modmapper

Downloads mods from nexus, parses the plugins inside, and saves data to a postgres database.

Development Install

  1. Install and run postgres.
  2. Create postgres user and database (and add uuid extension while you're there ):
createuser modmapper
createdb modmapper
sudo -u postgres -i psql
postgres=# ALTER DATABASE modmapper OWNER TO modmapper;
\password modmapper

# Or, on Windows in PowerShell:

& 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin\createuser.exe' -U postgres modmapper
& 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin\createdb.exe' -U postgres modmapper
& 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin\psql.exe' -U postgres
postgres=# ALTER DATABASE modmapper OWNER TO modmapper;
\password modmapper
  1. Save password somewhere safe and then and add a .env file to the project directory with the contents:
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://modmapper:<password>@localhost/modmapper
RUST_LOG=mod_mapper=debug
  1. Install sqlx_cli with cargo install sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features postgres
  2. Run sqlx migrate --source migrations run which will run all the database migrations.
  3. Get your personal Nexus API token from your profile settings and add it to the .env file:
NEXUS_API_KEY=...
  1. Either run cargo run for development mode, or build the release binary with cargo build --release, which will get saved to target/release/.

Sync and Backup Setup

scripts/sync.sh and scripts/backup.sh both utilize rclone to transfer files that are generated on the machine running modmapper to separate servers for file storage.

For these scripts to run successfully you will need to install rclone and setup a remote for sync.sh (the "static server") and a remote for backup.sh (the "backup server"). Remotes can be created with the rclone config command. Then, make sure these variables are defined in the .env file corresponding to the remote names and buckets (or folders) within that remote you created:

  • STATIC_SERVER_REMOTE
  • STATIC_SERVER_CELLS_BUCKET
  • STATIC_SERVER_MODS_BUCKET
  • STATIC_SERVER_PLUGINS_BUCKET
  • STATIC_SERVER_FILES_BUCKET
  • BACKUP_SERVER_REMOTE
  • BACKUP_SERVER_BUCKET
