Node.JS MineOS

======



MineOS is a server front-end to ease managing Minecraft administrative tasks.

This iteration using Node.js aims to enhance previous MineOS scripts (Python-based),

by leveraging the event-triggering, asyncronous model of Node.JS and websockets.



This allows the front-end to provide system health, disk and memory usage, and logging in real-time.



This has been tested on Debian, Ubuntu, ArchLinux, and FreeBSD and should work on all variants, Linux or BSD.



Installation

------------



MineOS is distributed through github and downloads its dependencies with npm.



MineOS requires root-privileges, as the authentication relies on the underlying system's /etc/shadow.



Do not install this atop an existing MineOS system (using the Python-based webui), since the installation location is the same /usr/games/minecraft. Following are steps for installing MineOS on an apt-get based distribution, such as Debian or Ubuntu.  These instructions are detailed further (as well as for additional distributions) on the [MineOS wiki](https://minecraft.codeemo.com/mineoswiki/index.php?title=Installing_MineOS).



Using an apt-get based Linux distribution:



    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash -

    apt-get update

    apt-get install -y nodejs git rdiff-backup screen build-essential openjdk-8-jre-headless

    mkdir -p /usr/games

    cd /usr/games

    git clone https://github.com/hexparrot/mineos-node.git minecraft

    cd minecraft

    chmod +x generate-sslcert.sh

    ./generate-sslcert.sh

    cp mineos.conf /etc/mineos.conf

    npm install

    

For hosts using 'upstart':



    cp /usr/games/minecraft/init/upstart_conf /etc/init/mineos.conf

    start mineos



For hosts using 'supervisor':



    cp /usr/games/minecraft/init/supervisor_conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mineos.conf

    supervisorctl reread

    supervisorctl update

    supervisorctl start mineos



For hosts using 'systemd':



    cp /usr/games/minecraft/init/systemd_conf /etc/systemd/system/mineos.service

    systemctl enable mineos

    systemctl start mineos



To use the webui as a background daemon:



    node service.js [start|stop|restart|status]



To start the webui in the foreground:



    node webui.js



Things to watch out for

------



On FreeBSD, you will need to mount a Linux-compatible /proc filesystem, i.e., linprocfs,

at /usr/compat/linux/proc in order for the web-ui to work. In addition, where CLANG is

default for your system, you'll need to build the NPM modules differently:



    echo "CXX=c++ npm install" | sh



Mineos-node requires rsync 3.1.x or later, 3.0.x does not have the ability to chown

on copy, which is essential for profiles. Depending on your distribution, you may need

to build it from source.



Developing and Contributing

------



I'd love to get contributions from you! Whether you are most comfortable writing

HTML, CSS, or Javascript (either Nodejs or Angular), feel free to reach out to me about

some of my design goals and we'll see where your efforts can best be used.



License

-------



See [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md) file.



Support

-------



Create an issue in github or start a post on the [MineOS support forums](http://discourse.codeemo.com).



CURRENTLY WORKING

-------



The Angular.JS-based web user interface capable of:



* creating and deleting servers, 

* starting, restarting, killing and stopping servers 

* backup, archive, wait-for-stop-and-backup

* reading ingame console in real-time and submitting commands

* create cronjobs for the most common tasks

* adding and modifying server.properties

* delete previous archives and restore poitns to free up space

* restore server from previous restore point

* see filesystem usage of live server files, archives, and restore points

* authentication via shadow passwords (/etc/shadow) of underlying Linux system

* logs all user actions to file

* cronjobs saved to portable format cron.config

* server can be daemonized to background

* upstart/supervisord restart process on unhandled exceptions

* easy selection of server packs from FTB or Mojang official jars

* PHAR support for Pocketmine servers

* Support for BungeeCord servers

* command-line interface for scripting



TODO

-------



* macro often-repeated tasks from web-ui

* more fully document functions



EVENTUALLY

-------



* implement previous_versions: functionality to roll back or view particular files' previous state

* identify java versions in web-ui, allow choice of utilized jvm
