Artix s6 init Minetest Server setup

As of this time of writing, there isn't currently a minetest-server-s6 package in Artix's package repos.

This repo will get you started in the meantime.

Install

1. Files prepended by minetest- in their path must go in /etc/s6/adminsv/ (ex /etc/s6/adminsv/minetest-log/run).
2. The minetest-env.conf file must be renamed and moved to /etc/s6/config/minetest.conf
3. Edit that file so MINETEST_GAMEID is set to a minetest game found in /var/lib/minetest/.minetest/games
4. Mark both run files and /etc/s6/adminsv/minetest-srv/finish as executible.
5. Make a simlink inside /etc/s6/adminsv/minetest-srv/ called Working Dir (with a space) pointing to /var/lib/minetest/.minetest
6. Make an empty directory /etc/s6/adminsv/minetest-srv/event/
7. Add the minetest service group to default so it runs on boot
8. reload the s6 database

You should now be able to start or stop minetest, or even reboot.

Postgresql

To use postgresql the service must be installed, so be sure that postgresql-s6 (or whatever it's called) is present on your system.

I won't tell you how to set up postgresql with minetest, but to ensure it starts before minetest-srv do this:

1. mkdir /etc/s6/adminsv/minetest-srv/dependencies.d
2. touch /etc/s6/adminsv/minetest-srv/dependencies.d/postgresql
