Documentation? about mcscripts

[afalzon]

thanks @TapeWerm I tried running sudo systemctl start mcbe-getzip.service but it just sat there with no response for hours. so i rebooted and ran the update commands:
curl -L https://github.com/TapeWerm/MCscripts/archive/refs/heads/master.zip -o /tmp/master.zip

rm -rf /tmp/MCscripts-master

unzip /tmp/master.zip -d /tmp

sudo /tmp/MCscripts-master/src/install.sh

the first 3 lines ran fine but then it just sits there with no response on the last one.

sudo systemctl start mcbe-getzip.service will run the bedrock getzip service. The bedrock autoupdate service should start after getzip runs. You probably ran into the bug I fixed a couple days ago in commit b5faac0 . Try updating MCscripts if you haven't already. I might change the network test in ExecStartPre for the bedrock getzip and log services. It's a little janky, which is why it broke in the first place.

By no response do you mean no output? If you read install.sh source code you can see what it does. The install/update process installs required packages, adds the mc user, uninstalls MCscripts, moves servers and backups, installs MCscripts, and reenables services. Many steps output text to indicate progress. When install.sh uninstalls MCscripts, some services might not stop, and you have to wait for systemd to timeout and kill their processes.

journalctl -u [email protected] -u [email protected] -u mcbe-getzip.service -u [email protected] -u mcbe-log@MCBE -e shows logs. If you post any logs, remember to delete gamertags from player connect/disconnect messages.

Yeah, it had no output and just sits there like its doing something.

i have pasted my log here: LOG File

Thanks For your help with this :)

[TapeWerm]

No output would imply that either you don't have apt-get, or apt-get is stuck. If you don't have apt-get, install.sh adds the mc user if it does not exist. Then disable_services.sh saves which services are enabled and disables them before deleting their files. It's pretty much an uninstaller.

Nov 30 23:09:35 minecraft systemd[1]: mcbe-getzip.service: Current command vanished from the unit file, execution of the command list won't be resumed. I've never seen that error before. At Nov 30 23:09:24 the server stops and starts back up again. Is that when you tried to run install.sh? I use bash set -e to exit on error. So if it failed to stop mcbe-getzip and exited, it makes sense that the server would come back up again.

Thank you for the logs, I'm still not 100% sure why this happens, but I have some leads now.

I run Ubuntu 22.04. I'm not using any systemd overrides. backup_dir is symlinked to a 2nd SSD formatted ext4. I don't think backup_dir has anything to do with this, but it has been important info for testing backup scripts. What is your server like? Is it up to date?

If you want to workaround this, you could try disabling the services by hand and enabling them after. That might work?

[afalzon]

Thanks, I just realised im running Ubuntu 18 on this one, I will try upgrading to 22 and see how it goes, i might even just blow it away and start fresh.

I am guessing the best method is:

1. Install Minecraft Server
2. Install your script by downloading it then running the install.sh

after that is it meant to keep minecraft updated as well?

If not what is the best method for updating Minecraft once your script is running?

[TapeWerm]

Sorry for the late reply. You might have to upgrade twice or do a clean install. https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/upgrade-introduction

Follow https://github.com/TapeWerm/MCscripts#setup and import your bedrock server directories. The getzip and autoupdate services automatically keep your server up to date.

[TapeWerm]

It's been a while, is your server still having issues? I had free time today so I figured I'd work on MCscripts. I have tomorrow off too.

Closing old issue, feel free to make a new one if anything happens.
