## ✨ Features
* **Automated Map Generation:** Leverages `minetestmapper` to create high-resolution PNG maps of your game worlds.
* **Performant Image Processing:** Uses `vips`, a high-performance and memory-efficient library, to scale even huge maps (tested up to 64k x 64k pixels) for the web.
* **Tiled Map Generation:** Uses `gdal2tiles.py` to create performant, zoomable map tiles for a smooth user experience.
* **Dynamic Map Viewer:** Implements an interactive map viewer using [Leaflet.js](https://leafletjs.com/), powered by the generated map tiles.
* **Live Player Tracking:** Dynamically fetches and displays player locations as markers on the live map.
* **Map Archive:** Automatically saves a daily snapshot of the map and makes it available through a dropdown viewer on the world detail page.
* **Dynamic Map Viewer:** Implements an interactive map viewer using **OpenLayers**, powered by the generated map tiles, including digital zoom beyond the highest resolution.
* **Live Player Tracking:** Dynamically fetches and displays player locations as markers on the live map, including custom-styled popups and permanent name labels.
* **Map Archive:** Automatically saves a daily snapshot of the map and makes it available through a toggle on the world detail page.
* **Template-Driven Site Generation:** Builds all static HTML pages from simple, customizable templates.
* **Flexible Configuration:** Configuration is easy with a central global config and a sub-config file for every of your worlds.
* **Automation-Ready:** Designed for unattended execution via scheduling tools like cron.
* **Flexible Configuration:** Configuration is easy with a central global config and a `web.conf`-file for every of your worlds.
* **Automation-Ready:** Designed for unattended execution via scheduling tools like `cron`.
## 🔧 Prerequisites
To run this system, the following software packages must be installed on your server:
* **bash:** The scripting language used for the entire project.
* **ImageMagick:** Required for `identify` (to read image dimensions) and `convert` (to resize images).
* **vips:** A high-performance image processing library that replaces `convert` (ImageMagick).
* *Debian/Ubuntu Install:* `sudo apt-get install libvips-tools`
* **ImageMagick:** Currently still required for the `identify` command (to read image dimensions).
* *Debian/Ubuntu Install:* `sudo apt-get install imagemagick`
* **GDAL/OGR:** Provides the `gdal2tiles.py` script for tile generation.
* *Debian/Ubuntu Install:* `sudo apt-get install gdal-bin python3-gdal`
* **minetestmapper:** The executable used to render maps from world data. This must be placed within the project directory.
* **SQLite3:** The command-line tool for reading SQLite databases, required by `sync_players.sh`.
* *Debian/Ubuntu Install:* `sudo apt-get install sqlite3`
* **bc:** The "basic calculator" command-line tool, required for calculations in `sync_players.sh`.
* *Debian/Ubuntu Install:* `sudo apt-get install bc`
* **minetestmapper:** The executable used to render maps from world data. Must be placed within the project directory.
* **iproute2:** Provides the `ss` command for `check_server_status.sh` (usually pre-installed on most systems).
* **Web Server:** A web server like Nginx or Apache is needed to serve the generated static files.
An included script (`check_dependencies.sh`) can automatically verify all important dependencies.
## ⚙️ Installation & Setup
### 1. Clone the Repository
### 1. Project Files
Download the **latest build** from the [Releases-Page](https://git.geigernet.eu/rainer/luanti-web/releases) and save it to your server's base directory, such as `/opt/luweb/`.
Download the **latest build** from the [Releases-Page](https://git.geigernet.eu/rainer/luanti-web/releases) and extract it to a base directory on your server, such as `/opt/luweb/`.
OR
Clone all project files to a base directory on your server.
Clone the Git repository to a base directory.
```
```bash
git clone https://git.geigernet.eu/rainer/luanti-web.git /opt/luweb
cd /opt/luweb
chmod +x generate_map.sh generate_site.sh
# Make all scripts executable
chmod +x generate_map.sh generate_site.sh check_server_status.sh check_dependencies.sh sync_players.sh
```
### 2. Global Configuration
@ -50,53 +61,47 @@ The main configuration file is `config.sh`. You must edit this file to match you
**Key variables in `config.sh`:**
* `BASE_SCRIPT_DIR`: The root directory of the project (e.g., `/opt/luweb`).
* `MINETESTMAPPER_WORLD_DATA_BASE_PATH`: The path to your Minetest/Luanti worlds' data directory (e.g., `<server-path>/worlds/`), docker compatible.
* `MINETESTMAPPER_WORLD_DATA_BASE_PATH`: The path to your Minetest/Luanti worlds' data directory.
* `WEB_ROOT_PATH`: The document root of your website where the generated files will be placed (e.g., `/var/www/your-domain.com/web`).
* `LOG_DIR_BASE`: The directory where log files will be written (e.g., `/var/log/luweb`).
### 3. Per-World Configuration
For each world you want to feature on the website, a `web.conf` file must exist within that world's data directory (e.g., `<server-path>/worlds/my_world/web.conf`). This file allows you to override global defaults with world-specific settings.
The system is designed so that **only worlds with a `web.conf` file** will be displayed in the web frontend. This gives you full control over which worlds are publicly visible.
A minimal `web.conf` could look like this and is automatically created for every detected world in your `MINETESTMAPPER_WORLD_DATA_BASE_PATH`:
```bash
# Display name for the world
WORLD_DISPLAY_NAME="My Creative World"
# Server connection details
SERVER_ADDRESS="your-server.com"
SERVER_PORT="30001"
# A short description for the world overview page
WORLD_SHORT_DESCRIPTION="A brief, catchy description of this world."
# A detailed HTML description for the world's detail page
WORLD_LONG_DESCRIPTION="<p>A longer description with <b>HTML</b> support.</p>"
```
To add a world, copy the template `site_generator/examples/web.conf.template` into the data directory of the respective world (e.g., `<server-path>/worlds/my_world/web.conf`) and adjust the values.

## 🚀 Usage
The scripts are designed to be run from the command line, either manually or via automated jobs.
### 1. Map and Tile Generation
The `generate_map.sh` script creates the map, tiles, and archive images for a specific world. It must be called with the "world key" (the name of the world's directory) as an argument.
### 1. Map Generation
```bash
# Generate map assets for the world located in the 'world' directory
./generate_map.sh world
./generate_map.sh <world_key>
```
### 2. Website Generation
The `generate_site.sh` script builds the entire website (overview, detail pages, etc.). It scans all configured world directories and creates a detail page for each one.
```bash
# Generate the complete website
./generate_site.sh
```
### 3. Automation (Cronjob)
### 3. Status & Player Sync
```bash
./check_server_status.sh
./sync_players.sh <world_key>
```
For fully automatic operation, setting up cronjobs is recommended.
### 4. Automation (Cronjob)
**Example for `crontab -e`:**
```bash
# Generate map assets for the 'world' every 30 minutes
*/30 * * * * /opt/luweb/generate_map.sh world >> /var/log/luweb/cron.log 2>&1
# Update player data every minute
* * * * * /opt/luweb/sync_players.sh world >> /var/log/luweb/cron.log 2>&1
# Re-build the website every 12 hours
* */12 * * * /opt/luweb/generate_site.sh >> /var/log/luweb/cron.log 2>&1
# Check server online status every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * * /opt/luweb/check_server_status.sh >> /var/log/luweb/cron.log 2>&1
# Generate map and tiles once per hour
0 * * * * /opt/luweb/generate_map.sh world >> /var/log/luweb/cron.log 2>&1
# Re-build the static site twice a day
30 */12 * * * /opt/luweb/generate_site.sh >> /var/log/luweb/cron.log 2>&1
