The Unofficial Avorion Linux Server Manager

DIRTY-SERVER-MANAGER A script for quick server deployment and management of the server.

Tested and works on these linux OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Debian 8

Partial Support for: Centos 7

You don't need to own Avorion on Steam to use this.

INSTALLATION Step 1: Verify or install these dependencies: lib32gcc1, tmux (V2.0+), php7.0, php7.0-gd

    sudo apt-get -y update
    sudo apt-get -y install lib32gcc1 tmux php7.0 php7.0-gd

Step 2: Create a new user for avorion to run on. (Do not use root)

    sudo adduser avorion
    sudo su - avorion

Step 3: Download the manager

    wget -O DirtyServerManager.tar.gz avorion.dirtyredz.com

Step 4: Unpack the tar file

    tar -xvf DirtyServerManager.tar.gz

Step 5: Steamcmd and avorion server Installation

    ./manager install

Step 6: After a successful server installation you can start the server

    ./manager start

Step 7: [Optional] To start the web interface run this commands

    ./manager start-web

    This command will start the PHP-web-server, this server is unable to handle ssl requests.
    Ultimately the php server is not as robust as an apache server, that is why I include an apache setup below.

Alternatively: [Optional] Apache settup for those who wish to take advantage of SSL(https)

su root           'or another user with sudo access'
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install apache2 libapache2-mod-php7.0 libapache2-mpm-itk
cd /home/avorion
sudo ./ApacheInstall.sh


Regardless of which server you choose, the site will be accessed via:
http://YOUR-IP-ADDRESS:The_Web_Port
example: http://104.236.73.30:8080

Step 8: After all is done and working properly be sure to secure your firewall with the appropriate commands. Remember to open ports for the game as well as the web interface These are the default ports you will need to open:

    tcp/27000
    udp/27000
    udp/27003
    udp/27020  -Steam
    tcp/27020  -Steam
    udp/27021  -Steam
    tcp/27021  -Steam
    tcp/8080   -web interface default
    tcp/443    -If using apche/ssl

Check help for more commands:

./manager help

To update your manager and web interface use command from the directory the manager is located:

./manager Update_Manager
