Luanti 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:
yum install nodejs

Then install doT.js and its dependencies:

npm install dot "commander@11.1.0" mkdirp

And finally compile the template:

cd static
../node_modules/dot/bin/dot-packer -s .

You can now serve the webpage by copying the files in static/ to your web root, or by starting the server list.

Embedding the server list in a page

<head>
    ...
    <script>
        var master = {
            root: 'https://servers.luanti.org/',
            limit: 10,
            clients_min: 1,
            no_flags: true,
            no_ping: true,
            no_uptime: true
        };
    </script>
    ...
</head>
<body>
    ...
    <div id="server_list"></div>
    ...
    <script defer src="https://servers.luanti.org/list.js"></script>
</body>

Setting up the server

  1. Install Python 3 and pip:
apt-get install python3 python3-pip
# OR:
yum install python3 python3-pip
  1. Install required Python packages:

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt

  2. If using in production, install uwsgi and its python plugin:

apt-get install uwsgi-plugin-python3
# OR:
yum install uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python3
  1. Configure the server by adding options to config.py. See config-example.py for defaults.

  2. Start the server:

./server.py
# Or for production:
uwsgi -s /run/serverlist.sock --plugins python3 -w server:app -T --threads 2
# then configure according to https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/deploying/uwsgi/
  1. (optional) Configure the proxy server, if any. You should make the server load static files directly from the static directory. Also, /list should be served from list.json. Example for nginx:
root /path/to/server/static;

rewrite ^/$ /index.html break;
rewrite ^/list$ /list.json break;

location = /list.json { expires 20s; }

try_files $uri @uwsgi;
location @uwsgi {
    include uwsgi_params;
    uwsgi_pass unix:/run/serverlist.sock;
}

Setting up the server (Apache version)

If you wish to use Apache to host the server list, do steps 1-2, 4, above. Additionally install/enable mod_wsgi and an Apache site config like the following:

# This config assumes you have the server list at DocumentRoot.
# Visitors to the server list in this config would visit http://local.server/ and
# apache would serve up the output from server.py.

# Where are the serverlist files located?
DocumentRoot /var/games/luanti/serverlist

# Serve up server.py at the root of the URL.
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/games/luanti/serverlist/server.py

# The name of the function that we call when we invoke server.py
WSGICallableObject app

# These options are necessary to enable Daemon mode. Without this, you'll have strange behavior
# with servers dropping off your list! You can tweak threads as needed. See mod_wsgi documentation.
WSGIProcessGroup luanti-serverlist
WSGIDaemonProcess luanti-serverlist threads=2
