Article on how this was done

very useful information !
i ran my server on a ubuntu 16.x about 4 years ago and i remember struggling with the VM and setting it up, glad there is a howto now ! .

Thanks for making a tutorial!

1. Forcing XDisplay null stops these random crashes at start up:







It is not just an Esenthel problem?

2. Reverting the engine changes and rebuilding the engine->basicapp and trying to run it on a truly headless server outputs:


3. The goal is a "console" application so force it to run as such even when XDisplay is available to make testing more accurate even if the building/running environment has an XDisplay.

I don't know what's the problem with the sequence number stuff.

Nice, now apps built by the unmodified engine run on headless servers
