[Bug]: (Some) command/scripts don't utilize proper path(s) [running both PZ & SDTD servers. Same on both] #4387

irobot73 · 2023-11-23T14:47:24Z

User story

As a server admin I want the included scripts to utilize the proper paths to execute properly & successfully

Game

SDTDServer

Linux distro

Ubuntu 22.04

Command

command: update, command: backup

Further information

Part of #4384 ??

(Some) Scripts/commands, when executed via console, would successfully execute & complete (though incomplete [backup])

Appears they are pointing to the /app folder & ignoring the /data

In the cron jobs screenshot, you can see I manually exec. one of the same scripts & it was successful in the log (last entry) while the same script via cron failed (top of log file)

Cron jobs & manual execution attempts:

Cron output:
crontab.log

Server setup:

Duped log files. Script creates new LOG paths, these exist under /DATA already (NOTE the symlink path):

Note failure

This is an issue with the docker container. Backup does need some changes made to work better with the container. however in general I recommend using 3rd party tools for regular backups like rsync as they are more efficient than the LinuxGSM just compress it solution 😄

I understand the BACKUP script needs some tweaking, but the script execution (esp. via CRON) believes the SERVERFILES exist in the '/app' folder & NOT the '/data'.

Compose YML:
compose.txt

Server install & running:

My CRON changes (using Portainer):

The CRON log:
crontab.log

/data/serverfiles (proper) vs. CRON /app/serverfiles :

I created another instance & set the SERVERFILES ENV variable

services:
  lgsm-test:
    image: gameservermanagers/gameserver:pz # https://github.com/GameServerManagers/docker-gameserver
    container_name: lgsm-test
    environment:
      - LGSM_SERVERFILES=/data/serverfiles
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro

      - ./:/data
    ports:
      - 16264-16265:16261-16262/udp
      - 27017:27015
    restart: unless-stopped

Brought up the container & initial logs sees/creates

Setup the CRON w/ logging:

linuxgsm@a1d50ab924ee:/app$ whoami
linuxgsm
linuxgsm@a1d50ab924ee:/app$ crontab -l
# */60 * * * * /app/pzserver update > /dev/null 2>&1

I ended up rolling my own, for now. Again, I did redirect, via CONFIG-LGSM, the BACKUP location so it too existed in the /DATA folder.

## Backup Directory
backupdir="${HOME}/backup"

Could have changed the LSGM COMMAND_BACKUP script but every 'update-lgsm' would wipe it out & need to be redone. But you'd get the auto-rolling, purge & notifications (shrug)

tar -czf "${backupdir}/${backupname}.tar.gz" -C "${rootdir}" --exclude "${excludedir}"...
to
tar -czf "${backupdir}/${backupname}.tar.gz" -C / -T /data/bkup_include.txt

Cut down the (expected via LGSM) 15GB backup, as it was grabbing /SERVERFILES+, to ~420MB by removing the 'bloat' (no TMP, LOGs & SteamCMD files+)

Create & add the file/folder(s) I needed to '/data/bkup_include.txt'.

Guess I don't REALLY need the /APP folder, but it's small enough
This is specific for my '7 Days to Die' server (I only need the 'SAVES' & config file(s)):

/app/lgsm/config-default/
/app/lgsm/config-lgsm/
/app/lgsm/data/
/app/lgsm/modules/

/app/entrypoint.sh
/app/entrypoint-healthcheck.sh
/app/entrypoint-user.sh
/app/linuxgsm.sh
/app/sdtdserver

/data/config-lgsm/
/data/serverfiles/sdtdserver.xml
/data/userData/

/data/bkup_exclude.txt
/data/bkup_include.txt

Reference the same file via new script that I could add to CRONTAB (chmod +x!!) [my_backup.sh]:

#!/bin/sh

FILENAME=lgsm_$(date -d "today" +"%A").tar.gz
BACKUP="/data/backup/${FILENAME}"

# echo ${BACKUP}

tar -czf "${BACKUP}" -C / -T /data/bkup_include.txt

exitcode=$?

echo "Completed: '${BACKUP}', Exit Code: ${exitcode}, Size $(du -sh "${BACKUP}" | awk '{print $1}')"

Crontab:

#*/60 * * * * /app/sdtdserver update > /dev/null 2>&1
#
30 0 * * 0 cat /dev/null > /data/log/crontab.log                 # EVERY SUN @ 00:30
0 1 * * 0 /app/*server update-lgsm >> /data/log/crontab.log 2>&1 # EVERY SUN @ 1:00
0 3 * * 1,3,5 /app/*server restart >> /data/log/crontab.log 2>&1  # EVERY M,W,F @ 3:00
0 4 * * * /data/my_backup.sh >> /data/log/crontab.log 2>&1  # EVERY DAY @ 4:00

7 day rolling backup w/ any other logic/work:

Crontab.log

/data/backup/lgsm_Friday.tar.gz
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: Removing leading `/' from hard link targets
Completed: '/data/backup/lgsm_Friday.tar.gz', Exit Code: 0, Size 401M

vs. Docker container where /DATA is mapped (IE: Only getting what I need)

    volumes:...
      - ./:/data
      - ./userData:/data/userData # Utilized in the game's SERVER.XML.CFG file

I have since added a symlink from /app/serverfiles to /data/serverfiles this should help resolve these issues. But I think more work may be required
