Time Nick Message 01:09 deept so i just updated my minetest server 01:10 deept and the world reset 01:10 deept and players 01:10 deept server was running from flatpak 01:10 MTDiscord How sure are you that you're even running the same world? 01:10 MTDiscord Flatpak stores stuff in like ~/.var, so you should be able to find your files. 01:10 deept thats a question 01:11 deept lemme see if i can find out for sure 01:12 MTDiscord I usually recommend docker for servers if you want containers ... I dunno if flatpak is specifically "bad" for it but it doesn't seem to be flatpak's intended focus. In either case you do need to be aware of what you're mounting and what's ephemeral when dealing with containers. 01:13 MTDiscord Maybe the new flatpak version doesn't share the data dir with the old one? That would be dumb but I've seen dumber. 01:16 deept ya its trying to select the wrong world 01:16 deept now that it updated 01:18 deept the --world command says it implies a local game 01:18 MTDiscord Haha, happens. I had somebody tell me about a config problem they were running into for the longest time, and it turned out they just needed to explicitly pass in the full config path in the command line because where they assumed it was looking was in fact not. 01:19 MTDiscord I just always use ~/.Minetest/worlds/world. If I want to have a different world instance then I use a different MT instance entirely. 02:09 deept ya just symlinked to new location 02:09 deept thanks am tired and wasnt thinking 02:09 deept cheers 02:35 Blockhead256[m] what benefits do you see by using flatpak instead of dev-ppa or self-build on your server? 02:58 sometalgoo Just popping in here on the topic. I'm using the Snap off Ubuntu to run my local Minetest server. Is there a better way I should consider doing it? 03:01 MTDiscord Snap and flatpak feel like they're more suited for client use, but if it works and you can manage it, they're not wrong necessarily. 03:01 MTDiscord For a one off, compiling from src gets you the latest code, while something like docker is nice if you want to scale up easily. 03:02 MTDiscord Docker has the management bits, while for src compiled stuff, you'll want to setup systemd or something. 03:03 MTDiscord The important thing is reliability. If your server suddenly reboots, does everything come up as expected again? Are you able to automate backups and updates? 03:04 MTDiscord IIRC for client use I also switched from snap to flatpak because I didn't like something about how the snap was maintained (I don't remember the details, maybe they were slow to update?) 03:11 luk3yx The Minetest snap is still on 5.6.1 11:36 Oblomov is there a minetest kbin communty up yet? 11:39 Blockhead256[m] hmm had to search what kbin is, no I don't know of one 11:39 Blockhead256[m] but tchcs.de hosts a lemmy instance now which is similar 11:40 Blockhead256[m] and a few people in the community use mastodon 11:40 Blockhead256[m] sorry that's tchncs.de 11:44 Oblomov good too 8-) 11:46 Blockhead256[m] Milan, who runs tchncs, runs the Illuna Minetest server(s) 11:46 Blockhead256[m] in case you were wondering what the connection was 11:46 Oblomov hm I can't seem to find minetest on discuss.tchncs.de though 11:47 Oblomov so the lemmy instance is there but ther doesn't seem to be a community within dedicated to minetet 11:47 Oblomov Blockhead256[m]: gotcha 8-D 17:13 Elouin https://browse.feddit.de/ there you can search for communities on a lot of lemmy instances. 17:14 Elouin Id like to see a minetest lemmy too. 17:14 Elouin *lemmy community 17:31 Oblomov Elouin: looks like there's only one community, both for MC and MT 21:08 Swift110-mobile Sup folks
