[Quest for slim Alti Folder] resources #21

Closed kevATin closed 4 years ago

kevATin commented 4 years ago

Altitude is pretty lightweight, the only parts taking up a lot of space are the jre and the resources folders. With jre gone; is it possible to trim down the resources one? Simply throwing it out results in alti+server throwing an error. Is it worth trying to rip out parts that don't seem necessary for the server, or am I likely to run into errors at some point?

Alternatively, do you think I could create one main altitude folder with all base files, and all server folders just contain links to the files? (at least the ones that aren't being written to) Or will there be potential problems with dozens of servers accessing them?

I would not delete anything in the resources folder. I think it is all needed under different circumstances.

I am confident that your link method would work.

Also remember, that with ALTITUDE_ROOT, you only need one copy of alti+server.

Too bad; I guess I should really start using symlinks~

biell commented 4 years ago

I think your symlink idea is a good one. You can symlink at the resources directory, so it should be easy. You need local log, maps, and servers, and I think every other directory could be a symlink and shared. Most (maybe all) of the files in the base directory can be sylinked too.
