web/index.tsx is empty, so the web UI failed to load the plugin with "must export either a default function or WebPlugin". Plugins without a web UI, like clusterio's statistics_exporter, keep the empty file only as the webpack entry and expose just the plugin info and package.json. That is still enough for the web UI to show and edit the plugin's controller config. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ExpGaming - Auto Restart
Restarts hosts, and optionally the controller, that need a restart once nobody is playing on them.
A host needs a restart after a plugin or clusterio update, and after a config change that only applies on restart. The web UI shows this as "Restart Required". This plugin waits until the host has had no players online for a while and then sends it the same restart request the web UI button does.
Restarting a host stops every instance on it. Once the host is back, the instances that were running are started again. Instances with auto start enabled are started by the host itself.
Requirements
- Hosts must be run with
--can-restartso their process monitor starts them again. The systemd units and run scripts written by the installer do this. controller.system_metrics_intervalmust be above 0. That poll is how the controller learns a host needs a restart.- Installing a plugin on a host does not yet mark it as needing a restart, only updates and config changes do. Until clusterio does, restart the host by hand after an install.
Config
All fields are on the controller.
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
exp_auto_restart.idle_seconds |
300 | How long a host must have had no players online before it is restarted. |
exp_auto_restart.scope |
host | With cluster, players on any host hold back every restart. |
exp_auto_restart.start_instances |
true | Start the instances that were running again once the host is back. |
exp_auto_restart.restart_controller |
false | Also restart the controller when it needs it and no players are online anywhere. |
Hosts are checked every 10 seconds. A host that refuses the restart, for example because it was not run with --can-restart, is logged once and left alone until its process changes.
