Tutorial: How to Install MapBBCodeShare on Fedora Server Latest

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.

Prerequisites

  • Access to the terminal on your Fedora Server Latest
  • A web server or localhost installed and running
  • Node.js and npm installed on your system

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Clone the MapBBCodeShare repository

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

Step 2: Install Dependencies

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

Step 3: Configure the Port and Address

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

Step 4: Start MapBBCodeShare

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/

Step 5: Verify Installation

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.
