Pathfinder Containers

A fork of techfreak's Pathfinder-container docker-compose solution for Pathfinder that is designed to work with Goryn Clade's Pathfinder fork, using Traefik as a reverse proxy to expose the docker container.

1. Installation
2. Using Traefik
3. Development

Installation

Prerequisites:

• docker
• docker-compose

Note: The Docker-compose file uses Compose v3.8, so requires Docker Engine 19.03.0+

1. Create an API-Key

   • Go the Eve Online Developer portal
   • After signing in go to "MANAGE APPLICATIONS" → "CREATE NEW APPLICATION"
   • Choose a name for your application (e.g. "Pathfinder Production")
   • Enter a Description for this installation
   • Change "CONNECTION TYPE" to "Authentication & API Access"
   • Add the following "PERMISSIONS":
     • esi-location.read_online.v1
     • esi-location.read_location.v1
     • esi-location.read_ship_type.v1
     • esi-ui.write_waypoint.v1
     • esi-ui.open_window.v1
     • esi-universe.read_structures.v1
     • esi-corporations.read_corporation_membership.v1
     • esi-clones.read_clones.v1
     • esi-characters.read_corporation_roles.v1
     • esi-search.search_structures.v1
   • Set your "CALLBACK URL" to https://[YOUR_DOMAIN]/sso/callbackAuthorization
     
     

2. Clone the repo

   git clone --recurse-submodules  https://github.com/goryn-clade/pathfinder-containers.git

3. Create a .env file (copy .env.example) and make sure every config option has an entry.

   PROJECT_ROOT=""       # The path of the cloned repo
   CONTAINER_NAME="pf"   # docker container name prefix
   DOMAIN=""             # The domain you will be using
   APP_PASSWORD=""       # Password for /setup
   MYSQL_HOST="mariadb"  # mysql host
   MYSQL_PORT="3306"     # default mysql port
   MYSQL_USER="root"     # mysql root user
   MYSQL_PASSWORD=""     # mysql Password
   CCP_SSO_CLIENT_ID=""  # Use the SSO tokens created in step 1
   CCP_SSO_SECRET_KEY=""
   CCP_ESI_SCOPES="esi-location.read_online.v1,esi-location.read_location.v1,esi-location.read_ship_type.v1,esi-ui.write_waypoint.v1,esi-ui.open_window.v1,esi-universe.read_structures.v1,esi-corporations.read_corporation_membership.v1,esi-clones.read_clones.v1,esi-characters.read_corporation_roles.v1"
   MYSQL_PF_DB_NAME="pathfinder" # mysql pathfinder table name
   MYSQL_UNIVERSE_DB_NAME="eve_universe"
   MYSQL_CCP_DB_NAME="eve_lifeblood_min"
   REDIS_HOST="redis"    # redis host
   REDIS_PORT="6379"     # default redis port
   PATHFINDER_SOCKET_HOST="pathfinder-socket" # domain of the websocket container, relative to the main pf container
   PATHFINDER_SOCKET_PORT="5555"              # default tcp socket port
   SMTP_HOST=""
   SMTP_PORT=""
   SMTP_SCHEME=""
   SMTP_USER=""
   SMTP_PASS=""
   SMTP_FROM=""
   SMTP_ERROR=""

The PROJECT_ROOT key is the absolute path to the project directory, ie if you have clone it to /app/pathfinder-containers, this is the value you should enter. If you're unsure of the absolute path, you can use the command pwd to get the full absolute path of the current directory.

1. Edit the config/pathfinder/pathfinder.ini to your liking

   Recommended options to change:

   • [PATHFINDER]
     • NAME- the tab title when viewing your Pathfinder
   • [PATHFINDER.LOGIN]
     • COOKIE_EXPIRE - expire age (in days) for login cookies. read more
     • SESSION_SHARING - Share maps between logged in characters in the same browser session. read more
     • CHARACTER - Character allow-list. Comma separated string of character ids. (empty = "no restriction")
     • CORPORATION - Corporation allow-list. Comma separated string of corporation ids. (empty = "no restriction")
     • ALLIANCE - Alliance allow-list. Comma separated string of alliance ids. (empty = "no restriction")
   • [PATHFINDER.MAP.PRIVATE], [PATHFINDER.MAP.PRIVATE], [PATHFINDER.MAP.ALLIANCE]
     • LIFETIME - expire time (in days) until a map type will be deleted (by cronjob)
       
       
       

2. Build & Run it

   docker network create web && docker-compose up -d

3. Open the http://< your-domain >/setup page.

   • Your username is pf and password is the password you set in APP_PASSWORD in the .env file.
   • Find the database section of the setup page, for both "pf" and "eve_universe" databases click the "create database" button.
   • Once the page has reloaded, click the "setup tables", and then "fix columns/keys".
     
     

4. Go back to your console and insert the eve universe dump with this command:

   docker-compose exec pfdb /bin/sh -c "unzip -p eve_universe.sql.zip | mysql -u root -p\$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD eve_universe";
   

5. When everthing works, configure Traefik correctly for production

   • Remove the staging CA server line from docker-compose.ymlfrom the command block of the traefik service definition.
   • Delete the ./letsencrypt/acme.json configuration file so Let's Encrypt will get a new certificate.
     
     
   • If you are not the root user on your host you may need to edit file permissions. Docker-engine creates the letsencrypt director as root user, which means that you would need to prefix sudo on any future docker commands (sudo docker-compose up etc). To avoid doing this you can take ownership of the letsencrypt directory by running sudo chown -R $USER ./letsencrypt.

Hint: If you need to make changes, perform your edits first, then do docker-compose down to bring down the project, and then docker-compose up --build -d to rebuild the containers and run them again.

Using Traefik

To keep things simple, the structure of this project assumes that you will use Traefik to provide access to your Pathfinder docker container and nothing else. As such, Traefik containers start and stop with the Pathfinder containers.

If you want to run other services in docker on the same host that also need to be exposed to the web, you should strongly consider splitting Traefik into a separate project with its own docker-compose file. This will allow you to take pathfinder project offline for maintenance without affecting other containers that rely on Traefik.

---

Development

Some Development configurations that have worked well for me have been saved in the development/ directory, including step debugging for VsCode using xdebug

Development configs and docker files can be quickly restored using:

chmod +x ./development/development.sh && ./development/development.sh

This creates a partial .env file, but you will need to add your CCP SSO client and keys manually, if you want to copy development files without overwriting your .env file add the flag --noenv when running the script.

It's best to create a new SSO application for development work, so that you can set the callback url to https://localhost/sso/callbackAuthorization.
