AssetBundles on remote server

Questions & Answers
1

Hi.

Now, upon request by my boss, I have to do this task

Some people will upload their 3D object including texture on the server side and on the server, it has to generate the AssetBundles available and store it in a location in the server side. (It will take several minute, it is no problem, we will not do in in run-time during gameplay).

Then upon receiving the URL for AssetBundles, the game on device download, extract the object to use later.

I have found here
How to build asset bundles at runtime from a server? - Unity Answers
and some answers said we can do it using Unity Editor from command.

Could you please let me know if it is possible to deploy Unity Editor on Amazon server (or whatever cloud server) so that I can call the command to generate AssetBundle automatically everytime someone uploads a 3D model to the database ?

Thank you in advance.

Assuming you can install the editor on your cloud server, have a valid license for it, and are physically able to activate, and know that the machine identity doesn’t change when Amazon (or whoever) fire up a new server, then you should be able to do what you want. The most-common problem is when the app runs headless and the activation process requires a GUI.
