Re: [hlds_linux] Offtopic sort of: Server deployment tools
It depends on what he means by shared. Since he's speaking about hosting services I assume he means multiple server owner/operators on shared resources (hosts). This probably means a single management interface with multiple hosts on the back end and at least semi-automated service provisioning. Wrench isn't for that kind of thing, though it's public domain and you are free to use it as an example for how to do some simple things like new installs, starts, stops, automatic updates, crash recovery/watchdogging, etc. It doesn't do any kind of configuration though (server.cfg). wrench is a command line tool, and in a service hosting environment, I imagine you would not want to give your customers shell access, or even console access since once you have console and the right mod plugin you could execute a shell. Wrench is for when you own the host via hardware or VPS and want to run one or more srcds games on it. It does not have a pointy clicky web UI, nor does it handle multiple hosts. Google for srcds web control panel. There are definitely some commercial options out there, and some open source stuff too.

Re: [hlds_linux] Offtopic sort of: Server deployment tools
One beefy server hosting multiple instances of TF2, CS:GO, or even other-engine games. I've been putting together something for TF2 specifically that deploys a bunch of symlinks and then a custom config for each instance, but I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel, and I'd like to support other games. I'll check out Wrench and the control panel stuff you've mentioned. On Wed, 2014-07-09 at 04:22 -0700, Jesse Molina wrote: It depends on what he means by shared.

Re: [hlds_linux] Offtopic sort of: Server deployment tools
Yea, try wrench; http://forums.srcds.com/viewpost/118741 It supports TF2, CSS, CSGO, L4D, L4D2, HL2DM, and FoF. It does symlinking like you want with a single real installation and each linked installation gets it's own directory structure like it was a a real installation.

Re: [hlds_linux] Optional TF2 update released....beta maps only
Some way of making servers restart on optional updates would be useful for servers running those maps, saw a quite few people trying to join a server (and failing) past this optional update.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
Huh, the previous beta map update was optional. Are all beta map updates going to be mandatory going forward or was this just a change to disable the breadbox crafting?
