[Bug]: Vintage Story server requires .NET 8 (LGSM still installs .NET 7)

Open Yanoee opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

User story

I was trying to install VS server on Debian 11 and server was not starting at all.

Game

Vintage Story

Linux distro

Debian 11

Command

command: start, command: update, command: install, command: update-lgsm

Further information

The Vintage Story dedicated server was recently updated to require .NET 8 runtime. LGSM dependency check currently installs dotnet-runtime-7.0, which causes the server to fail.

Error from ./vintsserver debug:

Framework: 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '8.0.0' (x64) The following frameworks were found: 7.0.20 at [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App] You must install or update .NET to run this application. Server has stopped: exit code: 150

✅ Fix / Workaround: Manually install Microsoft’s repo and .NET 8 runtime:

wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/11/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb apt update apt install -y dotnet-runtime-8.0

After installing .NET 8, the server runs normally.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Fresh install Debian 11 (Bullseye) or Debian 12 (Bookworm).
  2. Create a new LGSM Vintage Story instance: ./linuxgsm.sh vintserver && ./vintsserver install
  3. Run the server: ./vintsserver start or ./vintsserver debug
  4. Observe that the server fails to launch.

As a workaround, you can start the server by installing dotnet7 to satisfy the false dependency requirement. Obviously you still need dotnet8 installed to actually run the server, too.

You can install dotnet7 from the dotnet backports PPA, or directly from Microsoft.
