Saving progress before restarting the server

[DervilRus]

Please tell me how to force save server progress before server restart?

On Windows, you could press CTRL-C for the server to save the current state, how can I do this? I just don’t want to set automatic saving very often.

For now, it's autosaving

• when the last player disconnects,
• every 15 minutes.

I'm testing if I can do an rcon instruction via bash. If that's possible, this request is doable.

we could need to do a web socket connection so we could call rcon directly. We would need to use python or some other language as this is a bit out of reach of bash

We could write something up with this module pretty easily. We would need to include it into our build along with py 3.10.

This person looks to have a much cleaner way of doing this. @TrueOsiris what do you think?

1. that he is a better coder
2. that I could add

ARG GORCON_VERSION="0.10.3"
ARG GORCON_MD5SUM="8601c70dcab2f90cd842c127f700e398"

# Install GoRcon
RUN curl -fsSL -o rconcli.tar.gz https://github.com/gorcon/rcon-cli/releases/download/v${GORCON_VERSION}/rcon-${GORCON_VERSION}-amd64_linux.tar.gz \
    && echo "${GORCON_MD5SUM}" rconcli.tar.gz | md5sum -c - \
    && tar -xf rconcli.tar.gz --strip-components=1 --transform 's/rcon/rcon-cli/g' -C /usr/bin/ rcon-${GORCON_VERSION}-amd64_linux/rcon

to the Dockerfile, like he does. I could also use that to make a proper container healthcheck. Interesting.

Yeah stumbled on it and figured I would atleast share

Hi,

I lost progress because of this. I was assuming that the server will save whenever the server (or docker image) is stopped as it seems like a basic feature, however this is not the case.

Also, I noticed this:

For now, it's autosaving

• when the last player disconnects,

But this is not happening for some reason. So I'm experiencing the same issue as #88. Combined, these issues mean it is really easy to lose progress.

Is there a workaround a user could do at the moment?
