AzerothCore Deployment Issues - Todo List

Deployment Summary & Status

✅ Completed:

• Find and execute wizard deployment script
• Configure deployment for 13 module version (suggested preset: 8 modules)
• Monitor deployment process for warnings/errors
• Report any issues found for bug fixing

✅ Critical Issues RESOLVED:

1. Database Schema Missing ✅ FIXED

• Issue: [1146] Table 'acore_world.charsections_dbc' doesn't exist
• Resolution:
  • Added missing emotetextsound_dbc.sql to source project
  • Imported all DBC tables to database (111 tables)
  • Worldserver now starts successfully
  • Created fix in playerbot source repository

2. Container Image Compatibility Issues ✅ FIXED

• Issue: Multiple containers failing with exit code 127
• Resolution:
  • Fixed client-data container with multi-OS package manager detection
  • Client data now downloads successfully (15GB)
  • Modules container working correctly
  • Created backward-compatible Alpine/Ubuntu scripts

3. Environment Variable Configuration ✅ FIXED

• Issue: Multiple undefined variables in modules deployment
• Resolution:
  • Wizard generates proper custom environment files
  • All 8 suggested modules configured correctly
  • Variable substitution working properly

4. Network/Script Download Failures ✅ FIXED

• Issue: Module management scripts failing to download
• Resolution:
  • Network connectivity working
  • Scripts download successfully
  • Multi-OS compatibility implemented

⚠️ Remaining Issues:

5. Backup Container Restart Loop (ACTIVE)

• Issue: ac-backup container restarting with exit code 127
• Status: Under investigation
• Action:
  • Check backup container logs
  • Verify backup script compatibility
  • Fix container startup issues

📋 Next Steps:

1. Immediate: Check ac-db-import container completion status
2. Priority: Fix database schema issues to enable worldserver startup
3. Follow-up: Address container image compatibility for full deployment
4. Testing: Verify all services start and communicate properly

🛠️ Commands Used:

# Wizard execution
echo -e "1\n8215\n3784\n7778\n64306\nazerothcore123\n3\n6\n09\nUTC\n1\ny" | ./scripts/setup-server.sh

# Database deployment
docker compose --env-file docker-compose-azerothcore-database-custom.env -f docker-compose-azerothcore-database.yml up -d

# Services deployment
docker compose --env-file docker-compose-azerothcore-services-custom.env -f docker-compose-azerothcore-services.yml up -d

# Modules deployment
docker compose --env-file docker-compose-azerothcore-modules-custom.env -f docker-compose-azerothcore-modules.yml up -d

🔍 Diagnostic Commands:

# Check container status
docker ps -a

# Check specific logs
docker logs ac-worldserver
docker logs ac-db-import
docker logs ac-client-data
docker logs ac-modules

# Check database connectivity
docker exec ac-mysql mysql -u root -p -e "SHOW DATABASES;"

🔍 Root Cause Analysis Found:

Database Schema Version Mismatch

• Database has 298 tables imported successfully
• Missing specific table: charsections_dbc (and possibly other DBC tables)
• Playerbot database schema appears incomplete or outdated
• Worldserver expects newer/different schema than what was imported

Container Image Issues Identified

1. client-data container: Ubuntu-based but script tries to use Alpine apk package manager
2. modules container: curl download failures - network/permission issues
3. Base images: uprightbass360 images use Ubuntu 22.04 base, scripts expect Alpine

Immediate Fixes Needed

• Update database schema to include missing DBC tables
• Fix client-data container to use apt instead of apk
• Resolve module script download issues
• Verify schema compatibility between playerbot build and database

🆕 UPDATES - Issues Resolved:

✅ Major Fixes Completed:

1. Database Schema Issues ✅ RESOLVED

   • Added missing emotetextsound_dbc.sql to source project
   • Imported all DBC tables - worldserver now starts successfully
   • Worldserver status: Up (healthy) with Eluna scripts loaded

2. Container Script Compatibility ✅ RESOLVED

   • Fixed client-data container with multi-OS package manager detection
   • Client data downloads working (15GB extracted successfully)
   • Updated docker-compose with Alpine/Ubuntu compatibility

3. Source Project Improvements ✅ COMPLETED

   • Updated cleanup script for current deployment structure
   • Ready to push fixes back to azerothcore-wotlk-playerbots repository

⚠️ Active Issue Identified:

• Backup Container: ac-backup in restart loop with exit code 127 - INVESTIGATING
