LinuxGSM (Game Server Managers) is a set of scripts designed to make the process of running game servers and managing them easier. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing LinuxGSM on the latest version of POP! OS. Here are the steps to follow:
Open the terminal on your POP! OS by pressing CTRL + ALT + T on your keyboard or by searching for "terminal" in the application menu.
The first step is to install Git, which is a version control system that LinuxGSM uses to manage its files. Open Terminal and run the following command to install Git:
sudo apt-get install git
Once Git is installed, use the following command to download the LinuxGSM repository into your home directory:
git clone https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM.git ~/LinuxGSM
Next, navigate to the directory where LinuxGSM is installed and use the following command to make the install script executable:
cd ~/LinuxGSM && chmod +x install.sh && bash install.sh
The installation script will guide you through the process of installing LinuxGSM. You will need to agree to the license terms and select the gameserver(s) that you want to install.
After the installation is complete, you can run LinuxGSM by navigating to its directory and using the following command:
cd ~/LinuxGSM && ./gameservername.sh start
Replace gameservername.sh with the name of the game server that you installed. For example, if you installed a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server, you would use the following command:
cd ~/LinuxGSM && ./csgoserver.sh start
That's it! You have successfully installed LinuxGSM on your POP! OS system. You can now use it to manage your game servers more efficiently.
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!
