Changelog

0.0.8 - 2026-09-28

Bash completion for terractl: commands, instance names, new types, console commands for cmd, reinstall/delete options, and mods actions and mod names. Installed to share/bash-completion/completions/terractl by both make install and the package.

Fixed ShellCheck warnings that made make check (and therefore make deb) fail when ShellCheck is installed: simplified the development-copy check in --version (SC2140), and marked the intentional unquoted unit list in prerm (SC2086).

Renamed the command from terraria-instance to terractl, and the package from terraria-instance to terraria-server-manager. The new package replaces the old one automatically; see "Upgrading from the terraria-instance package" in the guide.
Settings file moved from /etc/default/terraria-instance to /etc/default/terractl.
New terractl --version.
New Makefile: make check, make deb, make install, make uninstall.
Restructured the source into a git repository layout.

Fixed attach: detaching with Ctrl-D printed "jpid: unbound variable" and left a journalctl process running.

The .NET runtime that tModLoader downloads on first start (and its logs) is now kept when an instance is upgraded or re-unpacked.
New reinstall --clean to discard .NET as well and download it again.

New mods command: list, add, enable, disable, remove. Accepts the Windows export folder directly and sets file ownership.
new and prepare now create data/Mods for tModLoader instances.

Fixed prepare failing for tModLoader zips when run as root from a directory the terraria user can't enter (e.g. /root).

First Debian package. Uses /var/lib/terraria instead of /opt/terraria and /terraria, creates the terraria user and directories with sysusers.d and tmpfiles.d, and stops instances cleanly when removed.
prepare and run switch to the terraria user when started as root, so no files end up owned by root.
New delete command, with an automatic backup.
list no longer aborts when an instance's config can't be read.
