[Help wanted] Document hosting servers using SteamCMD
As title says, it would be nice to be able to run game servers without XServer.
If you try to launch Steam it will immediately try to connect to X11, and steamcmd
is not in path, so not sure what is the best way to do that.
It's not documented because it's not supported: steamcmd is separate download with different dependencies and, thankfully, for the most part not subject to the same issues. Afaik, the only known issue is that it can't find an SSL certificate bundle with root certs since we don't install and/or link ca_root_nss
in any typical Linux locations (/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
for Ubuntu, probably /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem
for Red Hat, etc). This should arguably be fixed in ports.
@trasz, where should we put a symlink for Linux apps? emulators/linux_base-c7?
I'm not sure, I guess so. You could try asking tijl@.
I fixed the SSL certificate budle with:
cd /compat/linux/etc/pki/tls
ln -s /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem cert.pem
