Paths
|
|
-----
|
|
Locations:
|
|
|
|
* `bin` - Compiled binaries
|
|
* `share` - Distributed read-only data
|
|
* `user` - User-created modifiable data
|
|
|
|
Where each location is on each platform:
|
|
|
|
* Windows .zip / RUN_IN_PLACE source:
|
|
* `bin` = `bin`
|
|
* `share` = `.`
|
|
* `user` = `.`
|
|
* Windows installed:
|
|
* `bin` = `C:\Program Files\Minetest\bin (Depends on the install location)`
|
|
* `share` = `C:\Program Files\Minetest (Depends on the install location)`
|
|
* `user` = `%APPDATA%\Minetest` or `%MINETEST_USER_PATH%`
|
|
* Linux installed:
|
|
* `bin` = `/usr/bin`
|
|
* `share` = `/usr/share/minetest`
|
|
* `user` = `~/.minetest` or `$MINETEST_USER_PATH`
|
|
* macOS:
|
|
* `bin` = `Contents/MacOS`
|
|
* `share` = `Contents/Resources`
|
|
* `user` = `Contents/User` or `~/Library/Application Support/minetest` or `$MINETEST_USER_PATH`
|
|
|
|
Worlds can be found as separate folders in: `user/worlds/`
|
|
|
|
Configuration file
|
|
------------------
|
|
- Default location:
|
|
`user/minetest.conf`
|
|
- This file is created by closing Minetest for the first time.
|
|
- A specific file can be specified on the command line:
|
|
`--config <path-to-file>`
|
|
- A run-in-place build will look for the configuration file in
|
|
`location_of_exe/../minetest.conf` and also `location_of_exe/../../minetest.conf`
|
|
|
|
Command-line options
|
|
--------------------
|
|
- Use `--help`
|
|
|
|
Compiling
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
- [Compiling on GNU/Linux](doc/compiling/linux.md)
|
|
- [Compiling on Windows](doc/compiling/windows.md)
|
|
- [Compiling on MacOS](doc/compiling/macos.md)

|
Docker
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
- [Developing minetestserver with Docker](doc/developing/docker.md)
|
|
|
|
We provide Minetest server Docker images using the GitLab mirror registry.
|
|
|
|
Images are built on each commit and available using the following tag scheme:
|
|
|
|
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:latest` (latest build)
|
|
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<branch/tag>` (current branch or current tag)
|
|
* `registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<commit-id>` (current commit id)
|
|
|
|
If you want to test it on a Docker server you can easily run:
|
|
|
|
sudo docker run registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<docker tag>
|
|
|
|
If you want to use it in a production environment you should use volumes bound to the Docker host
|
|
to persist data and modify the configuration:
|
|
|
|
sudo docker create -v /home/minetest/data/:/var/lib/minetest/ -v /home/minetest/conf/:/etc/minetest/ registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:master
|
|
|
|
Data will be written to `/home/minetest/data` on the host, and configuration will be read from `/home/minetest/conf/minetest.conf`.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If you don't understand the previous commands please read the official Docker documentation before use.
|
|
|
|
You can also host your Minetest server inside a Kubernetes cluster. See our example implementation in [`misc/kubernetes.yml`](misc/kubernetes.yml).

Version scheme
|
|
--------------
|
|
We use `major.minor.patch` since 5.0.0-dev. Prior to that we used `0.major.minor`.
|
|
|
|
- Major is incremented when the release contains breaking changes, all other
|
|
numbers are set to 0.
|
|
- Minor is incremented when the release contains new non-breaking features,
|
|
patch is set to 0.
|
|
- Patch is incremented when the release only contains bugfixes and very
|
|
minor/trivial features considered necessary.
|
|
|
|
Since 5.0.0-dev and 0.4.17-dev, the dev notation refers to the next release,
|
|
i.e.: 5.0.0-dev is the development version leading to 5.0.0.
|
|
Prior to that we used `previous_version-dev`.
