project-zomboid-construct

This will provide a project zomboid server runnning on EC2. Server configs will be generated at synth. If you provide a file under assets/mods.txt you can use a space seperated Modname:ModID format to list server mods. See the current mod list in this repo. This way they will be downloaded and managed at server start.

It is assumed you have a VPC and HostedZone to hook into.

The stack will provide the following:

• The four needed config files, and a systemd unit file
  • Generated by template (coming soon, more config)
• MultiPartUserData
  • Install system dependencies
  • Install game via steamcmd
  • Create cdk assets from the files generated at synth
    • Add file commands (including unzip of main files) to UserData
  • Write, enable, and start a systemd unit file on start-server.sh
• A subdomain on the provided HostedZone (server name is your domain name, without a ".com")
• Steam ingress rules
• If provided, IP address whitelisting for a set of users (required until NLB is finished)
• An EC2 instance using all above

Note: As of this commit access is provided by IP address ingress rules. This will remain until I finish the networking portion.

Config Props

Requires config interfaces for the infrastructue and game itself:

export interface InfraConfig {
  region: string,
  keyName: string;
  role: iam.IRole,
  subdomain?: string,
  vpc: ec2.IVpc,
  sg: ec2.ISecurityGroup,
  hz: r53.IHostedZone,
  vol: ec2.IVolume,
  instancetype?: string,
}

export interface GameConfig {
  distdir: string,
  servername?: string,
  modFile?: Buffer,
  public?: Boolean;
  fresh?: boolean,
}

modFile

You can provide a list of mods. Place a file called mods.txt in assets/ to load it. Otherwise the below modlist will be used. This file must be in a certain format (below) to be properly parsed. Currently this pacakge has the following mods.txt file embedded. If you want to change it. Mods are included in ther server.ini file:

Altogether after deploy a player would be able to use sub.example.com on port 16261 and 8766 as well as necessary ports for Steam.
