OpenRA on RaspberryPi

First Step

1. Make sure you have "RASPBIAN JESSIE" as OS on your Pi
2. You need a established connection via network-cable to get the server working at the end

The following list provides package dependencies required for running OpenRA as dedicated server. This is a community initiative, be prepared to get your hands dirty.

Running on Raspbian

sudo apt-get install mono-runtime libmono2.0-cil libsdl2-2.0 \ 
                     libmono-system-core4.0-cil libmono-system-drawing4.0-cil libmono-system-data4.0-cil \ 
                     libmono-system-numerics4.0-cil libmono-system-runtime-serialization4.0-cil \
                     libmono-system-xml-linq4.0-cil libgl1-mesa-dri liblua5.1-0
   
wget https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/releases/download/release-20151224/openra_release.20151224_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i openra_release.20151224_all.deb 

sudo cp /usr/lib/openra/launch-dedicated.sh /usr/lib/openra/my-dedicated.sh

Now edit /usr/lib/openra/my-dedicated.sh server settings as explained at installation steps.

Port Forwarding

Make sure you have forwarded the necessary ports for your OpenRA server in your router.

You can look up the address of your Raspberry PI with the command ifconfig ... find "eth0" and then - "inet adress"

Run OpenRA dedicated on system startup

sudo su
useradd -d /home/openra -m -s /sbin/nologin openra
