# Game Server Documentation Generation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This directory contains comprehensive game server hosting documentation for 143+ games. The documentation follows a consistent template structure based on the Minecraft server guide.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Generated Documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In November 2024, we generated comprehensive documentation for 98 game servers that were previously in the "todo" category. Each game now has:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Quick Navigation Menu** - Easy access to all sections
|
||||||
|
- **Quick Info** - Default ports, protocols, RAM requirements, engine info
|
||||||
|
- **Network Ports** - Detailed port tables with firewall configuration examples
|
||||||
|
- **Installation & Setup** - System requirements and installation steps
|
||||||
|
- **Server Configuration** - Configuration files and essential settings
|
||||||
|
- **Startup Parameters** - Command-line parameters and service setup
|
||||||
|
- **Troubleshooting** - Common issues and solutions
|
||||||
|
- **Performance Optimization** - Tuning and monitoring tips
|
||||||
|
- **Security Best Practices** - Firewall, passwords, updates, DDoS protection
|
||||||
|
- **Additional Resources** - External references and community links
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Documentation Structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each game documentation folder contains:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
gamename/
|
||||||
|
├── index.php - Main documentation content
|
||||||
|
├── metadata.json - Category, name, description, order
|
||||||
|
└── icon.png/jpg - Game icon (optional)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### metadata.json Format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"name": "Game Name",
|
||||||
|
"description": "Brief description for the game",
|
||||||
|
"category": "game",
|
||||||
|
"order": 1
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Categories
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Documentation is organized into categories:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **game** - Game server documentation (143+ servers)
|
||||||
|
- **mods** - Mod/plugin documentation
|
||||||
|
- **panel** - Panel-specific documentation
|
||||||
|
- **troubleshooting** - General troubleshooting guides
|
||||||
|
- **other** - Other documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Generation Tool
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The documentation was generated using the `generate_game_docs.py` script located in `/tools/`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Data Sources
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The generator uses multiple data sources:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **XML Configurations** (`/modules/config_games/server_configs/*.xml`)
|
||||||
|
- Port configurations
|
||||||
|
- Configuration file paths
|
||||||
|
- Custom fields and parameters
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **YAML Knowledgepack** (`/modules/billing/docs/gameserver_knowledgepack_v2.yaml`)
|
||||||
|
- Network port details
|
||||||
|
- System requirements
|
||||||
|
- Startup commands
|
||||||
|
- Troubleshooting tips
|
||||||
|
- External references
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Template Structure** (Based on Minecraft documentation)
|
||||||
|
- Consistent formatting
|
||||||
|
- Comprehensive coverage
|
||||||
|
- User-friendly navigation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Running the Generator
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
cd /home/runner/work/GSP/GSP
|
||||||
|
python3 tools/generate_game_docs.py
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The script will:
|
||||||
|
1. Load XML configurations and YAML knowledgepack
|
||||||
|
2. Find all folders with `category: "todo"` in metadata.json
|
||||||
|
3. Generate comprehensive PHP documentation for each game
|
||||||
|
4. Update metadata.json to change category to "game"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

# Game Server Documentation Generation - Implementation Summary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Task Completed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Successfully generated comprehensive hosting documentation for **98 game servers** that were previously in the "TODO" category, bringing the total documented game servers to **143**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Approach
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Analysis Phase
|
||||||
|
- Examined the existing Minecraft documentation as the reference template
|
||||||
|
- Analyzed the `docs.php` file to understand the documentation framework
|
||||||
|
- Reviewed available data sources:
|
||||||
|
- XML server configurations (`/modules/config_games/server_configs/*.xml`)
|
||||||
|
- YAML knowledgepack (`/modules/billing/docs/gameserver_knowledgepack_v2.yaml`)
|
||||||
|
- Existing documentation structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Implementation
|
||||||
|
Created a Python script (`tools/generate_game_docs.py`) that:
|
||||||
|
- Loads and parses 244 XML configuration files
|
||||||
|
- Loads YAML knowledgepack with detailed info for 20 games
|
||||||
|
- Finds all folders with `category: "todo"` in their metadata.json
|

||||||
|
<li><strong>Check server IP:</strong> Use external IP, not localhost</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Router/NAT:</strong> Ensure port forwarding is configured</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<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>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

|
<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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|

|
||||||
|
<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>

|
||||||
|
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
<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>
|
||||||

|
</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

|
<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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Monitoring</h3>

||||||
|
<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>

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

|
||||||
|
<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

|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>

|
||||||
|
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf

|
||||||
|
<h4>Server not listed or query fails</h4>
|
||||||
|
<p>Open 27015/udp and 27015/tcp; check -ip/-port; ensure sv_lan 0; verify external firewall/NAT.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>Workshop maps not downloading</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>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>
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
<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 $(pgrep -f server)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Restart server regularly via cron if needed
|
||||||
|
0 4 * * * /home/gameserver/restart.sh
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>
|
||||||
|
<pre><code># Increase file descriptor limits
|
||||||
|
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>Set up monitoring to track server health:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>CPU and memory usage</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Network traffic and latency</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Player count and activity</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Error rates and crash logs</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Backup Strategy</h3>
|
||||||
|
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
|
||||||
|
# backup.sh - Run via cron
|
||||||
|
DATE=$(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="troubleshooting">🔧 Troubleshooting</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>Not visible on internet list</h4>
|
||||||
|
<p>Forward UDP 27960; set dedicated 2; verify master server reachability; avoid NAT loopback issues.</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

<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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning

|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"

||||||
|
<li>Network traffic and latency</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Player count and activity</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Error rates and crash logs</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
# 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 .

<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

<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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
<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>

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

||||||
|
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf

|
||||||
|
# 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

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# 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>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>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

|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>

|
||||||
|
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
|
||||||
|
BACKUP_DIR="/backups/gameserver"
|
||||||
|
SERVER_DIR="/home/gameserver/server"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Create backup
|
||||||
|

<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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
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>

||||||
|
</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>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Consider DDoS protection services (Cloudflare, OVH, etc.)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Implement rate limiting where supported</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Monitor for unusual traffic patterns</li>

<h2 id="troubleshooting">🔧 Troubleshooting</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>Server not listed or query fails</h4>
|
||||||
|
<p>Open 27015/udp and 27015/tcp; check -ip/-port; ensure sv_lan 0; verify external firewall/NAT.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>Workshop maps not downloading</h4>
|
||||||
|
<p>Ensure -authkey is present; server has internet access; use +host_workshop_collection and +workshop_start_map or fall back to FastDL.</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 $(pgrep -f server)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Restart server regularly via cron if needed
|
||||||
|
0 4 * * * /home/gameserver/restart.sh
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>
|
||||||
|
<pre><code># Increase file descriptor limits
|
||||||
|
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>Set up monitoring to track server health:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>CPU and memory usage</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Network traffic and latency</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Player count and activity</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Error rates and crash logs</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Backup Strategy</h3>
|
||||||
|
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
|
||||||
|
# backup.sh - Run via cron
|
||||||
|
DATE=$(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>
|
||||||

||||||
|
<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>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Performance Issues</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>Server Lag</h4>
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|

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

<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|

|
||||||
|
</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.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"

|
||||||
|
# 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

|
||||||
|
<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

|
</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

|
||||||
|
</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>
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
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>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>Server not listed or query fails</h4>
|
||||||
|
<p>Open 27015/udp and 27015/tcp; check -ip/-port; ensure sv_lan 0; verify external firewall/NAT.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4>Workshop maps not downloading</h4>
|
||||||
|
<p>Ensure -authkey is present; server has internet access; use +host_workshop_collection and +workshop_start_map or fall back to FastDL.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

<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>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"

|
<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>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<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

|
<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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning

||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"

||||||
|
<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

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>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>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

</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||

||||||
|
<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

|
||||||
|
# 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
|
||||||

||||||
|
sudo lsof -i :[PORT]
|
||||||
|
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep [PORT]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Kill the process or change server port
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
<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>

<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|

|
||||||
|
</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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning

||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"

|
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

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Restart server regularly via cron if needed

|
<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 $(pgrep -f server)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Restart server regularly via cron if needed
|
||||||
|
0 4 * * * /home/gameserver/restart.sh
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>
|
||||||
|
<pre><code># Increase file descriptor limits
|
||||||
|
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Network tuning
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>Set up monitoring to track server health:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>CPU and memory usage</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Network traffic and latency</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Player count and activity</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Error rates and crash logs</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Backup Strategy</h3>
|
||||||
|
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
|
||||||
|
# backup.sh - Run via cron
|
||||||
|
DATE=$(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>
