[FiveM Resource Watcher] Automatically syncs git changes to server and restarts changed resources

[split frost]

Just released a Github automation tool / pipeline allows you to restart resources automatically when changes are pushed to git.

Link to the repository: https://github.com/iLLeniumStudios/fivem-resource-watcher

Features:

• Detects changes
• Restart only resources that have been changed
• Restart the whole server on changes
• Resource filters
• Works both on Linux and Windows

Benefits:
This allows you, as a server owner to have a Git Managed workflow for your server where you don't need to provide access to the VPS / Dedicated server or txAdmin console to your developers. They just push the changes to the git repository and they all get pulled and deployed automatically

[split frost]

It should work with RedM as long as it supports rcon

[split frost]

You didn’t allow SSH connections in the firewall

[split frost]

Read the readme and run the proper command mentioned in it to allow the connection

Nice, one thing I might recommend is adding an option to not restart the resource or the server. For example if you are working on any resource that streams in assets, it might crash your game if you ensure with the asset near your character (I know this happens if you restart an add-in vehicle and one is on the map)

[split frost]

That is already supported. You can pass a space separated list of resource names to resourcesToIgnore in the action and it will ignore the resources

[violet hamlet]

Is there support for a whole folder or a wildcard or would you need to list them all out individually?

[split frost]

No wildcards at the moment, but I can add it pretty easily

I’ll just add regex support, instead of just basic wildcards etc. so you can do pretty much anything with filtering
