ansible-role-terraria
A role to install a Terraria server.
Supported Configuration
The role supporst the following distros:
- Anything Debian-like
The only real dependency is Mono. If you can get that installed some other way, the role will probably work on any distro.
Basic Setup
Template out the role, ensuring it has root privileges. Consider setting the following vars:
terraria_name: Name of the subdirectory of the server
terraria_version: The Terraria version string, sans periods (ex. 1412)
terraria_enabled: Boolean to determine the state of the server (defaults to yes)
More handy variables can be found in defaults.
You can manage server-config through the terraria_config dictionary:
terraria_config:
maxplayers: 8
password: supersecret
Run the play and enjoy.
Administration
The role will install servers as systemd units. A server named default will have the unit terraria@default.service. The server runs as its own user.
To access the server console, invoke screen as the terraria user. For example, to access the console of a server named default, use sudo -u terraria screen -r default.
TODO
The biggest issue is that Redigit doesn't have a very... friendly server URL scheme. Often, if you want to download an updated server package, you'll have to manually change the terraria_downloadurl. Solutions to this problem are welcome.
