TServerWeb

This is the release thread and online support thread for TServerWeb.com. Please post any questions, comments, or suggestions here as I continue to develop the project. This project took over a year to develop to point of release and I will continue to support it in the future.

This should work with any version of TShock, but if you experience any errors please let me know what version you are running. Some of the REST API Endpoints may have changed.

Follow the project on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TServerWeb

What does it do?
With TServerWeb you can control your TShock server online through the website. You simply need to enable the TShock REST API in your server configuration. This includes the following:

• Viewing who is online
• Kicking, banning, healing and viewing player inventory
• Running console commands
• Managing the user groups, including the permissions and color
• Editing members and their group
• Executing World commands, such as spawning a meteor
• Managing your banned users and lifting a ban
• Server listed with public profile (free advertising)
• Easily manage multiple servers (publicly listed or private)

How do I enable the TShock REST API?
To enable the TShock REST API, you need to open a second port on your server. The API is a seperate service that runs along side your Terraria Server (powered by TShock). Open the configuration and look for the following lines:

/tshock/config.json

Code:

  "RestApiEnabled": false,
  "RestApiPort": 7878,

Set the "RestApiEnable" option to true. Once this is done you will need to restart your server and the API will be running on the port specified. You can now login to your control panel and add the server API information to start using the control panel. You must use a user account in a group with the restapi permission assigned to that group or your superadmin account for the API to function properly.

How is this helpful?
I originally started this project for myself to manage my own server. I wanted a way to easily setup the groups, group colors and permissions without having to type a series of comments to get things setup the way I wanted. Once I started to realize how powerful the REST API is, I wanted to take advantage of it and decided to let others use it too and incorporate as much of the API as I possibly could. As it turned out, I had a lot of fun along a way and met some great people.

Notes
This project is still in active development, if you see errors please just try again or let me know so I can fix it right away.

 

MySQL support is not planned at this time, but it's something I can look into. It should not be needed if the API works, the API is also a safer route.

 

Just fixed a bug which prevented a user from adding the server website to the server profile when editing a server's public profile information. The website link is showing up now along with the field to save it.

 

Updates:

• Proxies are now blocked when adding votes to a server to prevent fake votes.
• Superadmin account is no longer required, as long as the account being used is in a group with access to the restapi permission set, then the manage will function perfectly.
• Fixed odd characters showing up in server titles.
• Pending comment count is now showing the correct number.

 

Thank you! Yes, actually I am working on a vote plugin with a friend for in-game rewards. Stay tuned.
Edit: Yes, you can only like or dislike a server every 24 hours, you don't like that?

 

This error is because the username and password used to generate a token failed. Double check your server configuration and make sure you're using the correct login. If it is correct, please PM me the server ID. This might also be due to having any special characters in the player name.
