Araknemu

A simple and modular open source Dofus 1.29 server emulator, implementing only base features.

Getting started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

First, you need to get the code from the repository.

Clone the repository (if you haven't already)

git clone https://github.com/Arakne/Araknemu.git

Go to the project directory, and make updates if needed
```
cd Araknemu
git pull
```

Docker

You can use the provided Dockerfile to build and run the server in a container. This image is a multi-stage build, with the first stage building the server, and the second stage running it.

Build the image:

docker build --target production -t araknemu .

Then you should create your database. The database structure can be created using:

mysql -u <user> -p <database_name> < resources/db/000-init_mysql.sql

Now you can run the server (environment variables are listed below):

docker run -p 5555:5555 -p 4444:4444 -e GAME_HOST=172.17.0.1 -e DB_HOST=172.17.0.1 -e DB_PASSWORD=araknemu -v './logs:/srv/logs' araknemu

Environment variables:

Variable	Description	Default value
`AUTH_PORT`	The port used by the login server. This port should be exposed using `-p` option.	`4444`
`CLIENT_VERSION`	The required client version.	`1.29.1`
`PASSWORD_HASH`	List of available password hash algorithms, separated by a coma. The first of the list will be used for re-hash the password, so make sure to define the best algorithm at first position. Available values : `argon2`, `plain`.	`argon2, plain`
`DB_TYPE`	Database driver to use. Available types : `mysql`, `sqlite`.	`mysql`
`DB_HOST`	Database host name (only mysql). You can set a custom port by suffixing it by `:[port]`. If you want to use your locale database, you can set it to `172.17.0.1`.	`127.0.0.1`
`DB_USER`	Database username (only mysql).	`araknemu`
`DB_PASSWORD`	Database password (only mysql).	empty
`DB_NAME`	Database name in case of mysql, of the file path in case of sqlite. Don't forget to declare a volume if you use sqlite driver (e.g. `-v araknemu.db:/srv/araknemu.db`).	mysql: `araknemu` sqlite: `araknemu.db`
`DB_POOL_SIZE`	Number of opened connections. Increase this value if the message "Pool is empty" occurs too often on logs.	`8`
`GAME_PORT`	The port used by the game server. This port should be exposed using `-p` option.	`5555`
`GAME_HOST`	The public host name of the game server. This host must be accessible from internet if you want to open your server to users.	`127.0.0.1`
`TIMEZONE`	Timezone used for in game clock and database times. See: https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/12211/wcs/tag-ref/MISC/TimeZones.html	`Europe/Paris`
`GAME_SERVER_ID`	The server id to launch. The server must be present in langs, and should be available for the target community. Data are not shared between 2 servers, so if you change the server ID, data will not be present.	`1` (Jiva)
`ACTIVITY_THREADS`	Number of threads to launch for run "activities" (e.g. moving monsters, respawn...). Increase this value only if the respawn is to slow.	`1`
`RESPAWN_SPEED_FACTOR`	Divide the respawn time of monster groups defined in database. For example, if the monster group is defined to respawn after 1 minute, with a factor of 2, it will respawn after 30 seconds.	`1`
`FIGHT_THREADS`	Number of threads used to execute fight actions and AI. The minimal value should be 2. A good value may be around 1 thread per 100 active fights.	`4`
`RATE_XP`	The experience gain multiplier. The value should be a positive decimal number.	`1.0`
`RATE_DROP`	The object drop multiplier. The value should be a positive decimal number. This value will modify the object drop chance, but not the maximum dropped items per monster nor minimal discernment requirement.	`1.0`
`AI_SCRIPT_PATH`	The path where AI scripts are stored. This path must be relative to the docker image. If you want to define custom scripts, don't forget to declare a volume (e.g. `-v ./scripts:/srv/scripts`). If the path doesn't exists yet, it will be ignored.	`scripts/ai`
`PRELOAD`	Enable data preloading or not. Values `1`, `true`, `yes`, `on` will enable preloading. Any other values will disable it. Disable preloading allows faster startup, and lower memory usage, but adds some performance penalty. It's advisable to enable it on production with long uptime, and disable it if the server is restarted regularly.	`true`
`ADMIN_COMMAND_SCRIPT_PATH`	Base path for admin command scripts. The following sub-directories should be used to declare commands on the respective scope : `account`, `player`, `debug`, `server`. Don't forget to declare a volume (e.g. `-v ./scripts:/srv/scripts`). If the path doesn't exists yet, it will be ignored.	`scripts/commands`
`JAVA_MEMORY`	Define the heap memory used by java (same amount is used for start and max memory). If you set to empty value, the memory will be allocated dynamically. This value is a number followed by a letter to define the unit (i.e. `M` for megabyte, `G` for gigabyte). High value will reduce the GC usage and improve performance, but GC pause time can be higher. Note: this is the heap size, not the actual allocated memory by java. The actual memory will be around 1.5 to 2 times the value of the heap size (for example, `512m` will takes around 800 MB of memory).	`512m`
`JAVA_GC`	Use a custom garbage collector algorithm. Available values (not exhaustive) `G1GC`, `ZGC`. `G1GC` seems to works well, even with low heap size (most of the pause time is less than 10ms), but non-predictable pause time may cause random lags. `ZGC` will minimize pause time (most are less than 1ms), but use more memory, and quickly trigger out of memory with low heap size.	`G1GC`
`JAVA_GC_LOG`	If set to `1`, will enable GC logs into `/srv/logs/gc-*.log`. Don't forget to declare a volume on logs (e.g. `-v ./logs:/srv/logs`).	none (disabled)
`JAVA_OPTS`	Custom java options.	none

Advanced configuration:

If provided environment variables are not enough, you can create a custom config.ini file, and mount it into the container. The file should be placed in the /srv/config.ini path.

Copy the default configuration file
```
cp config.ini.dist config.ini
```
Edit the configuration file

Run the container with the volume option

docker run -v './config.ini:/srv/config.ini' [...] araknemu

Docker-compose

You can use the provided docker-compose.yml file to run the server in a container.

Create a .env file with desired configuration (See Docker section for environment variables)

# Use the mariadb server from the db service
DB_HOST=db

# You can define any other environment variables here
GAME_HOST=myserver.example.com
JAVA_MEMORY=1G

Configure the docker-compose.yml file if needed (e.g. change the ports, add volumes, etc.)
Build the server
```
docker-compose build
```
Setup the database by copying the SQL file containing the dataset into resources/db/. The database structure is already created by the file 000-init_mysql.sql.
Run the server (can take some time to start the first time because of the database setup)
```
docker-compose up
```

Questions & answers

Where is the database ?

This project only provides the server source code. You should create your own database in order to launch the server. You can find the database structure in the file resources/db/000-init_mysql.sql.

To create your own database, you must either convert an existing database, or extract data from dofus lang files and maps.

[!NOTE] In the future, a command may be created to partially generate the database.

Why this project ? There is a lot of other dofus emulators...

Most other servers are designed to be feature-rich, and provide an opinionated version of the Dofus experience. Instead of that, this project is designed to be modular, and provide a reliable base for developers to build their own experience.

The reliability of the server is based on automated tests (CI), continuous stability tests, and mostly following semantic versioning.

The key goals of this project are (at least):

Modularity and extensibility for developers to build their own experience
At least 1 month of uptime without any instabilities
No detectable memory leaks
Handle at least 1000 players connected at the same time with less than 1GB of memory and without noticeable lags
