multiserver

Minetest reverse proxy supporting multiple servers and media multiplexing

Credits

This project was made possible by anon55555's Minetest RUDP package.

Modchannel RPC API

There is a modchannel-based RPC API for minetest servers: click here.

Installation

Go 1.16 or higher is required

go get github.com/HimbeerserverDE/multiserver

Updating

go get -u github.com/HimbeerserverDE/multiserver

How to use

Note: The authentication databases of the minetest servers need to be deleted before multiserver can connect to them. You can convert minetest auth databases to the multiserver auth database schema with multiserver_converter.

Running

The go get command will create an executable file in ~/go/bin/multiserver. This file should always be run from the same working directory. If you don't do this, the program will be unable to read the old data and will create the default files in the new working directory.

Configuration

The configuration file is located in WORKING_DIR/config/multiserver.yml
