Downloading DayZ server.

⚠

Instead of your_login, you must indicate your Steam login.

⚠

Updating the server is performed using the same commands as installation.

Downloading DayZ server without mods.

Public branch:

~/servers/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir ~/servers/dayz-server/ +login your_login +app_update 223350 +quit

Experimental branch:

~/servers/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir ~/servers/dayz-server/ +login your_login +app_update 1042420 +quit

Downloading DayZ server with mods.

For example, let's install two mods on a public branch: Community Framework and Community Online Tools:

~/servers/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir ~/servers/dayz-server/ +login yout_login +app_update 223350 +workshop_download_item 221100 1559212036 +workshop_download_item 221100 1564026768 +quit

Run DayZ server.

⚠

Don't forget to configure the server before running!

Run DayZ server without mods:

сd /home/your_username/servers/dayz-server/
./DayZServer -config=serverDZ.cfg -port=2301 -BEpath=battleye -profiles=profiles -dologs -adminlog -netlog -freezecheck

Run DayZ server with mods:

In this example, there will still be two mods: Community Framework and Community Online Tools.

cd ~/servers/dayz-server/
ln -s ~/servers/dayz-server/steamapps/workshop/content/221100/1559212036 ~/servers/dayz-server/1559212036
ln -s ~/servers/dayz-server/steamapps/workshop/content/221100/1564026768 ~/servers/dayz-server/1564026768
find ~/servers/dayz-server/steamapps/workshop/content/221100/ -depth -exec perl-rename -v 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \;
ln -s ~/servers/dayz-server/steamapps/workshop/content/221100/1559212036/keys/* ~/servers/dayz-server/keys/
./DayZServer -config=serverDZ.cfg -port=2301 "-mod=1559212036;1564026768;" -BEpath=battleye -profiles=profiles -dologs -adminlog -netlog -freezecheck

Ctrl+C - Close the server.

Run DayZ server as daemon with restart after crash and auto-update.

⚠

Let's create the initial scripts:

1. Without mods: nano ~/servers/dayz-server/update.sh

   ~/servers/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir ~/servers/dayz-server/ +login your_login +app_update 223350 +quit

   With mods: nano ~/servers/dayz-server/update.sh

   ~/servers/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir ~/servers/dayz-server/ +login your_login +app_update 223350 +workshop_download_item 221100 1559212036 +workshop_download_item 221100 1564026768 +quit
   rm ~/servers/dayz-server/1559212036 ~/servers/dayz-server/1564026768 ~/servers/dayz-server/keys/jacob_mango_v3.bikey
   ln -s ~/servers/dayz-server/steamapps/workshop/content/221100/1559212036 ~/servers/dayz-server/1559212036
