Servers What cs2d need to host in ubuntu? What cs2d need to host in ubuntu?
9 replies How much I will need to host the server in dedicated?
And in ubuntu works and loads all files? (lua scripts, sfx, gfx, ogg, wav, mp3, png, bmp ?)
Ubuntu is the best option?
Hi,
I would recommend using "VPS Windows" Is what i use to host my server "[ARG2D]" It is also easier to use. I would recommend using a Linux VPS it's always the best for hosting. Get Debian the most stable operating system
EDIT: x86_64 means 64-bit system so you will need to install 32-bit libs for CS2D libstdc++6:i386 if I'm not wrong. @ Hajt: I wouldn't recommend Debian for someone who hasn't even heard of another OS apart from Windows or macOS, Ubuntu would still be a stretch (get it? ) but it would be a little easier.
Also - Debian 9 isn't really stable, they proved that last week Ubuntu (or any distribution) should do the job for you. Since it is based on Linux you get a plethora of utilities for server management such as crontab, tcpdump, screen and it is highly supported by many people and community. You can always ask people for help if you are in the middle of a problem.
Obviously there needs some Linux knowledge and such to get things working as they should so you'd better move your head and start to learn how to use Linux commands from there. You can also find other useful and well documented tutorials.
Windows, on the other hand, is also a good choice only if you want an easier management without worrying to mess up stuff. If you feel comfortable with it and you are inclined on an easy-management curve then get Windows as jere stated. Suse is a far better choice compared to Ubuntu for myself - Yast is a really good package manager. OK I will buy the option with Ubuntu, with ubuntu I can load all custom files, like lua scripts? @ Jedediastwo: Yes but please understand that an Ubuntu server normally doesn't come with a control interface (and shouldn't to be honest) which means you will have to do everything via the shell (typing, no fancy UI).
If you're not up to the challenge, don't try it. People are always willing to help out though. Avo User Offline
Yeah, I agree. Maybe you should learn how to perform some basic operations using linux terminal, first? Like, locally (using VirtualBox for example, it would look like this).
I personally took my old PC without any monitor, installed Debian (version with no GUI) there. Because there was no screen, I was forced to do everything via console (using SSH). After few days of such "training" you can do almost everything you need to manipulate a VPS (or run a game server at least).
