Problem Description

Issue

In template file on github it shows /hytale/Server as workdir but in my case it tries to run .jar file from root, and when I move it it’s missing ../Assets.zip because it tries to look at the upper directory when it’s in instance’s root. I know that the guide mentions that arm is not supported but only hytale-downloader doesn’t work, the server itself works on arm.

Reproduction Steps

  • Move zipped hytale files from my pc
  • Unzip into hytale folder
  • Try to start
2

You add the files into the hytale directory from the ADS file manager

So:
VDS_INSTANCNAME/hytale/Assets.zip
VDS_INSTANCNAME/hytale/Server/HytaleServer.jar etc

3

I’m actually planning on changing this now so the server looks for Assets.zip in the Server folder (and moves it if it is in the old location)

Makes it easier for someone to add all the server files manually via the instance’s file manager or SFTP rather than needing to go via ADS

4

Before it’s implemented I would suggest adding a section about uploading files manually using sftp to the guide.

AMP now handles download on ARM. No need for manual file upload
