This topic is for Linux begginers who owns some Linux server and wants to run this bot on it using systemd service.
Notes:
If you copy-paste the code remove the "[root@localhost ~]# "<-- and the space.
Change the: "<your_user>" to user name you are using to connect to your machine.. If you are using root user then change the path /home/<your_user> to /root
- Create Linux service user with:
Code: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost ~]# useradd -c "SFBot acc" -d /opt/sfbot -s /sbin/nologin sfbot
- Now we can download the MFBot binary from here: http://www.mfbot.de/en/downloads/ and select the binary which fits your system. In my case I am using x86 architecture cpu so I pick "x86_64/amd64 processors (linux servers with intel processors or similar)"... You might use different one.
Code: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost sfbot]# cd /opt/sfbot/ [root@localhost sfbot]# wget http://www.mfbot.de/Download/latest/MFBot_Konsole_x86_64
- Create systemd service file.
Copy-paste these lines and save
Code: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost sfbot]# nano /etc/systemd/system/sfbot.service
Now reload the service filesCode: Alles auswählen
[Unit] Description=Magical Fidget Bot After=syslog.target After=network.target [Service] Type=simple User=sfbot Group=sfbot StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog SyslogIdentifier=sfbot EnvironmentFile=/etc/sfbot/.env WorkingDirectory=/opt/sfbot/ # Change the name of the file "MFBot_Konsole_x86_64" to the different one if you downloaded different executable ExecStart="/opt/sfbot/MFBot_Konsole_x86_64" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Now you could execute and see if service is loadedCode: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost sfbot]# systemctl daemon-reload
If you now see some lines that looks like this you did this process rightCode: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost sfbot]# systemctl status sfbot.service
Code: Alles auswählen
sfbot.service - Magical Fidget Bot Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/sfbot.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead)
- Create environment file for the future exeperiments and so on..
Create directory for .env fileCreate the empty .env fileCode: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost sfbot]# mkdir /etc/sfbot
Set the owner of the directory and .env fileCode: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost sfbot]# touch /etc/sfbot/.env
Code: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost sfbot]# chown -R sfbot:sfbot /etc/sfbot/
- Prepare the Acc.ini file which you can create on the Windows version of this app.
- Upload it to the machine to your /home/<your_user>. For example you can use WinSCP or FileZilla for uploading the file
- Copy the file and set the permissions for sfbot to see the file
Now change the owner to permit sfbot to see the file and "control" it
Code: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost ~]# mv /home/<your_user>/Acc.ini /opt/sfbot/
Code: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost ~]# chown sfbot:sfbot /opt/sfbot/Acc.ini
- If you did everything right you can now execute to start the service:
and to see if service is running:
Code: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start sfbot.service
The output should be something like thisCode: Alles auswählen
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status sfbot.service
Code: Alles auswählen
