EQ2Emu Quick/Easy Linux Server installer. - devn00b - 09-27-2020

Since I created a windows installer I decided to try and tackle a Linux version. If you find any bugs please message me on discord or leave a post here. I've tested this across all supported versions.

All that needs to be done is grab the script below or via "wget https://www.zeklabs.com/dl/eq2emu-linux-install.sh", and then "bash eq2emu-linux-install.sh" and follow the prompts

There are some caveats:

Quote:
Current Working Distros: Debian 10+, Ubuntu (recent), Fedora 33, Manjaro, Arch Linux, and AlmaLinux.

The install directory is hardcoded to /home/eq2emu.

The script must be run as root or with sudo.

What this script does:

Step 1: Downloads the needed dependencies from whatever system your distro uses (IE APT/YUM/PACMAN/whatever).
Step 2: Creates /home/eq2emu and downloads the source.
Step 3: Downloads premake5 and then builds and installs recast libs.
Step 4: Downloads FMT Includes and installs them in the common folder.
Step 5: Builds eq2world and login.
Step 6: USER SETS UP MYSQL USER
Step 7: Startup Script installs maps, Lua-related files, sets server name, installs newest DB, updates login server, and sends bug reports (/bug) to us.
Step 8: Script launches login and world servers in the background and your server is ready to play.

And the obvious but needs to be said stuff

Support will be given ONLY if you have not changed any of the default settings.

TODO:
Add interactive options to set: Database Username, and Password.
Add update options like the windows version has (source, scripts, DB).
Add the option to upload bugs back to EQ2EMu.com.
Add a server startup script to handle many functions.
Add Linux version detection leading to multi-version installs (IE Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu in one script)
Add directory input support on 1st start (so you can select install dir).
Add insert of server name/password into DB/ini on 1st startup.

-- Updated script to now add the loginserver SQL. Will attempt to create database on 1st run (missing config), Will update as needed afterwords.

RE: EQ2Emu Quick/Easy Linux Server installer. - devn00b - 03-26-2021

-- [start_eq2emu.sh] Added Database (for world) name selection on 1st run.
-- [start_eq2emu.sh] Added Database host selection on 1st run.

** note after update if you lack the correct data in installconfig.conf it will default to 127.0.0.1 for MySQL host and eq2emu for the database name **

MYSQLNAME=eq2emu

MYSQLPASS=eq2emu

MYSQLDB=eq2emu

Completed old TODO list with the following changes. Added a few more to-dos for the future.

-- [start_eq2emu.sh] Script will now check for options.sh if it doesn't exist it will download it.
-- [start_eq2emu.sh] Script will now create the initial database on 1st run.
-- Options.sh added.

Currently supports the following options

Full DB Backup - This will backup the world and login DB to /home/eq2emu/backups.
Update World DB - This will delete your existing DB and do a full reload.
Update Lua - This will update all Lua scripts.
Update Maps - This will delete existing maps and get the current ones from git.
Update Startup Script - This will update the start_eq2emu.sh.
Fresh Compile - This will update the source from git and compile it.

You can grab the new start_eq2emu.sh HERE
