Free server packages software for linux

Fedora Package Menu is a service menu for easy installation of downloaded RPMs.

Requires sudo and good configuration of sudo.

The SME Server server and gateway is free software (also referred to as open-source software) and is freely available for anyone to download.
This software is brought to you by the community and contribs.org. Many individuals and organizations (both commercial and non-profit) use the SME Server as their primary network server and gateway.
We would like to remind you that the SME Server software is licensed under the General Public License (GPL). This means that if you alter the software and distribute the altered version, you must make the source code for your altered version freely available.
The GPL is a large part of why free software has made such an impact on the commercial scene. By restricting anyone from making proprietary modifications, the GPL ensures that improvements find their way back to the original code base, thereby creating an explosive rate of technical advance.
The difference between traditional development and GPL development is the difference between a light bulb - where output is radiated in many directions - and a laser - where output is reflected back in a coherent way to produce a greater, more focused result.
Its main design focus is simple, centralized configuration, along with security and ease of installation.
Enhancements:
- This release is based on CentOS 4.5 and all packages have been updated to the latest releases. This release contains many new features, all released updates for SME Server 7.1 and fixes for many reported problems. Upgrades will be available by CD, the Software Installer and command line. All users should upgrade to this release.

Net::Server is an extensible, generic Perl server engine. Net::Server combines the good properties from Net::Daemon (0.34), NetServer::Generic (1.03), and Net::FTPServer (1.0), and also from various concepts in the Apache Webserver.
Net::Server attempts to be a generic server as in Net::Daemon and NetServer::Generic. It includes with it the ability to run as an inetd process (Net::Server::INET), a single connection server (Net::Server or Net::Server::Single), a forking server (Net::Server::Fork), a preforking server which maintains a constant number of preforked children (Net::Server::PreForkSimple), or as a managed preforking server which maintains the number of children based on server load (Net::Server::PreFork). In all but the inetd type, the server provides the ability to connect to one or to multiple server ports.
Net::Server uses ideologies of Net::FTPServer in order to provide extensibility. The additional server types are made possible via "personalities" or sub classes of the Net::Server. By moving the multiple types of servers out of the main Net::Server class, the Net::Server concept is easily extended to other types (in the near future, we would like to add a "Thread" personality).
Net::Server borrows several concepts from the Apache Webserver. Net::Server uses "hooks" to allow custom servers such as SMTP, HTTP, POP3, etc. to be layered over the base Net::Server class. In addition the Net::Server::PreFork class borrows concepts of min_start_servers, max_servers, and min_waiting servers.
Net::Server::PreFork also uses the concept of an flock serialized accept when accepting on multiple ports (PreFork can choose between flock, IPC::Semaphore, and pipe to control serialization).

QEMU Server Tools is a set of simple command-line scripts for managing multiple QEMU VMs easily without requiring a graphical frontend.

QEMU Server Tools organizes VMs into directories and mimics the usage of command line tools from VMware Server.

Dystopia is a Half-Life 2 modifcation which places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punks or Corp Mercenaries the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace.

Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the worlds network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to hack into systems linked to the physical world, fight off enemy hackers or defend critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two.

The player will be immersed in action packed battles, whether as a heavily augmented combat mercenary armed to the teeth with the latest in firepower and implants, or a twitch reflex cyberdecker racing to infiltrate a cyberspace node. Only through skillful use of the high tech arsenal were making available and intelligent team play will players truly jack-in and kick ass.

Note: System used was Ubuntu Breezy Badger 2.6.12-9

Installation:

Log in as root

Create a user (EX. hlds, dystopia, srcds, etc..) with the command:

adduser hlds

Give that user a password

passwd hlds

Create a directory somewhere as that user where the server files and game files will go and go to that directory

mkdir /home/hlds/srcds

Make the owner of that directory your new user

chown hlds /home/hlds/srcds

Either login as that user or change to that user with the command

su hlds

Get the linux hlds update tool accurate as of 2/22/07

wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin

Change the file to be executable

chmod ugo+x hldsupdatetool.bin

Run the hldsupdatetool.bin

./hldsupdatetool.bin

If you see an error about not finding /bin/uncompress type

ln -s /bin/gunzip /bin/uncompress && ./hldsupdatetool.bin

Answer the agreement
Run the steam file that is extracted

./steam

It will update itself and then tell you to rerun the command, do so, but changed. This will take a while

./steam -command update -game hl2mp -dir .

Download the Dystopia V1 server package

wget dystopia_v1_server.tar.gz

Extract the files in your srcds folder

tar -xvzf dystopia_v1_server.tar.gz

Configuration:

Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/cfg/server.cfg with your editor of choice. This file is run at every map change.

Comment out or remove the following line.

map dys_assemble

This must be done or you server will not start properly.
Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/cfg/valve.rc with your editor of choice. This file is run at server start

Add in the line the following line.

map dys_assemble

This map can be whatever you like your server to start on. If you do not do this, your server will not start properly.
Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/motd.txt with your editor of choice
Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/mapcycle.txt with your editor of choice

Starting the Server - Basic

Go to your srcds directory, whatever it is named

cd ~/srcds

Use the following command to start your server, this is a basic setup, replace 1.1.1.1 with the ip you want your server to report. You can also leave out the +ip 1.1.1.1 and it will take the first IP it can get

./srcds_run -game dystopia_v1 +maxplayers 20 -ip 1.1.1.1 -port 27015 &

To bring the console back so you can type commands into the console. use the command

fg

This will not always work.

The drawback to this method is that once you start it and then exit your ssh session you will not be able to get it back (at least I dont know of a way, if you do, let me know and Ill add it)

Starting the server - Advanced

Check to see if you have the screen command

screen

If you do, proceed, if not, get it. Create a shell script with the following commands. To do so, open a file in your favorite text editor (*nix only please). I named the file serverStart.sh

#!/bin/sh echo "Starting Dystopia Beta Server" sleep 1 cd /home/hlds/srcds screen -A -m -S dystopia /home/hlds/srcds/srcds_run -game dystopia_v1 +maxplayers 20 -ip 1.1.1.1 -port 27015

Make the shell script executable

chmod ugo+x serverStart.sh

Once its up and running, to exit the screen without closing it use the following key combo

ctrl+A,D (ctrl+A and then while still holding a, press d)

To retrieve the screen so that you can look at the console

screen -r
