=====================================
Running the server with systemd
--------------------------------------
The ufoai-server service runs a dedicated server as the user
"Debian-ufoai". This is a simple setup suitable for running one server
on a machine.
The user's home directory is /var/games/ufoai-server, so you can find UFO:AI
files in the /var/games/ufoai-server/.ufoai directory.
By default the server will use
/usr/lib/ufoai-server/base/debian_server.cfg,
for configuration which is a symlink to
/etc/ufoai-server/server.cfg.
Disabling the server
-------------------------
To disable the service, use the facilities provided by systemd.
systemd disable ufoai-server.service
Running the server with cron and screen
---------------------------------------
One alternative way to run the server is to run it in a screen(1) session
from a cron @reboot action. This can be used to run multiple instances
of the server; you'll need to set a different net_port on each server after
the first, and it's safest to give each server a unique fs_homepath so they
don't overwrite each other's configuration files.
To do this, you could put something like this in the Debian-ufoai user's
crontab (don't break the long lines!):
@reboot screen -d -m -S ffa /usr/games/ufoai-server +set fs_homepath /var/games/ufoai-server/ffa +exec ffa.cfg
@reboot screen -d -m -S ctf /usr/games/ufoai-server +set fs_homepath /var/games/ufoai-server/ctf +set net_port 54321 +exec ctf.cfg
or in /etc/crontab or a file in /etc/cron.d:
@reboot Debian-ufoai screen -d -m -S ffa /usr/games/ufoai-server +set fs_homepath /var/games/ufoai-server/ffa +exec ffa.cfg
@reboot Debian-ufoai screen -d -m -S ctf /usr/games/ufoai-server +set fs_homepath /var/games/ufoai-server/ctf +set net_port 54321 +exec ctf.cfg
If you do that, you can access the servers' consoles by attaching a screen
session to them:
sudo -u Debian-ufoai screen -r ffa
sudo -u Debian-ufoai screen -r ctf
