serverUp uses hex spaghetti to send and receive a short sequence of packets, to see whether a server is online. The packet format is now annotated for easier cross-reference with minetest source.
Minetest server list
Setting up the webpage
You will have to install node.js, doT.js and their dependencies to compile the server list webpage template.
First install node.js, e.g.:
# apt-get install nodejs
# # OR:
# pacman -S nodejs
# # OR:
# emerge nodejs
Then install doT.js and its dependencies:
$ cd ~
$ npm install dot commander mkdirp
And finally compile the template:
$ cd static
$ ~/node_modules/dot/bin/dot-packer -s . -d .
You can now serve the webpage by copying the files in static/ to your web root, or by starting the master server.
Embedding the server list in a page
<head>
...
<script>
var master = {
root: 'http://servers.minetest.net/',
limit: 10,
clients_min: 1,
no_flags: 1,
no_ping: 1,
no_uptime: 1
};
</script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<div id="server_list"></div>
...
</body>
<script src="list.js"></script>
Setting up the server
- Install Python 3 and pip:
pacman -S python python-pip
# OR:
apt-get install python3 python3-pip
- Install required Python packages:
# You might have to use pip3 if your system defaults to Python 2
pip install -r requirements.txt
- If using in production, install uwsgi and it's python plugin:
pacman -S uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python
# OR:
apt-get install uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python
# OR:
pip install uwsgi
-
Configure the server by adding options to
config.py. Seeconfig-example.pyfor defaults. -
Start the server:
$ ./server.py
$ # Or for production:
$ uwsgi -s /tmp/minetest-master.sock --plugin python -w server:app --enable-threads
$ # Then configure according to http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/deploying/uwsgi/
- (optional) Configure the proxy server, if any. You should make the server
load static files directly from the static directory. Also,
/listshould be served fromlist.json. Example for nginx:
root /path/to/server/static;
rewrite ^/list$ /list.json;
try_files $uri @uwsgi;
location @uwsgi {
uwsgi_pass ...;
}
