Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/3010

User Story

As a developer/devops, I want to build docker images for gameservers so that I can automate image builds.

Basic info

Distro: [Ubuntu *]
Game: [ARK Server] (probably any steamcmd gameserver is affected)
Command: [Validate]
LinuxGSM version: [v20.4.1]

Further Information

When I run ./arkserver validate in my Travis pipeline, it fails as it exceeds the allowed log size.
When I run ./arkserver validate in my docker container, the ./logs/script/arkserver-steamcmd.log grows huge

Failure:

https://travis-ci.com/github/DrPsychick/docker-linuxgsm-ark/builds/181904935

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

./arkserver validate (or docker run -it --rm --name test drpsychick/linuxgsm-ark:broken validate)
in parallel terminal watch: ls -lah ./log/script/ (or docker exec -it test /bin/bash, then ls -lah ./logs/script/)
notice the massive output on the console and how huge the logfile is and how many duplicate lines are inside

Example:

Log is already over half a GB and progress is still at 0%:

[ lgsm@124ac1bba8a2:~$ ls -lah ./log/script/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 lgsm lgsm 631M Aug 29 18:16 ./log/script/arkserver-script.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 lgsm lgsm 573M Aug 29 18:16 ./log/script/arkserver-steamcmd.log
lgsm@124ac1bba8a2:~$ tail ./log/script/*

[  0%] Downloading update (0 of 51248 KB)...

Expected behaviour

./arkserver validate only logs download progress
- steamcmd only logs when download progresses (i.e. no duplicate lines)
As LGSM cannot fix steamcmd, this is a workaround until Valve has fixed the issue in steamcmd

Suggested solution (workaround)

Pipe output of steamcmd through uniq to only print and log unique lines. It is still a lot, but works and prevents a huge log file.

See pr #3011

Success: (with a workaround that adds uniq to steamcmd in core_dl.sh)

https://travis-ci.com/github/DrPsychick/docker-linuxgsm-ark/builds/181916870

Example (with the suggested fix):

The validate command is still slow sometimes, but duplicate lines get removed by uniq.
