Installation

As root or sudoer :

Script

An installation script called install.sh is available to perform the commands listed in the Manual installation section.

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crazy-max/csgo-server-launcher/master/install.sh --no-check-certificate
$ chmod +x install.sh
$ ./install.sh

Manual

$ dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install -y -q libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 curl gdb screen tar wget
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crazy-max/csgo-server-launcher/master/csgo-server-launcher.sh -O /etc/init.d/csgo-server-launcher --no-check-certificate
$ chmod +x /etc/init.d/csgo-server-launcher
$ update-rc.d csgo-server-launcher defaults
$ mkdir -p /etc/csgo-server-launcher/
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crazy-max/csgo-server-launcher/master/csgo-server-launcher.conf -O /etc/csgo-server-launcher/csgo-server-launcher.conf --no-check-certificate

And you have to create the dedicated user steam and the steamcmd directory :

$ useradd -m steam
$ mkdir -p /var/steamcmd
$ chown -R steam. /var/steamcmd/

Configuration

Before running the script, you must change some vars in the config file /etc/csgo-server-launcher/csgo-server-launcher.conf.
If you change the location of the config file, do not forget to change the path in the csgo-server-launcher script file for the CONFIG_FILE var (default /etc/csgo-server-launcher/csgo-server-launcher.conf).

stop - Stop the server and close the screen loaded.
status - Display the status of the server (screen down or up)
restart - Restart the server (stop && start)
console - Display the server console where you can enter commands.
update - Update the server based on the PARAM_UPDATE then save the log file in LOG_DIR and send an e-mail to LOG_EMAIL if the var is filled.
create - Create a server (script must be configured first).

Example : /etc/init.d/csgo-server-launcher start

Automatic update with cron

You can automatically update your game server by calling the script in a crontab. Just add this line in your crontab and change the folder if necessary.

0 4 * * * cd /etc/init.d/ && ./csgo-server-launcher update >/dev/null 2>&1

This will update your server every day at 4 am.

FAQ

cannot create directory "/var/steamcmd"

You've got the following message when you try to install or update steam :

mkdir: cannot create directory "/var/steamcmd": Permission denied

It's because you are using a specific user (instead of root) :

chown -R steam. /var/steamcmd/

Replace steam with your current USER

steamcmd: No such file or directory
