In order to keep compatibility with existing containers, we'll use the same paths for user-related overrides, that is, /app/config, /app/logs or /app/plugins. Instead, the only thing we'll do is moving ASF away from /app to new /asf directory, which will hopefully limit amount of screwups that users are doing within existing /app directory.
Also while at it, add symlink for a bit better integration.
- On start, we create/load crash file, if previous startup was less than 5 minutes ago, we also increase the counter
- If counter reaches 5, we abort the process, that is, freeze the process by not loading anything other than auto-updates
- In order for user to recover from above, he needs to manually remove ASF.crash file
- If process exits normally without reaching counter of 5 yet, we remove crash file (reset the counter), normal exit includes SIGTERM, SIGINT, clicking [X], !exit, !restart, and anything else that allows ASF to gracefully quit
- If process exits abnormally, that includes SIGKILL, unhandled exceptions, as well as power outages and anything that prevents ASF from graceful quit, we keep crash file around
- Update procedure, as an exception, allows crash file removal even with counter of 5. This should allow crash file recovery for people that crashed before, without a need of manual removal.
This addresses two things:
- It allows for better load-balancing, as STD refresh can be postponed for a short while after bot logs in - it has more important matters to handle right away, and STD is optional/supportive plugin.
- It helps @xPaw sleep better at night working around fools with their ASFs crashing thirty times per second due to third-party plugins.
