wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Marlbogaro/altv-install/main/altv.sh
chmod +x altv.sh
./altv.sh
Now you have all server files that you need. Let's try to start server with start.sh
./altv-server
It is possible to run the alt:V server as a systemd.service. This gives you the following advantages:
- You can make the server automatically restart when it crashes
- You can easily start/stop it with simple commands, without navigating to the server directory
- You can add the alt:V server to the autostart
- Adding the service
Create the file /lib/systemd/system/altv.service with any editor of your choice. In this example we're using nano.
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/altv.service
Paste the following snippet inside this file and modify it to your needs. Make sure to change the paths and user/group, otherwise it won't work.
[Unit]
Description=alt:V Server
After=network.target
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/your/server/
User=altv
Group=altv
Type=simple
ExecStart=/path/to/your/server/altv-server
ExecStop=kill -15 $MAINPID
PIDFile=/path/to/your/server/altv.pid
RestartSec=15
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Now save the file and enable the service with
systemctl enable altv.service
Congratz! The service has been successfully added. alt:V will now automatically boot with your server and restarts, if it crashes. You also now have access to the following commands:
service altv start # start the server
service altv stop # stop the server
service altv status # get the current status of your server with console output
service altv restart # restart the server
