<h2 id="troubleshooting">🔧 Troubleshooting</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Check Server Logs</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># View recent log entries
|
||||
tail -f server.log
|
||||
|
||||
# Or check system logs
|
||||
journalctl -u gameserver -f
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Port Already in Use</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Find what's using the port
|
||||
sudo lsof -i :[PORT]
|
||||
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep [PORT]
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill the process or change server port
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Missing Dependencies</h4>
|
||||
<p>Ensure all required dependencies are installed. Check the error messages for missing libraries or packages.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Connection Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Can't Connect to Server</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify server is running:</strong> <code>ps aux | grep server</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check port is listening:</strong> <code>netstat -an | grep [PORT]</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify firewall rules</strong> (see Ports section above)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check server IP:</strong> Use external IP, not localhost</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Router/NAT:</strong> Ensure port forwarding is configured</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>High Latency/Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Check server resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk I/O)</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify network bandwidth is adequate</li>
|
||||
<li>Consider server location relative to players</li>
|
||||
<li>Check for background processes consuming resources</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Performance Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<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>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Memory Leaks</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Monitor memory usage
|
||||
free -h
|
||||
top -p $(pgrep -f server)
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart server regularly via cron if needed
|
||||
0 4 * * * /home/gameserver/restart.sh
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<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><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Increase file descriptor limits
|
||||
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf

|
||||
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
|
||||
<p>Set up monitoring to track server health:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>CPU and memory usage</li>
|
||||
<li>Network traffic and latency</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"
|
||||
|
||||
# Create backup
|
||||
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$DATE.tar.gz -C $SERVER_DIR .
|
||||
|
||||
# Keep only last 7 days
|
||||
find $BACKUP_DIR -name "backup_*.tar.gz" -mtime +7 -delete
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="security">Security Best Practices</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Firewall Configuration</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Minimal firewall - only allow necessary ports
|
||||
sudo ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
|
||||
sudo ufw enable
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Strong Passwords</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Use strong, unique passwords for admin/RCON access</li>
|
||||
<li>Never use default passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Change passwords regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Don't share admin credentials unnecessarily</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Regular Updates</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep server software updated to the latest stable version</li>
|
||||
<li>Update operating system and dependencies regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Subscribe to security advisories for your game</li>
|
||||
<li>Test updates on a staging server before production deployment</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Access Control</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Limit SSH access to specific IPs if possible</li>
|
||||
<li>Use SSH keys instead of passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable root login via SSH</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement fail2ban or similar intrusion prevention</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>DDoS Protection</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Consider DDoS protection services (Cloudflare, OVH, etc.)</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement rate limiting where supported</li>
|
||||
<li>Monitor for unusual traffic patterns</li>
|
||||
<li>Have an incident response plan</li>
