the deployed scripts will NOT work.
Optional
- pv
  - Used to show progress for backup operations

Automatic Installation

Must be ran as root or a user with access to sudo su

bash -c "$(curl https://gitlab.orion-technologies.io/game-servers/7-days-to-die/-/raw/Development/install.bash)"

Defaults

By default all servers start at an offset of 50000 + server id. For instance, if you were to start Server-1, the server id would be 1. As such the port Server-1 would run on is 50001, Server-2 would be 50002, and so on.

By default the base directory for all servers to be installed to is ~/7-Days-To-Die.

Usage

Switch to the sdtd user and source .bash_profile in order to use these scripts assuming automatic installation has been used.

Basic usage:

Installing a server
```
7D2D-Manage install -s 1
```
this would install Server-1 if it didn't exist
Starting a server
```
7D2D-Manage start -s 1
```
this would start Server-1.
Stopping a server
```
7D2D-Manage kill -s 1
```
this would stop Server-1
Updating a server
```
7D2D-Manage update -s 1
```
this would update Server-1
Getting a backup archive of a server
```
7D2D-Manage backup -s 1
```
this would backup Server-1
List installed and running servers
```
7D2D-Manage list -r
```
this would list running servers
```
7D2D-Manage list -i
```
this would list installed servers, note that this only checks if the server directory exists, not if any server files exist within the directory itself

To learn more usage, pass -h to any option, e.g to get base options:

7D2D-Manage -h

and to get, for instance, start options:

7D2D-Manage start -h
