Nice script,
this will definitively come in handy for those people that are trying to get Pluto dedicated servers working on headless linux instances and in docker containers.

[Mr. Android]

Agreed -very nice indeed

Edit: We've moved the thread and pinned it.

As I have no life I've started work on a rewrite in rust, which drastically improves speed and also allows the updater to run on windows.

Thread updated for the rust updater, which is not only way faster but also runs on Linux and Windows.

The original bash script will still be available on GitHub.
