Easy DIY Linux Install

[plesky]

You can technically setup the bin folder anywhere, put the executables inside it, as long as your symlinks point to them. One time, I created a bin folder, right inside the server folder and put them in there to run them.

In the original linux install, it created a /home/eqemu/server_source and /home/eqemu/server_build (which also created a bin inside of that) when the binaries were compiled.

If you follow the instructions for compiling, at the end of that readme-setup, whatever build directory is used for compiling, it will create a bin folder there.

Yep, that's how the docker runs it. Too bad the docker itself didn't work, either, but I won't get into that in this thread lol. I'll probably just end up going back to creating the 10 zones manually for now. I really can't figure out where the hickup is at this point and I feel like I've checked virtually everything.

I would assume, the biggest hurdle in anyone creating a full install script for linux, would simply be having solid download links for the installer. When I was having problems compiling current code in debian 11, there was updates needed that I couldn't get from debian repo anymore, I had to upgrade to debian 12 to get what I needed for a smooth compile. (debian 11 is fading into the woodwork), lol

The docker install, I "think" was created by that Akkadius that left recently. I'm not sure.

Yep, it was. Someone updated the docker 2 weeks ago to "fix all the links". Maybe something isn't quite right with it still.

I've only worked with Ubuntu personally. That was the last thing I could think of, that maybe this one quirk is related to running the newer 24.04, but who knows at this point lol.
