GSP Windows Agent
Cygwin-based agent that lets the GameServer Panel manage Windows Server 2019/2022 hosts. It mirrors the Linux agent feature set: signed RPC transport, GNU Screen session management, and SteamCMD-aware installers.
Highlights
- One-click installer (
Install/onceinstall_agent.bat) that bootstraps Cygwin, required packages, and thegameserverservice account. - Task Scheduler entry that keeps the agent running after reboots.
- Helper scripts (
agent_conf.sh,rebase_post_ins.bat, etc.) for maintaining the environment. - Markdown documentation under
documentation/agent-guide.md.
Quick start
- Clone or download the repository to
C:\\gsp-agent. - Right-click
Install\\onceinstall_agent.bat→ “Run as administrator”. - Open the bundled Cygwin terminal and configure the agent:
cd /OGP bash agent_conf.sh -p "gameserverPassword" - Edit
C:\\OGP\\Cfg\\Config.pmso it matches the server entry you created in the GameServer Panel. - Start the “OGP agent start on boot” scheduled task (or reboot).
Startup and auto-update
Use C:\\OGP64\\agent_start.bat or C:\\OGP64\\OGP\\Install\\agent_start.bat to start the agent manually. The launcher checks the bundled Cygwin root, including C:\\OGP64\\bin\\bash.exe, then falls back to C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash.exe and C:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe. Manual failures pause by default; set GSP_AGENT_NO_PAUSE=1 for service wrappers that should not block.
C:\\OGP\\Cfg\\bash_prefs.cfg controls optional restart-time agent updates:
agent_auto_update=0
agent_update_repo_url=http://forge.runlevelsystems.com/dev/GSP.git
agent_update_branch=Panel-unstable
agent_update_raw_url=http://forge.runlevelsystems.com/dev/GSP/raw/branch/Panel-unstable/Agent-Windows/OGP64/OGP/ogp_agent.pl
When agent_auto_update=1, the launcher downloads to a temporary file, rejects HTML/404/empty/non-Perl content, validates with perl -c, backs up the current ogp_agent.pl, and rolls back if validation fails. This restart-time updater may replace only /OGP/ogp_agent.pl; it must not touch Cfg/ files or other installer-generated state.
