|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The AzerothCore startup scripts provide multiple approaches to running server instances:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Development/Testing**: Simple execution for debugging and development
|
||||
2. **Production with Restarts**: Automatic restart on crashes with crash detection
|
||||
3. **Background Services**: Production-ready service management with PM2 or systemd
|
||||
4. **Session Management**: Interactive console access via tmux/screen
|
||||
|
||||
All scripts are integrated into the `acore.sh` dashboard for easy access.
|
||||
|
||||
### 📦 Automatic Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
**Important**: When you compile AzerothCore using the acore dashboard (`./acore.sh compiler build`), all startup scripts are automatically copied from `apps/startup-scripts/src/` to your `bin/` folder. This means:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **Portable Deployment**: You can copy the entire `bin/` folder to different servers
|
||||
- ✅ **Self-Contained**: All restart and service management tools travel with your binaries
|
||||
- ✅ **No Additional Setup**: Scripts work immediately after deployment
|
||||
- ✅ **Production Ready**: Deploy to production servers without needing the full source code
|
||||
|
||||
This makes it easy to deploy your compiled binaries along with the management scripts to production environments where you may not have the full AzerothCore source code.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Components
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
- **`run-engine`**: Advanced script with session management and configuration priority
|
||||
- **`simple-restarter`**: Wrapper around starter with restart functionality (legacy compatibility)
|
||||
- **`starter`**: Basic binary execution with optional GDB support
|
||||
- **`service-manager.sh`**: Production service management with PM2/systemd
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
- **`conf.sh.dist`**: Default configuration template
|
||||
- **`conf.sh`**: User configuration (create from .dist)
|
||||
- **`gdb.conf`**: GDB debugging configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- **`restarter-auth.sh`**: Auth server restart example
|
||||
- **`restarter-world.sh`**: World server restart example
|
||||
- **`starter-auth.sh`**: Auth server basic start example
|
||||
- **`starter-world.sh`**: World server basic start example
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Basic Server Start (Development)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start authserver directly
|
||||
./starter /path/to/bin authserver
|
||||
|
||||
# Start worldserver with config
|
||||
./starter /path/to/bin worldserver "" /path/to/worldserver.conf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Start with Auto-Restart
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Using simple-restarter (legacy)
|
||||
./simple-restarter /path/to/bin authserver
|
||||
|
||||
# Using run-engine (recommended)
|
||||
./run-engine restart authserver --bin-path /path/to/bin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Production Service Management
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create and start a service
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create auth authserver --bin-path /path/to/bin
|
||||
|
||||
# List all services
|
||||
./service-manager.sh list
|
||||
|
||||
# Stop a service
|
||||
./service-manager.sh stop auth
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Using acore.sh Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Interactive dashboard
|
||||
./acore.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Direct commands
|
||||
./acore.sh run-authserver # Start authserver with restart
|
||||
./acore.sh run-worldserver # Start worldserver with restart
|
||||
./acore.sh service-manager # Access service manager
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚙️ Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration Priority (Highest to Lowest)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`conf.sh`** - User configuration file
|
||||
2. **Command line arguments** - Runtime parameters
|
||||
3. **Environment variables** - `RUN_ENGINE_*` variables
|
||||
4. **`conf.sh.dist`** - Default configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Copy default configuration
|
||||
cp scripts/conf.sh.dist scripts/conf.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit your configuration
|
||||
nano scripts/conf.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Configuration Options
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Binary settings
|
||||
export BINPATH="/path/to/azerothcore/bin"
|
||||
export SERVERBIN="worldserver" # or "authserver"
|
||||
export CONFIG="/path/to/worldserver.conf"
|
||||
|
||||
# Session management
|
||||
export SESSION_MANAGER="tmux" # none|auto|tmux|screen
|
||||
export SESSION_NAME="ac-world"
|
||||
|
||||
# Debugging
|
||||
export GDB_ENABLED="1" # 0 or 1
|
||||
export GDB="/path/to/gdb.conf"
|
||||
|
||||
# Logging
|
||||
export LOGS_PATH="/path/to/logs"
|
||||
export CRASHES_PATH="/path/to/crashes"
|
||||
export LOG_PREFIX_NAME="realm1"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📖 Detailed Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Run Engine
|
||||
|
||||
The `run-engine` is the most advanced script with multiple operation modes:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Basic Execution
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start server once
|
||||
./run-engine start worldserver --bin-path /path/to/bin
|
||||
|
||||
# Start with configuration file
|
||||
./run-engine start worldserver --config ./conf-world.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Start with specific server config
|
||||
./run-engine start worldserver --server-config /path/to/worldserver.conf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Restart Mode
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Automatic restart on crash
|
||||
./run-engine restart worldserver --bin-path /path/to/bin
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart with session management
|
||||
./run-engine restart worldserver --session-manager tmux
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Session Management
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start in tmux session
|
||||
./run-engine start worldserver --session-manager tmux
|
||||
|
||||
# Attach to existing session
|
||||
tmux attach-session -t worldserver
|
||||
|
||||
# Start in screen session
|
||||
./run-engine start worldserver --session-manager screen
|
||||
|
||||
# Attach to screen session
|
||||
screen -r worldserver
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration Options
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./run-engine restart worldserver \
|
||||
--bin-path /path/to/bin \
|
||||
--server-config /path/to/worldserver.conf \

||||
--logs-path /path/to/logs \
|
||||
--crashes-path /path/to/crashes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Simple Restarter
|
||||
|
||||
Legacy-compatible wrapper with restart functionality:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Basic restart
|
||||
./simple-restarter /path/to/bin worldserver
|
||||
|
||||
# With full parameters
|
||||
./simple-restarter \
|
||||
/path/to/bin \
|
||||
worldserver \
|
||||
./gdb.conf \
|
||||
/path/to/worldserver.conf \
|
||||
/path/to/system.log \
|
||||
/path/to/system.err \
|
||||
1 \
|
||||
/path/to/crashes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
1. Binary path (required)
|
||||
2. Binary name (required)

|
||||
8. Crashes directory path (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Starter
|
||||
|
||||
Basic execution script without restart functionality:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Simple start
|
||||
./starter /path/to/bin worldserver
|
||||
|
||||
# With GDB debugging
|
||||
./starter /path/to/bin worldserver ./gdb.conf /path/to/worldserver.conf "" "" 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Service Manager
|
||||
|
||||
Production-ready service management:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Creating Services
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Auto-detect provider (PM2 or systemd)
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create auth authserver --bin-path /path/to/bin
|
||||
|
||||
# Force PM2
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create world worldserver --provider pm2 --bin-path /path/to/bin
|
||||
|
||||
# Force systemd
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create world worldserver --provider systemd --bin-path /path/to/bin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Service Operations
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start/stop services
|
||||
./service-manager.sh start auth
|
||||
./service-manager.sh stop world
|
||||
./service-manager.sh restart auth
|
||||
|
||||
# View logs
|
||||
./service-manager.sh logs world
|
||||
./service-manager.sh logs world --follow
|
||||
|
||||
# Attach to console (interactive)
|
||||
./service-manager.sh attach world
|
||||
|
||||
# List services
|
||||
./service-manager.sh list
|
||||
./service-manager.sh list pm2
|
||||
./service-manager.sh list systemd
|
||||
|
||||
# Delete service
|
||||
./service-manager.sh delete auth
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Service Configuration
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Update service settings
|
||||
./service-manager.sh update world --session-manager screen --gdb-enabled 1
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit configuration
|
||||
./service-manager.sh edit world
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🌍 Multiple Realms Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 1: Using Service Manager (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create multiple world server instances
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create world1 worldserver \
|
||||
--bin-path /path/to/bin \
|
||||
--server-config /path/to/worldserver-realm1.conf
|
||||
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create world2 worldserver \
|
||||
--bin-path /path/to/bin \
|
||||
--server-config /path/to/worldserver-realm2.conf
|
||||
|
||||
# Single auth server for all realms
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create auth authserver \
|
||||
--bin-path /path/to/bin \
|
||||
--server-config /path/to/authserver.conf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 2: Using Run Engine with Different Configurations
|
||||
|
||||
Create separate configuration files for each realm:
|
||||
|
||||
**conf-realm1.sh:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export BINPATH="/path/to/bin"
|
||||
export SERVERBIN="worldserver"
|
||||
export CONFIG="/path/to/worldserver-realm1.conf"
|
||||
export SESSION_NAME="ac-realm1"
|
||||
export LOG_PREFIX_NAME="realm1"
|
||||
export LOGS_PATH="/path/to/logs/realm1"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**conf-realm2.sh:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export BINPATH="/path/to/bin"
|
||||
export SERVERBIN="worldserver"
|
||||
export CONFIG="/path/to/worldserver-realm2.conf"
|
||||
export SESSION_NAME="ac-realm2"
|
||||
export LOG_PREFIX_NAME="realm2"
|
||||
export LOGS_PATH="/path/to/logs/realm2"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Start each realm:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./run-engine restart worldserver --config ./conf-realm1.sh
|
||||
./run-engine restart worldserver --config ./conf-realm2.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 3: Using Examples with Custom Configurations
|
||||
|
||||
Copy and modify the example scripts:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Copy examples
|
||||
cp examples/restarter-world.sh restarter-realm1.sh
|
||||
cp examples/restarter-world.sh restarter-realm2.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit each script to point to different configuration files
|
||||
# Then run:
|
||||
./restarter-realm1.sh
|
||||
./restarter-realm2.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Service Management
|
||||
|
||||
### PM2 Services
|
||||
|
||||
When using PM2 as the service provider:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# PM2-specific commands
|
||||
pm2 list # List all PM2 processes
|
||||
pm2 logs auth # View logs
|
||||
pm2 monit # Real-time monitoring
|
||||
pm2 restart auth # Restart service
|
||||
pm2 delete auth # Remove service
|
||||
|
||||
# Save PM2 configuration
|
||||
pm2 save
|
||||
pm2 startup # Auto-start on boot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Systemd Services
|
||||
|
||||
When using systemd as the service provider:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Systemd commands
|
||||
systemctl --user status acore-auth # Check status
|
||||
systemctl --user logs acore-auth # View logs
|
||||
systemctl --user restart acore-auth # Restart
|
||||
systemctl --user enable acore-auth # Enable auto-start
|
||||
|
||||
# For system services (requires sudo)
|
||||
sudo systemctl status acore-auth
|
||||
sudo systemctl enable acore-auth
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Management in Services
|
||||
|
||||
Services can be configured with session managers for interactive access:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create service with tmux
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create world worldserver \
|
||||
--bin-path /path/to/bin \
|
||||
--session-manager tmux
|
||||
|
||||
# Attach to the session
|
||||
./service-manager.sh attach world
|
||||
# or directly:
|
||||
tmux attach-session -t worldserver
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎮 Integration with acore.sh Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
The startup scripts are fully integrated into the AzerothCore dashboard:
|
||||
|
||||
### Direct Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run servers with simple restart (development/testing)
|
||||
./acore.sh run-worldserver # Option 11 or 'rw'
|
||||
./acore.sh run-authserver # Option 12 or 'ra'
|
||||
|
||||
# Access service manager (production)
|
||||
./acore.sh service-manager # Option 15 or 'sm'
|
||||
|
||||
# Examples:
|
||||
./acore.sh rw # Quick worldserver start
|
||||
./acore.sh ra # Quick authserver start
|
||||
./acore.sh sm create auth authserver --bin-path /path/to/bin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### What Happens Behind the Scenes
|
||||
|
||||
- **run-worldserver/run-authserver**: Calls `simple-restarter` with appropriate binary
|
||||
- **service-manager**: Provides full access to the service management interface
|
||||
- Scripts automatically use the correct binary path from your build configuration
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Binary Not Found
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Error: Binary '/path/to/bin/worldserver' not found
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Solution**: Check binary path and ensure servers are compiled
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if binary exists
|
||||
ls -la /path/to/bin/worldserver
|
||||
|
||||
# Compile if needed
|
||||
./acore.sh compiler build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Configuration File Issues
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Error: Configuration file not found
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Solution**: Create configuration from template
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp scripts/conf.sh.dist scripts/conf.sh
|
||||
# Edit conf.sh with correct paths
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Session Manager Not Available
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Warning: tmux not found, falling back to direct execution
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Solution**: Install required session manager
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Ubuntu/Debian
|
||||
sudo apt install tmux screen
|
||||
|
||||
# CentOS/RHEL
|
||||
sudo yum install tmux screen
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Permission Issues (systemd)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Failed to create systemd service
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Solution**: Check user permissions or use --system flag
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# For user services (no sudo required)
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create auth authserver --bin-path /path/to/bin
|
||||
|
||||
# For system services (requires sudo)
|
||||
./service-manager.sh create auth authserver --bin-path /path/to/bin --system
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. PM2 Not Found
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Error: PM2 is not installed
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Solution**: Install PM2
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install -g pm2
|
||||
# or
|
||||
sudo npm install -g pm2
|
||||
```
