[Guide] How I'm starting and shutting down my Dedicated server automatically


Recommended Posts

Hello,

here is what my new dedicated DCS World server looks like with all its automated implementation.


- During the week, start at 3:00 PM.
- On weekends, start at 10:00 AM.
- And shut down at 2:00 AM every day. 🥱 (I'm on Paris time)

Why these hours?
Because I did some statistics and based myself on the time slots where there were the most connections.
> Number of connections per day cumulated over two months by time slot <

With this, I reduced the server's running time by approximately 50%.
I naturally reserve the right to change the hours 🙂

What did I need to do this?
- Modify the bios so that the PC starts as soon as there is power ( "Restore on AC/Power Loss" to put on: "Power On").
- To start DCS and SRS, I just do that:

- Two scripts, one to launch the Discord bot (if you have one) and the other to shut down DCS, SRS and the PC before the timer cuts off the power. I put them in attachment
- The Windows Task Scheduler, my configuration looks like this: image.png )
- A plug timer (I use a Novkit TE02)

With all that, you're autonomous if you need inspiration! If you have other specific questions about your equipment, you'll need to search the documentation of your equipment, on Google (or on ChatGPT).
For other question, please ask here, or any other public place, but no PM/DM, questions could interest other people 🙂

Can we say that the server is now eco-friendly? 😇🌍

Happy virtual flights. 🕹️😁
