Death Match state checking bot

Death Match state checking bot

Bot checks game server state each 3 minutes and reports if something changed: how many players play, which map, server unavailable.

Based on python-a2s and should support Valve Source and GoldSource servers:

• Half-Life (that's for what I developed bot and tested)
• Half-Life 2
• Team Fortress 2
• Counter-Strike 1.6
• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
• ARK: Survival Evolved
• Rust

Commands

/reg hostname port to set up server data

/state to get state right now

Settings

Token

Token should be present in env. You can write it in .env file

BOT_TOKEN = 'AVAKADAKADABRA'

or pass as container arguments

docker build -t hldm-state-bot .
docker run --name hldm-state-bot -e BOT_TOKEN='AVAKADAKADABRA' -d hldm-state-bot:latest

Please ensure that only one bot work with the same token at one time!

Time between server state checks

By the same way define BOT_PERIOD. By default 42 seconds

Development prerequisites

python -m virtualenv .venv
.venv/Scripts/activate
pip install -r .\requirements.txt

Deployment

Clone repo into some server directory, as example into ~/docker-server/hldm-state-bot

Create docker-compose.yml

version: '3.9'

services:
  hldm-state-bot:
    container_name: hldm-state-bot
    hostname: hldm-state-bot
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile

    volumes:
      - data:/app/data
    environment:
      - BOT_TOKEN=AVAKADAKADABRA
      - BOT_PERIOD=30
    restart: on-failure:7
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: '1.0'
          memory: 200M

volumes:
  data:

networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: network

Create .git/hooks/post-merge

#!/bin/sh

docker-compose up -d --build

And make it executable. Now you can run git pull to deploy from master

Or you can automate with crontab.

Run crontab -e and write schedule
