bswift Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I have some scripts that install the dedicated server, or upgrade it automatically. But it's flakey, because there is no command line way of doing this - I have to use an app to mimic a users mouse and click on buttons. Brutal! This is really a feature request to ED - whoever is creating the Windows Server version of the dedicated server, that will supposedly replace what we have today. My ask is this - make this completely automated. Give us a script, powershell or whatever, that can auto update the server, and download all maps etc. My use case: I'll create an AWS AMI builder pipeline in AWS and share the AMI for anyone that wants to use it. The reason I want an AWS AMI because I only want to start my server on-demand (via my phone or whatever), to reduce costs and not have this thing running 24 hours a day. This also means that login information to my DCS account needs to come from a config file. Setting things up by going to a website is - kinda meh. For this to work I don't need an "update server" command, as I could always just install from a clean windows machine. If someone from ED sees this, can you let me know if these asks are unreasonable or if it would be possible to do? I really would hate to see a new version come out that doesn't support an automated install process. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC_Official Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 yeah like a simple switch /Q quiet install / upgrade no user intervention required, no need to click anything, just update to latest build 1 No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .

316HornetBall Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Agreed. I've got some scripts doing the install/upgrade but they're not headless and require user interaction. I could hack.something together by monitoring log files but an officially supported headless mode would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisy Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Yes please. Like bswift I've had some success with windows gui automation, but would much prefer a command line interface.

Hi @bswiftIs this AMI available? I'm creating a Terraform project: hectorespert/dcs_world_server_terraform: DCS World Dedicated Server Terraform (github.com) to automatice the deployment of a DCS Server if your AMI is public, I would like to try it.
