Valley with waterfall

Yessir!

English RP scene is back!

I often see how people are trying to start server using really strange solutions. So I thought "I need to make a good tutorial", let's get it! You need a Linux server (I use Debian 10) and installed the server. Usually I put the server in /opt directory, in this tutorial we do it same. Part One: Installing the server Let's start to install pure Multi Theft Auto linux server. As a joke from bashorg said: "it only takes three commands to install Gentoo", you have to put only two commands apt install unzip wget https://linux.multitheftauto.com/dl/multitheftauto_linux_x64.tar.gz && \ tar xvf multitheftauto_linux_x64.tar.gz && \ rm multitheftauto_linux_x64.tar.gz &&\ cd multitheftauto_linux_x64/mods/deathmatch/ && \ wget https://linux.multitheftauto.com/dl/baseconfig.tar.gz && \ tar xvf baseconfig.tar.gz && \ mv baseconfig/* . && \ rm -rf ./baseconfig/ && \ mkdir resources && cd resources && \ wget https://mirror.multitheftauto.com/mtasa/resources/mtasa-resources-latest.zip && \ unzip mtasa-resources-latest.zip && \ rm mtasa-resources-latest.zip && \ cd ../../../ && chmod +x ./mta-server64 putty_xjovvhDRiG.mp4 What are about these commands? Downloading and unpacking mta server binaries Downloading and unpacking default configs Downloading and unpacking resources Part 2: Daemonization Many of tutorials was written when systemd isn't exists. But not today. Let's make a systemd unit. Before we're starting to do it, we need to check one thing. Basically MTA Server has ncurses UI, that's can be inconvenient for daemons, so we have to check flags. Okkay! We take them all! There are a lot of guides how to make different systemd units, but I've made the config for you. You only need to put the file into /etc/systemd/system/multitheftauto.service [Unit] Description=Multi Theft Auto Dedicated server After=network.target StartLimitIntervalSec=0 [Service] Type=simple Restart=always RestartSec=1 User=root WorkingDirectory=/opt/multitheftauto_linux_x64 ExecStart=/opt/multitheftauto_linux_x64/mta-server64 -t -n -u [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target And make systemd reload the configs Need video? putty_QR8ebBKoVy.mp4 Seems like you're done all of my steps. What's next? There are good commands for management the unit 1. journalctl -u multitheftauto -n -f 2. systemctl enable multitheftauto 3. systemctl stop multitheftauto 4. systemctl restart multitheftauto 5. systemctl start multitheftauto 6. systemctl status multitheftauto 1. Reads logs in the stream 2. Enable the unit (after rebooting the server the unit will start) 3,4,5 Stop/restart/start the unit (the server) 6. Status of the unit (is it running? Stopped? and last lines from the std out) More info you may read here: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journalctl.html and here: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemctl.html

This post was an April Fools joke! We are NOT going on mobile at this time After a long time in the making, MTA team is proud to announce Multi Theft Auto for mobile available today for Android, and iOS devices! Read more on our dedicated mobile page at https://multitheftauto.com/mobile/

Looking forwards to play some MTA on the bus!
