Disclaimer: I did this on my GNU/Linux server running on Debian Jessie x86_64.

I am using LXC container to "virtualize" and isolate 32-bit installation with latest packages (Debian Sid).

Code: Select all

lxc-create -n lif -t download -- -d debian -r sid -a i386
lxc-start -nlif
lxc-attach -nlif


Do preparations as root in the attached container

Code: Select all

apt-get install wine wget xvfb libpng12-0 mysql-server-5.6
# set the root password and save it for later use
useradd -m -d /home/lif -s /bin/bash lif

And then we continue as non-root user

Code: Select all

su - lif
wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
# rm -rf .wine
xvfb-run ./winetricks -q vcrun2015
wget "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz"
tar -xzvf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
./steamcmd.sh +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +login anonymous +force_install_dir lif +app_update 320850 validate +quit
cp lif/docs/default_world_config.xml lif/config/world_1.xml
cp lif/docs/config_local.cs lif/
# Edit db password in lif/config_local.cs

Requires X to run properly, so we use Xvfb

Code: Select all

xvfb-run wine lif/ddctd_cm_yo_server.exe "-worldID 1"

Yes, that is all the steps I did. No steps on Wintendo. Database gets initialized by LiF:YO dedicated server when it starts the first time.

Yes, I used standard MySQL 5.6 server that comes with Debian Sid.

You might want to tweak your database server settings, eg. merge relevant changes from MariaDB ini that comes with LiF:YO dedicated server. But you can get LiF:YO server started without doing it.

Following steps, needed by 1.1.1.11, have been added in the guide

• winetricks vcrun2015
• which needs libpng12
• and needs to be run under xvfb-run

Old wine configs can cause problems and LiF:YO server fails to start. Then you can repeat the steps from and with rm -rf .wine (currently commented out in steps).

Thanks for this, I go to try it on my ArchLinux Server but without the LXC

Do not hesitate to raise a question if you run in troubles. I have tried quite many things and might have some answers.

When I reach a working solution, I start backtracking the changes to get minimal steps for a working solution. LXC helps a lot in this process, as I can just create a new clean container to test my minimalistic steps while still having my working, usually bloated, installation for reference.

Also, as I have my LXC container with 32-bit OS installation, I do not have to fight with 32-bit compatibility in 64-bit OS.

I have now my own server running thanks for all

Hello there,

thanks for this post, but I have an issue when I try to install vcrun2015.

I don't know why but it seem to fail and then when I want to start my lif server, it say that some dll are missing.

I'm working on an ubuntu server 14.04, I've installed with lxc an ubuntu thrusty i386 distrib

there is the message i got when I launch the "xvfb-run ./winetricks -q vcrun2015"

I've tried in different distrib but somes of them didn't launch at all.
Debian distrib don't seems to work but I think because my server in an ubuntu server.

If you want more information just tell me.

Hey, I managed to get LiF:YO running on Ubuntu 14.04 using wine and xvfb, but I had a question on how to properly shut down the server.

When I start the server its still keeping me on the regular commandline and just sending the output, as such I haven't been able to find a way to properly shut down the server without having to kill the process which I assume is a bad idea.

Any way to send commands to the screen/whatever to interact with the LiF server when using xvfb?
