Linux Simple KAG dedicated server installer script

Hey, I was not sure where to post this so I've put it on resources. I think this may go on this forum as well, so there we are.

This script allows a Debian-based (and probably other *nix based distros featuring apt-get) distro user to install a KAG server on his box, VPS or dedicated server easily.

You will need root priviledges, apt-get and tar.

More info : https://forum.kag2d.com/resources/linux-dedicated-server-installer.326/

Code:

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
   echo "You don't have root priviledges."
   echo "Please run the script as root : sudo ./script.sh"
   exit 1
fi

echo "Updating package lists."
apt-get update >/dev/null

echo "Downloading/Updating librairies. Depending on your network speed, this may take a while."
plat=$(uname -m)
if [[ plat -eq "x86_64" ]]; then
   echo "You are running a 64-bit operating system."
   echo "Downloading 32-bit libs required to run KAG..."
   apt-get install ia32-libs >/dev/null
else
   echo "You are running a 32-bit or an unsupported operating system.\nIgnoring 32-bit libs downloading."
fi

echo "How will this server be named? Do not choose a conflicting name!"
choice="Server"
read choice

archivename="kag-linux32-dedicated-release.tar.gz"

mkdir $choice
if [[ ! -f $archivename ]]; then
   echo "The KAG archive was not found."
   echo "It will be downloaded for you."
   wget http://dl.kag2d.com/kag-linux32-dedicated-release.tar.gz >/dev/null
fi

echo "Copying and extracting the dedicated server archive"

cp $archivename $choice

cd $choice
tar -zxf $archivename
rm $archivename

chmod +x ./KAGdedi

echo "Updating the dedicatedserver.sh script"

echo "dedicatedserver.sh" >> ./autoupdate_ignore.cfg
rm ./dedicatedserver.sh

echo "#!/bin/bash
chmod +x ./KAGdedi
until ./KAGdedi autostart Scripts/server_autostart.as autoconfig autoconfig.cfg; do
   sleep 2
done" >> ./dedicatedserver.sh

chmod +x ./dedicatedserver.sh

cd ../

echo "Job finished!"

This is my first bash script as well, if you have some tips feel free.

 

You made a copy of archive and removed it after unpacking, but u could do that unpacking arc to custom dir.
Also there can be some problems with rights: folders and files will be created under root, its bad.
Tar will work without root rights.

This libs installing will not work under Ubuntu 12+, because there is no ia32-libs package now.

 

Yeah, wasn't really sure how to do. I'll fix it on a next update.
About ubuntu, goddamnit, why do they basically need to be a heavy and shitted up debian, duh.

Thanks for the tips

 

hmm, I have just googled and found that that problem is actual for debian 7+ too.
for installing i386 arch packages in later Debian and Ubuntu u need to do firstly:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update​

then u can install packages like this:

apt-get install libc6:i386 ​

I don't remember what packages is needed for server, but u can check what libs are needed using ldd command.

 

I didn't have issues on debian 7 with ia32-libs.
