the functional backend utility
Taurus is a utility to administer backups with future integration with rsync. Many other features are either included or planned such as chat bridges using rcon and/or parsing the pipe output from programs/games.
This bot is meant to be interacted with through a 'frontend' using a websocket. A javascript example of this is included in js folder. Future additions will allow copies of itself to communicate with each other across servers.
Doing this has a few effects, primarily, it isolates a whole set of issues to the code that is running in the front. Stability like this is important with things that handle file system operations such as backups, as this is why I've split like this.
This has similar use cases to this, however I feel it is far more efficient.
it is recommended you have cargo installed
ensure that you have tar, tmux, and git; this was only tested on linux, however, any *nix based system should support it, and wsl2 for windows should also function fine.
$ wget https://github.com/NotCreative21/taurus/blob/master/install.sh -sSf | sh
- the lld linker can be used to improve compiling times
The required configuration files will be generated on the initial run, additional optional configs can be filled out for more features.
Websocket command info:
| Command | arguments | response | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSG | message to send | None | send a chat message to any session labeled "game" |
| URL | [TEXT] | None | sends a clickable url in game chat |
| LIST | None | list sessions with online players of each | equal to sending "list" with RCON |
| BACKUP | <SESSION_NAME> | result of attempt to start backup | updates/creates(if it doesn't already exists) an incremental copy on disk of the world folder, then creates a gzip archive of the folder with a timestampted name |
| CP_REGION | <SESSION_NAME> <REGION_X> <REGION_Z> | url to region | copies the specified structure into the webserver directory and returns a url to it, note: only include the region x and z numbers not anything else |
| LIST_BRIDGES | None | a formatted list of the chat bridges and their states | shows info on each session |
| RM_BACKUP | <BACKUP_NAME> | result of attempting to delete file | can remove backups from file name |
| TOGGLE_BRIDGE | <SESSION_NAME> | shows if state was toggled | can toggle the chat bridge of a singular session |
| CMD | <SESSION_NAME> command | None | send a command to a certain session, can be shell or in game command |
| RCON | response to the sent command | executes command with rcon | |
| CP_STRUCTURE <SESSION_NAME> <STRUCTURE_NAME> | url to the structure | copies the specified structure into the webserver directory and returns a url to it | |
| LIST_STRUCTURES | <SESSION_NAME> | list structure files in the session | shows all files in the structure folder |
| LIST_BACKUPS | None | list of backups | list all files ending with .tar.gz in the backup folder |
| RESTART | None | restarting... or failed to execute restart script | executes restart script |
| SHELL | None | execute a shell command | |
| HEARTBEAT | None | true or false | determines if the system has high ram usage, storage usage, etc. |
| CHECK | None | string of info about system | shows the ram usage, cpu usage, storage usage of the server etc. |
| PING | None | PONG timestamp | returns unix timestamp in ms of system time |
