[BUG] Fresh install of Barotrauma server throws "No usable version of libssl was found" error

[frozenfoxx]

User Story

As a server owner, I want to set up a Barotrauma server so that it launches painlessly.

Basic info

• Distro: [Ubuntu 22.04]
• Game: [Barotrauma]
• Command: [start]
• LinuxGSM version: ["v22.1.0]

Further Information

When starting a Barotrauma server after installation it fails. When checking the /home/btserver/log/console/btserver-console.log it says:

btserver@barotrauma:~$ cat log/console/btserver-console.log
Barotrauma Dedicated Server 0.18.15.0 (ReleaseLinux, branch release, revision a7b22109e9)
Loading game settings
No usable version of libssl was found
./DedicatedServer.exe: line 2: 16986 Aborted                 ./DedicatedServer

All dependencies are installed:

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Install Ubuntu 22.04.
2. Create a btserver unprivileged user.
3. Install dependencies as root.
4. As btserver, wget -O linuxgsm.sh https://linuxgsm.sh && chmod +x linuxgsm.sh && bash linuxgsm.sh btserver.
5. As btserver, ./btserver install.
6. As btserver, ./btserver start.
7. Failure, see log.

Expected behaviour

Server starts up.

Workaround

This seems to be because Ubuntu 22.04 has deprecated libssl 1.0. I retrieved the i386 and amd64 builds from here and installed:

• http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.10_i386.deb
• http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.10_amd64.deb

Now the game server successfully starts up immediately.
