I confirm:

• that I have searched for an existing module request for this application.
• that the server is an official server distributed by the games publishers/developers.
• that the server is available to the general public.
• that the server can be run headless (without a GUI).
• I have already attempted to create a configuration myself using the configuration tool

Template is in my dev branch. Only works on Windows.

The readme included with the server files provided some additional info on settings but it is still not clear to me how the UDP ports work. It seems to suggest multiple matches can be run on the one server at the same time.

I've configured the template to have 3 UDP server ports, but I don't know whether that is necessary or appropriate.

It's also one of those poor servers that write data to a common location, so multiple servers all write to the same place.

as far as I know, yeah, multiple matches can be ran off of one server. Not sure how it matters for ports though.

Is it not possible to run this through Wine or something similar to make it work on Linux? That was my hope, as I've got AMP installed on my linux server

[Greelan]

Each match appears to use its own port in the range. Silly design

I tried it ofc with Wine. The server starts but then crashes, I suspect because the server tries to start the secondary db processes (postgresql, redis) as native applications

Ok! i'm not sure if I can run 2 amp instances on my network(1 from my linux server and one from windows) since they'll both try to use port 8080, if thats possible i can test this out then

[Greelan]

Course you can, you just can't port forward both (if you wanted to)

The server would actually work on Linux if you set up separate PostgreSQL and Redis servers and configured the KC server to use those, so it doesn't try to use the internal (Windows) DB servers
