The LTS releases for v12 and v14 are already end of life and the v16 is
end of life in under two months from now on. Bump supported version up
to v18 as it does not make sense to continue to support EOL releases.
Even if we wanted to keep supporting them, our dependencies will not.
Note that Node.js v18 is currently not avaliable via the NodeSource PPA
on Ubuntu 19.10 and below or Debian 9 and below.
The role of a slave as a host for Factorio servers is not well reflected
in its name and has caused confusion among users. Rename slave to host
to better reflect its role as a host of Factorio servers.
The role of the master server as the party controlling every part of the
cluster is not well reflected in its name and has caused confusion among
users on several occasions. Rename master to controller to better
reflects its role.
Wipe and reconstruct the instances' mods/ folder using the configured
ModPack for the case were the mods folder is shared with the master
server. This assumes the master server will check the mod checksums
before sending the start request.
The prepare script runs before publishing a package, after installation
of a package from source, and when running npm install without
arguments in the repository. These are the times where a build of the
web interface files are required to make the web interface work and
removes a manual step from using the package(s). The "build" script on
the other hand is never automatically invoked by npm.
Save disk space, time and sanity by replacing npm and lerna with pnpm.
This is more performant and doesn't have developer experience ruining
bugs like npm link removing all previous links before creating the
requested one.
Based on docker and github actions
Builds a docker image for each commit as well as the lua lib mod
Builds the master branch of subspace_storage for use with the tests
Tests are based on latest stable factorio branch
Rework client.js to support running multiple instances at once and be
managed remotely and implement the neccessary communication
infrastructure for this.
Due to circular dependencies on the implementation of this the master
branch is significantly broken after this.
Remove the .js suffix from help texts of node invocations as well as
actual invocations as this is not necessary. Removing it opens up the
possibility of restructuring the code into a directory with the same
name.
Update instructions, Dockerfile and Travis CI to use Node.js 10.
Specify that Node.js version 10 or greater is needed in the engines
section of package.json (note that this is only advisory.) And document
this as a breaking change in CHANGELOG.md.
Add --only=production flag to Dockerfile and the README entries
describing how to install nodes. This will avoid pulling in a lot of
dependencies that are not needed for running master/slaves.
