|
||||
# Some plugins modify same hooks - may conflict
|
||||
<h4>Server Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Monitor resources:</strong> Use <code>htop</code> or <code>top</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check disk I/O:</strong> Use <code>iotop</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Review server logs</strong> for errors or warnings</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Reduce player count</strong> or increase server resources</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Optimize configuration</strong> based on server capacity</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||

||||
free -h
|
||||
top -p $(pgrep -f server)
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart server regularly via cron if needed
|
||||

|
||||
<li>Update to latest Oxide version</li>
|
||||
<li>Limit entities tracked by admin tools</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>

||||
<li>Player count and activity</li>
|
||||
<li>Error rates and crash logs</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Backup Strategy</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# backup.sh - Run via cron
|
||||
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
|
||||
BACKUP_DIR="/backups/gameserver"
|
||||
SERVER_DIR="/home/gameserver/server"

||||
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
