Poikilos/node-enliven-minetest

This project is deferred but may be brought back in a different form. You can use the GUI to manage skins in ENLIVEN or Bucket_Game now (subgames for Minetest). This project may return to allow uploading skins with a moderator approval system (but it would still require the server to restart).

node-enliven-minetest

Manage minetestserver using a convenient web interface.

Authentication for players via the mt auth db is planned (see status at issue #2)!

Before using this webapp, make sure you have installed minetest to $HOME/minetest with the RUN_IN_PLACE option (this option is true by default in Final Minetest builds). In the future, this webapp should ask you which minetest to use: track the progress of this feature at issue #5.

The webapp must run as same user as minetestserver, and neither should run as root.

Install

• Using Terminal, cd to your EnlivenMinetest/webapp directory, then:

npm install

Features

• Upload skins.
• See Issue #2 for status of planned core feature set before use!

Usage

• Start the server: node server.js
  The server will create the public/skins directory automatically.\
• To force updating skins during startup, delete the public/skins directory if already exists and is outdated.
• In browser, go to http://localhost:64638
• For security, no overwriting of existing skins is allowed until authentication is implemented: See Issue #2 for status of the planned core feature set.

Developer Notes

This project uses passport (see https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/authenticating-nodejs-applications-with-passport--cms-21619
