⁠Statsgen 2 as Docker

Statsgen 2 is a Statistics Generator for Call Of Duty 1/2/4/5, MOHAA, Spearhead, Wolfenstein/Enemy Territory and Quake Wars. Statsgen automatically downloads the server logfiles, processes them using a flexible template system, and then transmits the resultant webpages to the webserver. Templating allows the pages produced to be very flexible to fit in with the style of your clan website.

⁠Configuration

This is not your typical Docker image, as it does not contain Statsgen 2 itself. It's merely a preconfigured base image for Statsgen 2 to run in headless mode using Wine.

Before you can use/run the image, you need to perform a one-time configuration, which sets up the Statsgen 2 .ini file, templates and directory structure.

To do so, you first need to download Statsgen 2 to your local computer⁠. Statsgen2 can be run on Windows (native) or on Linux using Wine. If you're on Linux, you probably need to use winetricks to install vcrun6.

• Unzip the contents of the zipfile to a known location, for example C:\statsgen
• Next, open statsgen2.exe and go to Run --> First Time Configuration and follow the onscreen prompts.
• You can choose to either run the Statsgen Docker on the gameserver itself or FTP the logfiles over, if you're planning on running the Statsgen Docker on a remote ('homepc') machine.
• Make sure to complete the entire setup wizard, including the upload of the image packs.
• Once the setup wizard is done, you return to the main application screen. Feel free to change the sttings more to your liking, for example change the run schedule.
• When you're done, close Statsgen.
• Now open the statsgen2.ini file with a text editor such as Notepad(++) and find/replace all directories with the following location: Z:\root\statsgen\drive_c\statsgen
• Save the file and copy over the entire statsgen directory, i.e. C:\statsgen, to your Docker host, for example /opt/statsgen.
  Make sure to update the path accordingly in the docker-compose.yml.
• Optional: Should you run this Docker container on the same machine as the gameserver, then make sure to create a hardlink to your gameserver's logfile like so:
  ln /opt/cod2/main/games_mp.log /opt/statsgen/games_mp.log
  Mounting the logfile as a volume Docker container does not work for some reason (I tried).

⁠Run

Use the included docker-compose.yml to start the container.

⁠Updating/changing the Configuration

If you need to change anything to your statsgen2.ini configuration file, make sure to stop the Docker container first before doing so.

⁠Advanced Usage using crontab

If you want, you can use cron to schedule Statsgen to run. To do so, you'll have to build the Docker image yourself and add -runonce at the end of the ENTRYPOINT.
This will cause statsgen to start, perform a stats run, then exit and thus the container will stop.
Make sure to remove restart: always from the compose file as well, else it will keep restarting infitenly.

Schedule the Docker using crontab -e as follows:
33 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/docker-compose -f /opt/statsgen2/docker-compose.yml start > /dev/null
