I hosted a multi-player server for my friends and it was a blast. The Docker image makes it so easy: https://github.com/bateau84/openttd

It's quite nice to see how technology has developed since then. A few years ago I wrote a wrapper around the openttd server to allow easier hosting (as well as putting it in a chroot) - now with docker/podman/... something like this is way more accessible. I've just created a mirror of the old repository on github, in case anybody is interested in that for historical reasons: https://github.com/bwachter/ttd_addons

https://github.com/bwachter/ttd_addons/blob/master/ttdconsol... is another example of progress - if I remember correctly at the time I did this inotify was in development outside the kernel tree. Nowadays solving this would be trivial with inotify on Linux - and other UNIX variants also mostly gained some form of file monitoring API.
