TGS Throttle

This is a script designed to limit the maximum amount of compilations that TGS can trigger at once. It does this by more-or-less replicating what TGS does in its own automatic-update logic, but with additional constraints on concurrent jobs.

Setup

• Clone this directory somewhere.
• Copy config.example.ini to config.ini and fill with credentials.
• Run composer install.
• Disable the built-in automatic-update functionality in TGS.

Usage

• Set up a cronjob to run php run.php on a small-ish interval (e.g. 2 minutes)
• Probably run the script as the same user that runs TGS

FAQ

Q: Can't I just set the update interval time for each TGS instance to a different value?

A: Ish, but those intervals can drift over time, and on systems where CPU resources are either limited or in-use, the potential for a large amount of compilations triggering at once can result in significant server slowdown.

Q: Why oh why is this written in PHP?

A: Because I wanted to and literally no one could stop me.
