Source.Python forums

In the light of MOTDPlayer v2 completion, I've made a video tutorial on how to:

1. Install Debian into a VMWare Workstation Player
2. Prepare your Linux setup to run a web-server with MOTDPlayer
3. Install and configure CCP+MOTDPlayer SRCDS parts into your Source Dedicated Server
4. Install and configure CCP+MOTDPlayer web-server parts into your Linux setup
5. Synchronize SRCDS with a web-server using a secret salt
6. Check that everything works using an example WebSocket plugin that is shipped with MOTDPlayer

Possible use cases:

• (production) You rent a VDS with any Linux OS (in this case you skip step 1, but you will also need to setup nginx - that's not covered in the tutorial);
• (development) You want to test your MOTDPlayer application (in this case you do the full tutorial);

Make sure you check the video description! There're time tags that lead you to different parts of the tutorial.

*list of things that changed in MOTDPlayer since the tutorial was posted*

1. Flask application now requires path.py lib installed. Corresponding command was added to the "Commands used in Linux terminal" section.
2. MOTDPlayer config and secret salt locations were moved to cfg/source-python/motdplayer/

Commands used in Linux terminal:
To install uWSGI on Linux Mint
