SIMPLE ALL IN ONE: From nothing to a fully working dedicated server on Ubuntu

[Don Daniello]

Hey @Don Daniello,

Let's say we want to run the server with gdb and we would also like to log any crash reports while still being able to have it restart automatically as it does already, would be you be able to show me how to do that?

I don't know how to run gdb in a non-interactive way, maybe it's possible - you should be able to find that in gdb's documentation

If you want to access core dumps, that should be easy and already available. Try "coredumpctl" (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/coredumpctl.html). The restarter will restart it anyway.

Hello!
This is the second reinstall I am doing, and I keep getting this error when running the third command.
Is the something obvious I am doing wrong?

Try to upgrade all packages in your server first. Looks like a problem establishing HTTPS connection to github. May be temporary.

 

[MrThing]

Hm.
I tried to run the command again and it worked. Seems it was just temporary. Thank you for the quick response!

 

[MrThing]

I have encountered another problem. During the ansible it fails on installing php5-fpm.

I think I have done everything that i should have done. Thank you

 

[Don Daniello]

Paste the output of the following commands:

grep -h ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
cat /etc/debian_version

 

[MrThing]

I am running Ubuntu server 16.04 if that answers anything.

 

[Don Daniello]

I am running Ubuntu server 16.04 if that answers anything.

This playbook was not tested on Ubuntu 16.04 yet. I'll try that soon.

 

[MrThing]

This playbook was not tested on Ubuntu 16.04 yet. I'll try that soon.

Ah, that explains it.
Thank you again.

oracle virtualbox, ubuntu 16.04 LTS, got stuck here

after closing the terminal and re-executing ansible-pull I get this

[Don Daniello]

It hasn't been tested for 16.04 yet. You can open an issue on GitHub and I'll get to it soon.

 

[zbizu]

done
I'm in hurry so I will try ubuntu 15.10 instead.

edit: ok, thx

 

[Don Daniello]

15.10 will work for sure, that's the one I use.

 

[zbizu]

now I'm stuck here:

at this point on 16.04 it started to output stuff already, on 15.10 it doesn't do anything.

My ISP might be the problem (messed university dormitory network). I'll try again at home next week.

when I restart the machine and execute all commands again I'm getting "all hosts have already failed" error

with --purge it gets stuck at "set php.ini default_timezone"

starting tfs with otsmanager:

Could not watch jobs: Connection reset by peer

Hello, im using aversions of ubuntu, i will try with ubuntu 14.4/15.04/16.04 and all giveme this error:

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************

[Don Daniello]

@G!aN 14.04 will not work because it doesn't have systemd.
Try running "loginctl" command and see the output.

Hey @Don Daniello,

I'm trying to install on Ubuntu 15.10 and I keep getting a problem with cotire, when I try to re-do the last command I get an error like this:

TASK: [Download latest TFS from git] ******************************************
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true}
msg: Local modifications exist in repository (force=no).

My question is how can I force it to continue anyways? I tried by adding -f to the last command but to no avail.

Thank you

rm -rf /home/otsmanager/forgottenserver

That will delete your whole forgottenserver directory

 

[imkingran]

rm -rf /home/otsmanager/forgottenserver

That will delete your whole forgottenserver directory

Thanks @Don Daniello but I when I do that and try to install it I once again get an error about cotire:

Is there some way I can skip the compiling step so I can do it manually or a way to make it compile without cotire through the automated system?

 

[Don Daniello]

Is there some way I can skip the compiling step so I can do it manually or a way to make it compile without cotire through the automated system?

Yes, the default is:

ansible-pull -i localhost, -U https://github.com/DevelopersPL/otshosting-provisioning.git -d /srv/otshosting-provisioning --purge -t default,phpMyAdmin,DevAAC,tfs,tfs-old,wine

You can run:

ansible-pull -i localhost, -U https://github.com/DevelopersPL/otshosting-provisioning.git -d /srv/otshosting-provisioning --purge -t default,phpMyAdmin,DevAAC,tfs-old
