Requirements

  • You must be an authorized Ventrilo provider* Linux/Unix/FreBSD
  • GameCP requires your vent key to be installed to /home/vent/secure/key
  • Ventrilo is ran in screen on the system as the `vent` user
  • This user requires a ssh dsa/rsa key.
  • This machine in Manage Machines with Ventrilo enabled.


Please note that you can only control Ventrilo with GameCP if you have an actual license with Flagship Studios (http://www.ventrilo.com). If you do not have a Ventrilo license you can only start 1 ventrilo server with 8 slots per machine.



Creating the vent user & key

  • On the box you want to manage vent on do the following: 
adduser vent
su - vent 
ssh localhost
  • You will see 
The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is a5:27:55:18:85:98:40:f2:2c:f5:6f:d1:61:49:9c:f5.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
  • Type yes
  • Hit ctrl + c to cancel
  • Change the password 
passwd
  • Exit out of the users shell, go back to root 
exit
  • SSH to your master server
  • Create and copy the key to the user: 
cd /usr/local/gcp/primary 
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f vent
  • Hit enter when asked for a passphrase
  • Install if local to master server: 
cp vent.pub /home/vent/.ssh/authorized_keys
chown vent /home/vent/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • Install if remote server
    • Replace destinationip with the ip of your ventrilo server 
scp vent.pub vent@destinationip:.ssh/authorized_keys
  • Insert your password
  • Set the correct ownership of the key
    • Typically apache or wwwdata 
chown apache /usr/local/gcp/primary/vent


  • Test the key
    • It will reply with 'vent' if the key works. 
ssh -i vent vent@localhost whoami

Create a Ventrilo install package

  • Login to the ventrilo machine using root ssh
  • Create a folder to install ventrilo to 
mkdir /usr/local/gcp/installs/vent
cd /usr/local/gcp/installs/vent
  • Download and Install ventrilo into the folder you created
  • Archive the contents of the folder, not the folder itself. 
cd /usr/local/gcp/installs/vent
chmod +x ventrilo_srv
tar -pczf /usr/local/gcp/installs/Default-Ventrilo.tar.gz *

Configure the default settings

To configure the default settings when a server is created edit the addvent file using a text editor:

  • /usr/local/gcp/bin/addvent.


Setting up status checking

GameCP requires the "ventrilo_status" program to be located in

  • /usr/local/gcp/bin/ 
cd /usr/local/gcp/installs/vent
cp ventrilo_status /usr/local/gcp/bin/
chmod +x /usr/local/gcp/bin/ventrilo_status
chown apache /usr/local/gcp/bin/ventrilo_status
Replace apache with your apache user - ie wwwdata, wwwrun, apache, nobody

If you do not have it located there your servers will show up as offline.


Installing your Ventrilo Licnese

GameCP will look for the license in the following file:

  • /home/vent/secure/key
  • Rename your vent license to "key"
  • Login to your ventrilo server
  • Create the folder /home/vent/secure/
  • Upload your "key" file to /home/vent/secure/ using ftp/scp 
su - vent
mkdir /home/vent/secure/
