Ah yes, it's running as the user which launched the process ergo it's in ~/.minetest ; my bad

All mods, etc will need to be managed from there then

Sounds like you've got it sorted though.

Anyone tried updating to .15 yet?

[taikedz]

Updating what to .15 ? Servers?

Most of mine are (or two commits behind 0.4.15 ... which reminds me I need to deploy newest build...)

Any concerns you want to ask about?

[KzoneDD]

Yeah, server :) Mainly how to do it safely. :)

[taikedz]

Compile a new minetest binary and run that instead of the normal one.

If you are really paranoid back up the world folder fidst of course.... and db.... etc etc. I *expect* the db format is unchanged if thats your concern but maybe put specific q.s in the 0.4.15 thread....?

[KzoneDD]

Had to update some mods but other than that, no issues. Thanks for the reassurance. :)

[taikedz]

No worries. I recompile the server binary every so often, most of the time it's just a matter of slotting the new binary into the place of the older one. Keeping the older one as a `minetestserver.bak` file is always a good idea until you have determined the new one works to satisfaction ;-)

I'm actually doing some work on trying to get a ansible+docker+jenkins+scritps setup together to automate a good lot of this...

Eventually it'll just be a matter of download a set of scirpts and then hey ho, always-fresh server on the go...! :-p
