ArmA 3 Linux CLI Server Mod Manager for lgsm (Linux Game Server Manager)
https://linuxgsm.com/
https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM

This is an independent project for lgsm and I am not associated with it.

Current Version: 1.3

Requirements: GNU bash, version 4.1.5 and above

TL:DR

Downloads mods
Manage .bikey Files
Update mods

Features:

1. Download Mods
   Uses the steamcmd which also downloads the server
   Downloads the mods into the steamcmd workshop directory, lowercases them afterwards
   Symlinks the mods inside the arma 3 servers mods directory
   How it works:
   You need to input the workshop id of the arma 3 mod
   The script then downloads each mod and symlinks the mod inside the server

2. Manage .bikey Files
   Requires you to have "verifySignatures = 2" enabled in your "arma3server.server.cfg, otherwise pointless
   Adds the .bikey files to the arma 3 server keys directory
   And Removes them
   How it works:
   Adding Keys: searches all .bikeys in the workshop folder and asks the user if he wants to add the mod (+ displays the mods name)
   Removing Keys: mostly the same, but only searches them inside the server keys folder

3. Update Mods
   Consists of 2 methods
   One is user driven, so he can only choose some, or all, depends on him
   The other one is made to use it with cron
   So you can like start the script each day 5am and the script just checks each mod if there is an update avialable

4. Count Mods
   Counts all downloaded Mods and .bikey Files

5. Lowercase
   Lowercases all Mods inside the steam workshop directory

Usage:

Download the armamm.sh file, open it and may edit the paths
The Script doesnt care which it is located
** CURRENTLY ONLY WORKS FOR 1 SERVER, so you need one script for each Server **
Change the file permissions, so it can be executed
Then simply run ./armamm.sh

To Download Mods:

./armamm.sh dl | ./armamm.sh download

To Manage .bikey Files:

Add: ./armamm.sh ak | ./armamm.sh addkeys
Remove: ./armamm.sh rk | ./armamm.sh removekeys

To Update Mods:

Update manually: ./armamm.sh up | ./armamm.sh updatemods
Cronupdate: ./armamm.sh cup | ./armamm.sh cronupdate
Example cron entry:
0 8 * * * /home/lgsm/arma/armamm.sh cup >> /home/lgsm/cron/arma/`date +%y%m%d`_armamm.sh_cronupdate.log
Each day, at 8am, cron will run the script and writes the output in a file with the current year, month, day in its filename

To Count Mods:

./armamm.sh co | ./armamm.sh count

To Lowercase Mods:

./armamm.sh lo | ./armamm.sh lowercase

Running the script without any or wrong parameters or with h / help:
Shows the Help menu

./armamm.sh h | ./armamm.sh help
