Can't install mod using ficsit cli (no tui)

I found a workaround by creating the profiles json file manually https://github.com/satisfactorymodding/ficsit-cli/issues/72#issuecomment-2436314810

I found the "profiles" definitions in /home/steam/.local/share/ficsit/profiles.json That's where I could define my list of mods and their version requirements

{
    "profiles": {
        "Default": {
            "mods": {
                "FicsitRemoteMonitoring": {
                    "version": ">=1.0.10",
                    "enabled": true
                }
            },
            "name": "Default",
            "required_targets": null
        }
    },
    "selected_profile": "Default",
    "version": 0
}

{
    "profiles": {
        "Default": {
            "mods": {
                "FicsitRemoteMonitoring": {
                    "version": ">=1.0.10",
                    "enabled": true
                }
            },
            "name": "Default",
            "required_targets": null
        }
    },
    "selected_profile": "Default",
    "version": 0
}

after that a quick ficsit apply downloads the mods in my installation! I think this might be worth documenting in ficsit's doc

@Arrhythmix But maybe the SSM mod list (profile) is stored in a standard file somewhere? ficsit-cli can apply a profile locally , so that might just work around the issue! I just tried with /config/gamefiles/FactoryGame/Mods/default-lock.json but that might not be it

That's fair, but it doesnt make sens to expose an sftp server and port from my container just to install a server-only mod. (I'm looking at https://ficsit.app/mod/FicsitRemoteMonitoring plugged in with a custom prometheus and grafana deployment) Additionally, ficsit-cli clearly has the ability to install mods locally, just not through command lines. Its probably just missing a few cli options that reuse the same code under the hood. I opened an issue directly on the github repo. https://github.com/satisfactorymodding/ficsit-cli/issues/72 Maybe at some point I'll have to learn go and make a pr myself :/ Lastly, containers should stay as stateless as possible. In my case, there's a save game that's on a mounted volume, but apart from that, everything is automated either at image creation of container launch. It's in line with the container philosophy (yes im a nerd). For example I could automate mod updates on container launch instead of keeping this step manual with your suggested workflow.

Can't install mod using ficsit cli (no tui)

I'm tempted to install manually (with bash commands of course) But its clearly not recommended, and not even documented https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/ManualInstallDirections.html#_installing_mods_on_linux

👋 how can we use ficsit cli to install mods without the TUI? let's say in a Dockerfile. There are no documented options to add mods to a profile or directly to an installation

Can't install mod using ficsit cli (no tui)

Thats a good point! I would love to use a cli mod manager, very much like any package manager (apt, snap, chocolatey, etc.) I'd see people declare their mods as something along those lines:

> ficsit installation add ./gamefiles
> ficsit mods install \
    FireworksLauncher \
    LaserBeacons \
    TurboPump

> ficsit installation add ./gamefiles
> ficsit mods install \
    FireworksLauncher \
    LaserBeacons \
    TurboPump

or even using a requirements file, with embeded versions constraints

> cat mods.req
FicsitRemoteMonitoring >= 1.0.0
FireworksLauncher >= 0.1.2

> ficsit mods install -f mods.req

> cat mods.req
FicsitRemoteMonitoring >= 1.0.0
FireworksLauncher >= 0.1.2

> ficsit mods install -f mods.req

Can't install mod using ficsit cli (no tui)

thanks for the quick answer, Robb. While it doesnt answer my question directly (even the docs don't mention how to install mods), I appreciate that you are all working on making mods compatible with 1.0 🙂 I've got lots of experience with docker, kubernetes and cloud providers, my development skills are rusty. If I can be helpful let me know!
