Updates¶
From time to time, the EMSM receives some updates. Especially the server database and the server download urls. So how can you update the EMSM?
Server updates¶
Note
Some servers need to be built or don’t work out the box, which may cause problems with the
privilege downgrade of EMSM. In those cases you can either replace the server jars in the
server directory manually or you may try to execute the update command directly as
minecraft user:
$ su -i --shell=/bin/bash minecraft
$ minecraft -s "spigot latest" server --update

The server software is usually updated faster than the EMSM database. But don’t worry, you can often use the latest server software with the EMSM.
Let’s assume, the minecraft server 1.8 received a patch from mojang and you want to use it:
- Edit the
server.confconfiguration file:
[vanilla 1.8] # Setting the url here, will overwrite the value in the EMSM database. url = https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.8.1/minecraft_server.1.8.1.jar
Update the server with the
serverplugin:$ minecraft -s "vanilla 1.8" server --update
If the update fails, the old server software will be restored and nothing changed.
Please take a look at the server configuration and the
server plugin for more information.
EMSM updates¶
The EMSM is a Python package and you can simply update it using pip:
$ pip3 install --upgrade emsm
Since the instance folder is not touched by this command, there is no need for a backup before an update anymore.
If the EMSM does not work as expected after the update, take a look at the Changelog or create an issue.
