There are other tools like [LinuxGSM](https://linuxgsm.com/) that are better suited for 24/7 servers! + +Not every game is the same to update, most games download or build the "latest" version, so there is no need to do anything if a game doesn't do a breaking change. + +Xonotic, for example, is as simple as change the version number in the main `deploy.sh` scrip, there you can also see what games use "latest" or manual version. Otherwise, look into the specific script of the game. + ## Repository The main version of this git repository is on [git.libregaming.org](https://git.libregaming.org/DeathByDenim/gameserver).
