separate path for json files #1541

Closed timriker closed 5 years ago

timriker commented 10 years ago

Mike, as we discussed on irc:

When not using stand alone, json files are in the same directory as the php files. It would be nice to have the json files written in dynmap/web/json/ instead of dynmap/web/standalone/ by both the dynmap plugin and the webchat server side. This would allow linking that directory to a ram drive on platforms that support it.

I'd have an init script or run-on-reboot cronjob do this as root:

# mkdir /run/dynmap
# chown www-data:www-data /run/dynmap

then link dynmap/web/json to /run/dynmap or change a configuration.txt value to point there which both the plugin and the web interface would need to adjust. The symlink version avoids running a php script and can be just static files as the path is still there.

now all json writes for player postition, webchat, etc are just hitting /run which is tmpfs and stays in memory. True even for non-login setups.

Feature for advanced users to be sure, but should be relatively easy to implement.

This is closed, but was it accepted and implemented, or rejected?

Hover over the "Listed Feature" label.

It will be listed in a separate issue. So we have a consolidation of features and not everything spread over 700 open issues.
