Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/4387

User story

As a server admin I want the included scripts to utilize the proper paths to execute properly & successfully

Game

SDTDServer

Linux distro

Ubuntu 22.04

Command

command: update, command: backup

Further information

Part of #4384 ??

(Some) Scripts/commands, when executed via console, would successfully execute & complete (though incomplete [backup])

Appears they are pointing to the /app folder & ignoring the /data

In the cron jobs screenshot, you can see I manually exec. one of the same scripts & it was successful in the log (last entry) while the same script via cron failed (top of log file)

Cron jobs & manual execution attempts:

Cron output:
crontab.log

Server setup:

Duped log files. Script creates new LOG paths, these exist under /DATA already (NOTE the symlink path):

This is an issue with the docker container. Backup does need some changes made to work better with the container. however in general I recommend using 3rd party tools for regular backups like rsync as they are more efficient than the LinuxGSM just compress it solution 😄

I understand the BACKUP script needs some tweaking, but the script execution (esp. via CRON) believes the SERVERFILES exist in the '/app' folder & NOT the '/data'.

Compose YML:
compose.txt

Server install & running:

My CRON changes (using Portainer):

I ended up rolling my own, for now. Again, I did redirect, via CONFIG-LGSM, the BACKUP location so it too existed in the /DATA folder.

## Backup Directory
backupdir="${HOME}/backup"

Could have changed the LSGM COMMAND_BACKUP script but every 'update-lgsm' would wipe it out & need to be redone. But you'd get the auto-rolling, purge & notifications (shrug)

tar -czf "${backupdir}/${backupname}.tar.gz" -C "${rootdir}" --exclude "${excludedir}"...
to
tar -czf "${backupdir}/${backupname}.tar.gz" -C / -T /data/bkup_include.txt

Cut down the (expected via LGSM) 15GB backup, as it was grabbing /SERVERFILES+, to ~420MB by removing the 'bloat' (no TMP, LOGs & SteamCMD files+)

Create & add the file/folder(s) I needed to '/data/bkup_include.txt'.

Guess I don't REALLY need the /APP folder, but it's small enough
This is specific for my '7 Days to Die' server (I only need the 'SAVES' & config file(s)):

/app/lgsm/config-default/
/app/lgsm/config-lgsm/
/app/lgsm/data/
/app/lgsm/modules/

/app/entrypoint.sh
/app/entrypoint-healthcheck.sh
/app/entrypoint-user.sh
/app/linuxgsm.sh
/app/sdtdserver

/data/config-lgsm/
/data/serverfiles/sdtdserver.xml
/data/userData/

/data/bkup_exclude.txt
/data/bkup_include.txt

Reference the same file via new script that I could add to CRONTAB (chmod +x!!) [my_backup.sh]:

#!/bin/sh

FILENAME=lgsm_$(date -d "today" +"%A").tar.gz
BACKUP="/data/backup/${FILENAME}"

# echo ${BACKUP}

tar -czf "${BACKUP}" -C / -T /data/bkup_include.txt

exitcode=$?

echo "Completed: '${BACKUP}', Exit Code: ${exitcode}, Size $(du -sh "${BACKUP}" | awk '{print $1}')"

Crontab:

#*/60 * * * * /app/sdtdserver update > /dev/null 2>&1
#
30 0 * * 0 cat /dev/null > /data/log/crontab.log                 # EVERY SUN @ 00:30
0 1 * * 0 /app/*server update-lgsm >> /data/log/crontab.log 2>&1 # EVERY SUN @ 1:00
0 3 * * 1,3,5 /app/*server restart >> /data/log/crontab.log 2>&1  # EVERY M,W,F @ 3:00
0 4 * * * /data/my_backup.sh >> /data/log/crontab.log 2>&1  # EVERY DAY @ 4:00

7 day rolling backup w/ any other logic/work:

Crontab.log

/data/backup/lgsm_Friday.tar.gz
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: Removing leading `/' from hard link targets
Completed: '/data/backup/lgsm_Friday.tar.gz', Exit Code: 0, Size 401M

vs. Docker container where /DATA is mapped (IE: Only getting what I need)

    volumes:...
      - ./:/data
      - ./userData:/data/userData # Utilized in the game's SERVER.XML.CFG file

@irobot73 commented on GitHub (Dec 23, 2023): I ended up rolling my own, for now. Again, I did redirect, via CONFIG-LGSM, the BACKUP location so it too existed in the /DATA folder. ``` ## Backup Directory backupdir="${HOME}/backup" ``` Could have changed the LSGM COMMAND_BACKUP script but every '**update-lgsm**' would wipe it out & need to be redone. But you'd get the auto-rolling, purge & notifications (*shrug*) `tar -czf "${backupdir}/${backupname}.tar.gz" -C "${rootdir}" --exclude "${excludedir}"...` to `tar -czf "${backupdir}/${backupname}.tar.gz" -C / -T /data/bkup_include.txt` Cut down the (expected via LGSM) **15GB** backup, as it was grabbing /SERVERFILES+, to **~420MB** by removing the 'bloat' (no TMP, LOGs & SteamCMD files+) Create & add the file/folder(s) I needed to '**/data/bkup_include.txt**'. - Guess I don't REALLY need the /APP folder, but it's small enough - This is specific for my '7 Days to Die' server (I only need the 'SAVES' & config file(s)): ``` /app/lgsm/config-default/ /app/lgsm/config-lgsm/ /app/lgsm/data/ /app/lgsm/modules/ /app/entrypoint.sh /app/entrypoint-healthcheck.sh /app/entrypoint-user.sh /app/linuxgsm.sh /app/sdtdserver /data/config-lgsm/ /data/serverfiles/sdtdserver.xml /data/userData/ /data/bkup_exclude.txt /data/bkup_include.txt ``` Reference the same file via new script that I could add to CRONTAB (chmod +x!!) [**my_backup.sh**]: ``` #!/bin/sh FILENAME=lgsm_$(date -d "today" +"%A").tar.gz BACKUP="/data/backup/${FILENAME}" # echo ${BACKUP} tar -czf "${BACKUP}" -C / -T /data/bkup_include.txt exitcode=$? echo "Completed: '${BACKUP}', Exit Code: ${exitcode}, Size $(du -sh "${BACKUP}" | awk '{print $1}')" ``` Crontab: ``` #*/60 * * * * /app/sdtdserver update > /dev/null 2>&1 # 30 0 * * 0 cat /dev/null > /data/log/crontab.log # EVERY SUN @ 00:30 0 1 * * 0 /app/*server update-lgsm >> /data/log/crontab.log 2>&1 # EVERY SUN @ 1:00 0 3 * * 1,3,5 /app/*server restart >> /data/log/crontab.log 2>&1 # EVERY M,W,F @ 3:00 0 4 * * * /data/my_backup.sh >> /data/log/crontab.log 2>&1 # EVERY DAY @ 4:00 ``` 7 day rolling backup w/ any other logic/work: Crontab.log ``` /data/backup/lgsm_Friday.tar.gz tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tar: Removing leading `/' from hard link targets Completed: '/data/backup/lgsm_Friday.tar.gz', Exit Code: 0, Size 401M ``` ![Screenshot from 2023-12-22 21-11-18](https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/assets/7168597/72959a53-5682-46b2-8716-f388b2647b63) ![Screenshot from 2023-12-22 21-15-21](https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/assets/7168597/51a90812-50b8-413d-903e-62fdb8917ff3) vs. Docker container where /DATA is mapped (IE: Only getting what I need) ``` volumes:... - ./:/data - ./userData:/data/userData # Utilized in the game's SERVER.XML.CFG file ``` ![Screenshot from 2023-12-22 21-29-22](https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/assets/7168597/1c0a52d7-2932-40df-95d8-f00a854d6981)

I have since added a symlink from /app/serverfiles to /data/serverfiles this should help resolve these issues. But I think more work may be required
