Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) So, I got Wurm Unlimited during the Steam Winter Sale last month, and it was everything I was hoping it would be! The issue is that installing a Linux server SUCKED. The docs were bad at worst, and recommended bad things to have it run in the background. Also, it was missing key information -- things like "what do the kingdom numbers mean" and "I need a 'gamedir' blank file in the directory for the server files?" Sooo. I'm a DevOps (Development Operations) Engineer by trade, so I decided to do what I know best: automate all the things! Today, I released the v0.1.0 beta release of Wurm Unlimited Friendly Linux Server Installer What it does: * Asks you for how you want the server configured * Ensures that you put in good values * Tries to give best guesses at things as the default values (server IP, for example) * Provides a friendly, easy-to-use user interface for the install (99% of the people who use it won't have to type in the console past pasting the install command in) And here's the link: https://github.com/jonsjava/wurm_unlimited_server Scroll down to the README output to see how to install. Hope everybody likes, and feedback is always appreciated. Here's some pictures of the installer: Set the bind address (server IP) Set Admin Password Set Homekingdom Set Server Type (Creative/Adventure) -- If the Home Kingdom only works on a single server type, it auto selects the server type for you.

Posted January 24, 2018 It's truly ugly, but the important thing is to work and do what it's intended to do. Thanks for sparing the time and sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) lol. Ugly yes, but it's intended as the nicer interface for a headless install. Most Headless Linux installers look like this. I chose this, because I assume if you're running a dedicated Linux server, you're not putting a GUI on it. The "UI" is standard, not something I wrote Here's some examples: Accepting True Type Font EULA on Ubuntu: Accepting Xen Server EULA (released last year, and used by companies like Rackspace and Amazon): Edited January 24, 2018 by JonsJava clarification 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 26, 2018 Completely agree that the headless server software and documentation need some TLC. Thank you for your efforts on this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 30, 2018 Even if in my personal opinion is that people without clue about servers, maintenance, DevOps in general, should not host, configure and run any server, still this tool is amazing. Saves time. Have not looked into source, but does it support multi server configuration? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are so wrong... This UI is what FUNCTIONAL servers look like - no GUI, just character based interface. This is elegant. THIS is what the pros always see. :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
