How To Manage Factorio Server

Prerequisites:

  1. Paste the service account key JSON file created during Terraform deployment into the repository root and name it factorio-management-key.json.
  2. Authenticate gcloud using the service account key:
gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file=factorio-management-key.json
  1. Set your project:
gcloud config set project private-factorio-server
  1. You are good to go! Use the scripts in the scripts directory to manage your Factorio server.

Commands:

  • ./scripts/start-server.sh - Start the Factorio server
  • ./scripts/stop-server.sh - Stop the Factorio server

HTTP API Management

Once the server is running, you can manage it remotely via HTTP API on port 8080:

Get Server Information

# Get server IP from terraform
SERVER_IP=$(cd /path/to/terraform && terraform output -raw server_ip)

# Check server status
curl http://$SERVER_IP:8080/factorio/status

# Get API URL directly  
curl http://$SERVER_IP:8080/factorio/time

Save Management

# List all saves
curl http://$SERVER_IP:8080/factorio/saves

# Load a specific save
curl -X POST http://$SERVER_IP:8080/factorio/load/default

# Upload and auto-load save
curl -X POST http://$SERVER_IP:8080/factorio/upload-save \
  -F "saveFile=@/path/to/save.zip" \
  -F "autoLoad=true"
