Enshrouded Dedicated Server script-set

enshrouded_dedicated server toolset

Simple Shell script-set to "Monitor / Backup / Update" Enshrouded dedicated servers.

Overview

Server-Side:

• enshrd_steamuser_check : collect server login/logout informations (every minutes), and convert steamID to Username.
• enshrd_backupgrade + enshrd_query + a2squery.py : work together once a day to backup the server map and upgrade server core files with SteamCMD if needed (Optional: proton-update updates Proton-GE to latest version during the process).
• enshrd-api : Flask API Endpoint for serving enshrd_query on port 8080 (password protected)
• All the shell and python scripts need to be placed in the PATH of the "enshrouded user" that runs the server binary (enshrouded_server.exe).
• The "Enshourded User" MUST have "sudo" properly configured for managing the Enshrouded Systemd Service during the Backup / Upgrade process (see "Sample Sudoer" at the end of this document).

Client-Side:

• enshrd_query + a2squery.py scripts are used to get Enshrouded Server status, base informations, Enshrouded SVN Server version, and Steam Username(s) that are currently logged in to the server.

Details

enshrd_query + a2squery.py

• Show Server_Query informations: a2squery.py <server> <port> can be used separately without any private access to the server (cf. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Server_Queries)
• Display Currently connected Steam Usernames
• Display Enshrouded Server Version

enshrd_query -h

Server infos:
  -s|--server <Ip-Hostname>
  -p|--port   <query_port>

  exemple: "enshrd_query <server>:<port>"
  or: "enshrd_query -s <server> -p <port>"
  *** Server infos can be set in script variable to avoid input

Modes:
  [default] No Argument                  # Query All Steam Server Infos
  -u|--user                              # Query currently connected user(s)
  -n|--number                            # Output only the number [0-9] of connected users (used locally for server restart/update)
  -l|--local                             # Used for server-side local run
  -f|--full                              # Output all 'a2s' informations available

Note

requires: python3 pip for SteamQuery lib install and use, ssh access to the server (preferably with a running agent), python3 -m pip install python-a2s

proton-update [Option in enshrd_backupgrade]

• Transparently Update Proton Installation if new latest version is availaible on Github "GloriousEggroll" Repository (cf. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases)
• Defined Proton install directory: <Enshrouded User Homedir>/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/Proton-latest
• Automatic Symlink / test new Proton and its embedded wine64 binaries before installing

ls -lah $HOME/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/

enshrd-api

• Flask API Endpoint : serve enshrd_query informations on port "8080"
• "Password" will be the same as the Enshrouded Game Server (adapt enshrouded_server.json location in app.py)
• "User" does not matter (can be empty)

Note

requires: enshrd_query and 2squery.py in user PATH Setup : Copy enshrd-api folder to Home Folder of the Enshrouded User cd $HOME/enshrd-api; python3 -m venv venv python3 -m pip install python-a2s Flask Flask-HTTPAuth gunicorn
