Needed Software
Starry is written in Go(lang) which is availible in most Linux distributions. Use your package manager to install it.

Links to downloads are provided here for Windows, Mac OSX and other Linux distributions:

http://golang.org/doc/install

Use
Modify starbound.config in your linux64(/32) folder and change gamePort to be 21024, or whatever port you would like. You should then modify your firewall to block this port. Alternatively, if you're selectively port-forwarding ports, don't port forward 21024.

On Linux you can do this by running:

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 21024 -j DROP

Modify starry.config to your prefered values.

ServerPath: You should modify "gamePort" in the starbound.config file in the ServerPath folder to be 21024.h to the starbound_server executable.
LogFile: This is the path to the log file location. If you leave this blank it will append ".log" to the ServerPath.
ServerAddress: Address that the Starbound server can be connected to at.
ProxyAddress: The address that Starry binds to. This should probably be left as is.
Password: A password for remote admin access. Not used ATM. Will be used for the web interface.
MOT A message to display to users upon connection. Leave blank to disable.
Admins: A list of admins. Can be added to using 'addadmin' and 'deladmin'.
Bans: Leave this as is unless you know what you are doing. This is used by Starry to save the bans.

To launch it:

go run starry.go

What have you tested this under? What OS and Build?
Looks like linux so far but... thats from what i've noticed in your post

 

I've only tested it on Arch Linux, but it should work on everything since it's written in Go which is cross platform and uses no platform specific code.

 

I got this when trying to start starry I'm guessing I've done something wrong?

Code:

root@vps:/home/steam/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux64/Starry# go run starry.go
# _/home/steam/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux64/Starry/util
util/util.go:17: undefined: bufio.NewScanner

 

You're using an outdated version of go.

Go to http://golang.org/doc/install and follow the instructions for Linux.

 

Is it a client or server problem when a player cannot see a MOTD nor does the player show up as connected to the console

 

I am so confused right now @_@
So I got Go in Windows (7) and I can't run go.exe. It pops up for a second and then disappears. The same thing happens when I run starry.go.

 

I would try updating your version of Starry. I haven't encountered that error, but I just did a bunch of updates and I may have accidentally fixed it.

I haven't tested it in Windows yet but try double clicking on "starry.bat" which I just added to GitHub. If that doesn't work, try opening up Command Prompt (<Windows Key + R> then type cmd) and navigate to the folder you downloaded starry in and type "go run starry.go".

 

I'm able to work it with the .bat file. The next problem I have is actually being able to connect to the server. Is Starry.go/bat the server on its own? Or perhaps I've done goof with the configs http://prntscr.com/2dsls9

 

Starry runs the server within itself. "ServerAddress" should be "localhost:21024". Did you change the "gamePort" in starbound.config?

Also, it takes a bit for starbound_server to start accepting connections. Check if you see the line "Server listening for connections." in the CLI.

Another potential problem is when you're running the server on the same machine as client you have to connect to "127.0.0.1:21025". "localhost" hasn't worked for me and the when you change "gamePort" in the config file it also changes the default port it connects to. If you omit "21025" it connects to "21024" and bypasses Starry.

 

Okay question... How do i get it running on windows, do i modify the config file or the actual starry.go and change all of the files?

Ex:

Thats for starry config... i feel i did this correctly if not please correct where i did it wrong.


My starbound.config gameport: 21025 where i figure your 21024 is a redirect so that anyone who attempts to connect is blocked (TCP redirection for bans?)

So in starry.go do i also configure /home/rice/.starbound/linux64/starbound_server to be my windows location of where starbound_server.exe is? In this case at F:\Installed\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starbound\win32\starbound_server.exe ?? Same with the starry.config or no?

Also... for where starry-master folder is suppose to be extracted to.. thats to win32 right? Since im using the windows build, not a linux build? I can of course load it to my linux server but... im more a fan of windows.

 

OS: Windows 2003 R2

Everything works so far for me, but there is on big problem. I set my Name and UUID in the config, but iam not Admin. Checked the UUID many time.

Here is 1 Error i get on Start



Could that be the Problem?

Good Project, keep up the good work

 

Nice utility CLI. Thank u!

I got that error as well, and yes I did update to the latest go (1.2).

How do I use this if I use clanforge to run a server?

 

What os you trying to run it on? i Was trying it out on windows. and then maybe linux since its initially for linux

 

Ubuntu 12.04. The reason that happened was because I was an idiot and typed the path wrong.

Now my only issue is getting it to auto-start with Supervisor. It runs great thus far~

 

For OP:

Anybody can type /clients and gather IP information... My players are not a fan of this security... Is there any way to change that to allow it only for admins?

Also they can run any command that does not require the password.

 

With the latest update it seems that doesn't show that information anymore, however when anybody disconnects it displays that they left twice. Kind of annoying, but workable.

OP, if you have a Skype I'd love to help you troubleshoot and report bugs.
