Linux is much different from Windows and there are quite some issues which appear due to Oxide itself or system misconfigurations. Therefore there are certain recommendations when using this system.
sysctl
configuration
There are some common Linux kernel configurations that most should apply. To do this, you should start editing /etc/sysctl.conf
with nano /etc/sysctl.conf
or any other editor you might prefer. Afterwards you should append the following contents to its end:
vm.max_map_count = 262144
# You may use higher values though, the negative effects are negligible - see https://archive.is/xyaA6
Save the file with Ctrl+O
in nano
or the appropriate method in your editor, and run sysctl -p
to apply it.
Plugin watchers
You might have noticed some of the settings in /oxide/config/oxide.config.json
before, and Plugin Watchers
is one of them. It enables automatic loading/… of plugins when adding files to the /oxide/plugins/
folder. However it may cause stalls on your Linux game servers and therefore it is recommended to disable Plugin Watchers
by setting the value to false
.
