Getting Started with Server
Introduction
This short tutorial will show you how to run a RageMP server on Linux distributions.
By default, RageMP makes use of port 22005 UDP for server access so make sure that it is unblocked before starting your server
Installing GCC 6
Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives
Ubuntu 16.04
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6
Setting up the server
Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives
# Downloading server
cd /tmp
wget https://cdn.rage.mp/lin/server
mkdir ~/ragemp_server
mv server ~/ragemp_server
cd ~/ragemp_server
chmod +x server
./server
# Firewall commands (iptables only) (dont forget to save the rule after adding it)
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 22005 -j ACCEPT
CentOS 7, Fedora 19 (and later), and derivatives
# Downloading server
cd /tmp
wget https://cdn.rage.mp/lin/server
mkdir ~/ragemp_server
mv server ~/ragemp_server
cd ~/ragemp_server
chmod +x server
./server
# Firewall commands (iptables only) (dont forget to save the rule after adding it)
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 22005 -j ACCEPT
Using screen for running the server in background
Setting up
Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives
sudo apt-get install screen
CentOS 6.x/7.x
yum install screen
Starting the server
screen -dmS RAGEMPSERVER -L bash -c 'cd ~/ragemp_server && ./server' &
# Parameter explanation
# screen -dmS = starts a separate shell without directly opening an interface towards it (detached mode). The S param defines a session name for the newly created session, so that it is easier to manage in the future.
# screen -L = basically logs whatever error that is shown by the server through the separate shell into a file for easier reference in the future.
# !IMPORTANT!
# Log output will be saved as screenlog._number_ in the server directory.
# &: IS IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO TERMINATE THE PROCESS GRACEFULLY
Stopping the server
RECOMMENDED:
kill $(ps h --ppid $(screen -ls | grep RAGEMPSERVER | cut -d. -f1) -o pid)
NOT RECOMMENDED: It does not shut down the server gracefully
screen -S RAGEMPSERVER -X quit
