Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1626

Cronjob task at nigh found update for application.
During steamcmd app_update process server-start.sh and ..gamenamehere64.json was rewrited.
In result , all memory parameters for java are gone.
Server start with only 1/4 of needed memory (default params from app) and crashed several times until file changes are found and reversed.

Possible solutions

create another sh file for server start? (can lead to other issues)
check base paramers for java and re-write it (too complex?)
????

What are you even talking about ? Did I miss an episode or something ?

Minimum information - to get help
Which game server you are running (e.g Rust/CS:GO).

Sorry for my google translate :-)
Project Zomboid server. appid 380870
Contains start-server.sh and ProjectZomboid64.json by default.
After issung "pzserver start", this files used for startup

During execution of steamcmd "app_update" command (pzserver u or fu) this 2 files was overwrited by update (new version of game comed out yesterday) . Main issue is -Xms and -Xmx parameters is reset to default values,far below current server configuration demands. So , server start to stall from "out of memory".

Looking for possible problem solutions. As a wild guess,

LGSM to create another .sh file for server start ? (can lead to other issues)
Modify scripts to check base paramers for java and re-write it, if modified by updates (too complex?)

As a temporally solution just revoked write permissions from this files.
Still looking for better ways

Hi,
I'm okay with DobriyDed,
Great way will be a paramter added to config server file like memory=5000
And LGSM replace in server-start.sh / ProjectZomboidXX.json with that data.

I don't think that would be necessary... using the common and instance configs the setting should persist over updates since only the _default config is overwritten afaik.

I just want to put my 2 cents in.

The game updated it's minimum requirements for memory usage. I spawned a server with 1 GB of ram, and was able to follow the LinuxGSM page pretty easily (minus a couple caveats below)

The problem is when all dependencies are there, running

./pzserver start

The user error is that it just fails to start.

Printing out the console log I can see that it was a minimum memory requirement.
That might be something good print to the screen though!

(About the dependency issue with latest Ubuntu) Also, on a fresh droplet from digital ocean, as root, On Ubuntu 18.10 x64: https://linuxgsm.com/lgsm/pzserver/

I try to run the command to install the packages. First thing I note is I have to preface with:

snap install jq

Then I can run the majority of the commands on the page (I took out jq):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt update; sudo apt install mailutils postfix curl wget file bzip2 gzip unzip bsdmainutils python util-linux ca-certificates binutils bc jq tmux lib32gcc1 libstdc++6 libstdc++6:i386 default-jre

But then even afterwards I have to run this afterwards to get the snap plug in to get rid of a warning:

sudo apt install rng-tools

I'm probably not going to check this much more, but thank you all for the hard work and have a great weekend.
