LinuxGSM is an open-source command-line tool that simplifies the process of setting up and managing game servers on Linux-based systems. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing LinuxGSM on EndeavourOS, a rolling release Linux distribution based on Arch Linux.
Before you can install LinuxGSM, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Update your EndeavourOS system to ensure that it is running the latest software packages:
sudo pacman -Syu
Install the dependencies required to build and run LinuxGSM:
sudo pacman -S tmux lib32-gcc-libs lib32-glibc
Clone the LinuxMint repositories from GitHub to your home directory:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM.git
Change to the LinuxGSM directory and run the installer:
cd LinuxGSM
./linuxgsm.sh install
You will be prompted to enter the LinuxGSM installation directory. The default is /home/<user>/linuxgsm, but you can choose to install it into a different directory.
Once the LinuxGSM installer completes successfully, you can use it to set up and manage game servers. For example, the following command will install and configure a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) server:
./csgoserver install
LinuxGSM will automatically download and install the required game server files and create a default configuration file. You can then customize the configuration to your liking by editing the configuration file located at /home/<user>/linuxgsm/csgoserver/lgsm/config-lgsm/csgoserver/csgoserver.cfg.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LinuxGSM on EndeavourOS and used it to set up a game server. LinuxGSM makes it easy to install and manage many popular game servers on Linux-based systems.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
