Updating linux server..

Recommended Posts

Since the update patch is an exe file, I can't apply it on our linux server. What's the easiest way to go about upgrading our linux server?

I only have 1mbit uplink here, so uploading all the PBOs from my 1.60 game to the server will take days....

I'm in the same boat as you, Preed (Linux server + 896k upload). Two options:

1. Update your local installation and diff the PBOs. If there's only a few changed, upload them.

2. Start up an Amazon EC2 instance with Windows, download OA and update it to 1.60, then re-upload.

Looks like there are quite a few changed files - probably a few GBs worth. For those of us on low-upload connections, looks like the second option is the best.

a) ask a friend for a server to server transfer

b) use rsync/zsync to reduce the upload

c) upload and wait
