Running LegacyWorlds Beta 5 in 2025
|
|||
|
|
===================================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This repo contains an attempt at running
|
|||
|
|
[LWB5](https://git.nocternity.net/tseeker/lwb5) on a modern system. It is
|
|||
|
|
based on Docker Compose, using three containers:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* a PostgreSQL 17 container for the database,
|
|||
|
|
* a container for the game and its administration interface,
|
|||
|
|
* a final container that runs the planet picture generator.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The open proxy scanner as well as the IRC bot were removed as they do not
|
|||
|
|
really make sense on the modern internet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is very likely to be broken in some areas because the code is outdated and,
|
|||
|
|
while I fixed the most obvious problems, outdated syntax is likely to be hiding
|
|||
|
|
in a few other places.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Running the game
|
|||
|
|
----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In order to run LWB5, you have to:
|
|||
|
|
- copy `docker/env.example` to `docker/.env` and edit the resulting file,
|
|||
|
|
- start the application by running `docker compose up -d` inside the `docker/`
|
|||
|
|
directory,
|
|||
|
|
- access the administration interface, which will be exposed on port 81,
|
|||
|
|
- go to the `Ticks` page in the `Server management` section,
|
|||
|
|
- select the `universe` tick for the `beta5` game and run it,
|
|||
|
|
- now access the game itself on port 80 and log on using the administrative
|
|||
|
|
account configured in the `.env` file,
|
|||
|
|
- go to `My account` and join the `Public Beta 5` game,
|
|||
|
|
- go to the game's `Admin` page,
|
|||
|
|
- click the `Manual update` link and wait.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Running the `universe` tick will start the planet picture generator. However, it
|
|||
|
|
will take a while to run, so you'll see missing planet pictures until it's done
|
|||
|
|
running.
