Mariadb is set to bind only to 127.0.0.1 and if netstat for example shows a second column like "listen 0.0.0.0:*" which is kind of confusing but actually represents potential remote addresses which can connect which because of bind to 127.0.0.1 means only 127.0.0.1 can connect. If you disable the firewall and try to connect from outside you will see it is not possible. Thanks for the commands, I do know about these but had not thought about them, thank you I will probably make some updates to the escipt this week based on yours and others feedback

@Tryskellhas and continues to do an awesome job with aCis. I will support aCis in any way I can, and was really happy to see aCis was still around and active as a poject and community when I jumped back into L2. I do not think L2 or Interlude is ded, it never will be. What I do think is that thinking outside the box and introducing the game to new people is important now. I would bet that the majority of those new people who try it are hooked and will continue to play for years.

I am planning on making adminer optional which would also make php and apache2 optional, I just haven't had time yet. That script I made for myself and I know that I want adminer " and also be asked about opening 3306 or XXXX and listen to * thanks " Could you explain this a bit more? I am not sure I should offer the option to open port 3306 as that is a bad thing unless you know what you are doing, and if you know what you are doing it is a simple thing to open it yourself after. Listen to * is this for login / gameserver or Mariadb?

I have not touched a L2J style server in probably 13-14 years, as part of my "re-education" on server stuff I decided to build a installation script, hope some of you find it useful. NOTE: This script should only be run on a fresh Ubuntu 22/24 install, must be ran as root. I have only tested on 22 so far. What it does: - Checks to make sure you are root and are using Ubuntu 22/24 - Creates a system user for running aCis - Installs java jdk 21, Mariadb, Apache2 + PHP, Adminer, Ant - Created user and database for gameserver and login server - Creates user for Adminer - Adds second layer of security for Adminer (apache2 auth) - Runs secure_installation on Mariadb - Makes all .sh files executeable - Fills in Mariadb database information in database_installer.sh, config/server.properties, config/loginserver.properties - Runs database_installer.sh - Fetches aCis repository and builds it (supports public and private repo) - Moves all needed files into <user>/acis-built - Enables UFW and opens needed ports: 22, 80, 2106, 7777 - Installs fail2ban and configures protection for sshd (max 3 fails) - Retrieves geodata from http://anothercrappyinterludeserver.com/files/ and unpacks it in correct place - Fills in server IP in loginserver.properties Script is here: https://github.com/Salty-Dragon/aCis-installer-ubuntu Help etc hop on Discord: https://discord.gg/QuZTw8pn3E

I haven't played L2 in many years but was recently talking to some old friends from back in the day (supreme / azure, paradise) and we thought we would try playing together again. Checked out official and it has went full on P2W and bot infested, not interested. Private servers seem to be pretty volatile and the community fragmented, we have not been able to find a server or community that has the right vibe. So us old farts decided why the hell not build our own server and see if we can pull in some of those old day vibes and magic, maybe get a good community built. Maybe that magic is gone forever, that comraderie that we shared in the old days. But I think it is likely there is a lot of players out there just like our little group from the old days that made lifelong friendships in all those 100s and 1000s of hours we spent together in the game together. I have reached out to some developer friends from back in the day and have one that has come on board, probably one of the most OG OFF devs out there, pretty stoked about that, he never stopped L2 developing for all these years, wild. I can't think of too many other games that evoke such loyalty and love of the game. So, the choice has been made, and the journey begins. We have really solid and battle tested H5 files so we will roll with those. We are not using any pack with locked down extender, we have all the flexibility we need to make changes, fixes, add features, etc. Also have a great antibot and box limiting system as well as active GMs so bots impact should be pretty min imal. Do have some features that we will be adding but I'll keep those under my hat. What do you guys think, you think there is enough of that old-school magic left out there to have a server and community of the old days?

Worth a shot

Does it come with source?
