We finally have working auto registration server at dchublist.org.
This is its first beta stage and it has some minor flaws, but it works.
Here are some basics on how to get your dc hub registered all automatically here.
Lets start from the easiest one.
1. PTOKAX
Open PtokaX General settings and delete all!!! old and not functional regserver addresses from field "hublist register addresses". Once done type in dchublist.org:2501 in "hublist register addresses" field. Make sure that "automaticcally register to hublist" is checked.That's it! You are done!!!
If you want to add more than one address there just add them after semicolon ";" no spaces!! like so: dchublist.org:2501;someotherserver.com:2501
I belive teamelite hublist also has working regserver - do not quote me on that.
When you done just click on accept or save.
2.YnHub.
Easy way: Download YnHub here https://forum.dchublist.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=32 Unzip and u r done - hublist and ping is already setup.
Else:
Open your settings, click on hublist.
Check enable hublist registrations.
Check use this public registration server
Fill the fields nameand description and enter dchublist.org as host then set port to 2501 check allow pinger to connect to other users like so:
When done click on save as botton.
U should get something like that.
You are done.
3. Verlihub.
Use the following variables to setup hublist registration:
hublist_host: a list of hublist registering host separated by space.
hublist_port: the port of the registration server (port 2501 is the default one)
VerliHub is also capable of automatically register the hub every each interval of time. The variable timer_hublist_period specify the time in seconds that VerliHub should wait to between two hublists registrations. For example if you want to register your hub every 10 minutes use:
!set timer_hublist_period 600
Automatic registration is disabled by default. If you would like to disable it again use the value 0.
You can manually register the hub by using the following command: !hublist
There is some issues with verlihub - in next version of hublist server they will be gone but untill we get it up lest make some adjustments in verlihub settings database like so:
Lets open verlihubs settings table in database.
Lets scroll down to hub_host and lets make sure it has a port specified there. It's important! It will only work without this if it servers on port 411 if your hub is serving on any other port than 411 please enter ONE there.
I repeat - only one. Verli can serve on 20 ports - we only need one working port there. Like so:
Once we done with that part lests scoroll down to fields called hublist_send_minshare and make sure we disable it by entering 0 there.
Like so:
Once done lets save the changes in database. Restart or reload verlihub and we are all set.
!hublist to manually reg just once.
!set timer_hublist_period 600 or wahtever the time you would like i think 600 (10 minutes) is fine. This will autoreg. every ten minutes - updating btw user count. Cool stuff.
Next version planned to go live within a month will solve all verlihubs issues, until then lets set this stuff right.
If there is other NMDC hub software with hublist registration support please let us know below. We will do a mini tutorial on them too.
Note.
ADC didn't come up with working auto registration system yet. Something definitely to do in the future.
That is all folks. Please excuse my english and typos.
