View source for Dedicated Server Linux

== Running the MARNE Dedicated Server on Linux ==

=== Prerequisites ===

Ensure the following dependencies are installed:

* Git
* Podman
* A text editor (e.g. vim)

=== Generating <code>auth.toml</code> ===

Download the pre-release version of maxima from [https://github.com/silkker/MARNE/releases/tag/0.1 here]

After logging in, locate the generated <code>auth.toml</code> file:

* '''Windows''':
  <code>%APPDATA%\Roaming\ArmchairDevelopers\Maxima\data</code>

* '''Linux''':
  <code>$HOME/.local/share/maxima</code>

Copy the contents of <code>auth.toml</code> into the same <code>auth.toml</code> inside the MARNE repository.

=== Podman Setup ===

On the machine that will host the dedicated server, execute the following commands individually:

<pre>
git clone https://github.com/silkker/MARNE
cd MARNE
vim auth.toml   # Paste the contents from your main machine
vim tmux.conf   # Optional (uncomment from Containerfile if used)
podman build --no-cache -t marne_tonga:latest .
</pre>

=== Running the Container ===

Run the container with:

<pre>
podman run --replace -it \
  --name marne_tonga \
  -p 25200:25200/udp \
  -p 11079:11079/tcp \
  --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
  marne_tonga:latest
</pre>

Type exit once it gets into a shell.

Start the container by running

<pre>
podman start -ai marne_tonga
</pre>

=== Game Directory Setup ===

Create the Battlefield 1 directory:

<pre>
mkdir -p /opt/games/bf1
</pre>

Run Maxima setup:

<pre>
wlheadless-run -c cage -- $HOME/maxima.sh
</pre>

(Press <code>Ctrl+C</code> once completed.)

=== Registry Configuration ===

Import required registry files:

<pre>
PROTONPATH=$HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/proton \
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/prefix \
umu-run $HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/prefix/drive_c/windows/syswow64/regedit.exe \
$HOME/dll_overrides.reg
</pre>

<pre>
PROTONPATH=$HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/proton \
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/prefix \
umu-run $HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/prefix/drive_c/windows/syswow64/regedit.exe \
$HOME/bf1.reg

Rename the original anti-cheat launcher:

<pre>
mv /opt/games/bf1/EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe \
   /opt/games/bf1/EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe.bak
</pre>
