Tutorial Starbound Web CP - Nightlies (LIVE DEMO / DL)

Just an idea, don't know how realisable it is:
But can't you make some kinda install.php that creates a config files with a some variables like the installation directory of starbound?

And what is your problem with the steamcmd, I was able to get the steamcmd work on a CentOS 6.4 and download the complete starbound client. My problem is starting the starbound server in x64 mode.

 

the issue is not with steamCMD, its with writing a script that launches the update script, then once steamCMD prompts for the security key (emailed to the user) it needs to enter that steamCMD console and paste the key then wait for the update to finish before allowing the user to start the server.

An install.php might happen later down the road, for now its very easy for the user to manually edit the config.php file

The issue I need help with is having the script find out what its path is so I can go one directory up from the scripts path and then include the config.sh script to grab the starbound install path and starmap path

 

I see and very nice that you're planning to build in the install.php. What did you exactly mean with referencing the apache and starbound paths in sh files?

 

FIXED!

Im a noob

 

Just wanted to say this is amazing and I've been looking for something like it and it exceeds my expectations. I've got it running, but when I click Start Server, or anything really, nothing happens. It says "Starting Server", but the server never starts, and nothing shows up in the console. What dependencies are needed to run this with full functionality, and has anyone encountered this before?

 

Thank you! Did you make sure to add the sudoers.d file (starmap) to the /etc/sudoers.d folder? Also what OS are you running?

 

Was running Ubuntu 12.04 64, but rebuilt to 13.04 64. The starmap file was in sudoers.d, but do I have to change the permissions on it at all?

 

Change where it says apache to www-data for ubuntu

and make sure the files in config reflect on your install location for starbound and starmap

 

Like...?

Code:

Defaults:www-data !requiretty
www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/screen
www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/killall
www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/tail
www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/zip

My starbound directory is /home/starbound/linux64, config file:

Code:

<?php
    //Path to your starbound installation's linux folder (32 or 64 depending on your OS)
    $install_path = "/home/starbound/linux64";
    //This will be one folder up from your linux folder
    $assets_path = "/home/starbound/assets";
    //Enter the path to where your hosting your starmap folder
    $starmap_path = "/var/www/html/starmap";
?>

If I start the server manually, Starmap detects it and displays the chat and console. It doesn't let me do anything else though.

...Would it matter if I disabled password login to substitute it with an SSH private key?

Also: I have a suggestion for a feature. Maybe make a section where you can upload ./ manage zips to the /starbound/mods folder. Then server mods could also be done entirely on starmap.

 

that may help but what would really let me know is if you go to the functions directory, next replace the code in restart.php to this

Code:

        <?php
            // $_GET["cmd"]
            include('../config/config.php');
            $command = "sh ${starmap_path}/shell_scripts/restart_starbound.sh 2>&1";
            $commandres = shell_exec($command);
            echo "$commandres";
        ?>

then go to http://yourIP/starmap/functions/restart.php

paste what it says there

 

Code:

screen: no process found /var/www/html/starmap/shell_scripts/restart_starbound.sh: 2: /var/www/html/starmap/shell_scripts/restart_starbound.sh: source: not found

 

Hmm I'll have to have a look at this issue with ubuntu, it seems like one of the bash dependancies is missing

Off the top of my head you need

screen
zip
grep
awk

but if you feel comfortable with giving me temporary access I can add you on skype and work with you to fix the bugs -- It would be very useful. If not I will spin up a ubuntu vm tomorrow and debug.

 

I can't skype right this second, but I'll be home soon then I can. I was reading on Stack Overflow that it'll work to call /bin/bash explicitly (/bin/bash -c source blahblahblah), so I'm in the process of giving that a whirl.

 

Alright, I will not be available until tomorrow sometime -- Let me know how the fix goes

 

Hey, THanks for putting this mod together. Any tips for installing on a CentOS box? Currently I'm running the starbound server on Root which has no var/www directory and I'd like to have the panel running on the domain I host on the same box. How might I set this up? I followed the setup as much as I could but had internal server errors

 

Hello, Please see the tutorial video on the first page, if starbound is located under the root directory of your box you'd just put in the path to the linux64 or linux32 folder; probably something like /server/linux64

also the /var/www/html is where you would place the starmap folder. If you dont have that folder do 'yum install httpd php -y'

enjoy!

 

Added functionality to update and reset universe. Enjoy!

 

I had a bit of a time with getting the sudoers file setup on my system (Debian) and just wanted to make note of it here. The problem was with !requiretty as sudo was completely ignoring it and giving me an error that tty wasn't available. I ended up aliasing the apache user and completely removing the defaults:user !requiretty line from the sudoers file and it ended up working. Something to note, it's probably a good idea to create a new user with permission to only those needed scripts defined in the sudoers file and granting the webserver(apache, or www-data; whatever yours may be) to sudo that user instead of (root) or (all).

 

Sweet, thanks for the tips Circuit

 

Hoi, have setup it with no problem, but the dont like to configs path. i droped you a pm.

have now installed it on 2 systems ewary time prob taht he dont know wher the donfig is and mean its still /home/starbound.
