TekBASE - Update 7.5.5

April 19, 2016

Today there is another update for TekBASE. With this we expand the functionality in the web interface with soft limits for game servers. That means, you as an administrator can specify how much storage each game may occupy and TekBASE checks whether a customer exceeds this limit.

The function is similar to that for the AutoDJ of the stream servers. However, the customer's game server is not automatically stopped here. Rather, you see in the admin area directly on the start page a list of customers who exceed the limit. With a few clicks you can then send the customer a pre‑written email with a notice.

We have initially decided against an automatic blocking of the game servers, because game servers are not rented based on storage space, unlike the AutoDJ of the stream servers. Install the update as usual and please also update the scripts of the root servers via TekBASE. Additionally, you need a cron job for each root server. A short guide can be found in the update itself.
