MapBBCodeShare is a tool that allows users to share maps created with MapBBCode on a web server or localhost. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing MapBBCodeShare on your Fedora Server Latest.
To begin, open your terminal and clone the MapBBCodeShare repository by typing the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MapBBCode/share.mapbbcode.org.git
Once you have cloned the repository, change your current directory to the cloned repository using:
cd share.mapbbcode.org
Now, you will install the project dependencies via npm. Type the following command in your terminal:
npm install
By default, MapBBCodeShare will listen on port 8080 and bind to the 127.0.0.1 address. You can modify the default port by setting the MAPBB_PORT environment variable. To do so, execute:
export MAPBB_PORT=<port_number>
Replace <port_number> with the desired port number. If you want to allow connections from other machines, you can set the MAPBB_ADDRESS environment variable to 0.0.0.0 by executing:
export MAPBB_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0
After configuring the necessary settings, start the MapBBCodeShare server by typing the following command:
npm start
You should now see a message in your console indicating that the server is running:
info: MapBBCode Share started on http(s)://127.0.0.1:8080/
Open a web browser and enter the server address: <ip_address>:<port_number>. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.0.2 and the port number is 8080, type 192.168.0.2:8080 in your web browser's address bar. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the MapBBCodeShare website.
In this tutorial, we have covered the step-by-step guide on how to install MapBBCodeShare on Fedora Server Latest. You can now seamlessly create and share maps using MapBBCode on your machine.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
