StartMyGame (SMG)

Creates a cloud server based on a snapshot and shuts it down after a inactivity. This program is indented to work with Garrys Mod and DigitalOcean and Hetzner as cloud providers.

This software is written in Go and uses vgo (Versioned Go Prototype).

Does it makes sense for you?

Before you read all the other stuff, it's important to know what I wanted to achieve with the application and whether it makes sense for you too run it also.

If you have a small web/mail/etc. server which is running anyways, but can't support running a big game, and don't expect the game server to run full-time, then this is perfect for you.
The cloud server only bills when the game is running and there are people playing the game, so you can save a lot of money in comparision to a server which runs 24/7.

If have a game server which should run full-time, there's no need for this application, just let your server run.

A practical example for the first case, where this application makes sense:
You sometimes play with your friends and provide a server.
By using this application you just press one button, when your team wants to play and leave the server when it's over.
BUT: By using the application you save a lot money in comparision to a expensive game server which runs 24/7.

This application fits your needs? Nice
Go ahead and start with the setup.
