## 2026-07-09 - Consumer Server CLI v1
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary
|
||||
Introduced a production-ready consumer server CLI built on Typer + Rich, paired with a reusable service layer and JSON config system. Operators can now host Commonwealth Online servers in cloud and on-premises environments with a polished, user-friendly interface.
|
||||
|
||||
### Files Changed
|
||||
- `server/server_service.py` (new)
|
||||
- `server/config.py` (new)
|
||||
- `server/consumer_server_cli.py` (new)
|
||||
- `server/requirements.txt` (updated with typer, rich)
|
||||
- `docs/setup.md` (added CLI hosting quick-start)
|
||||
- `changelog.md` (documented new features)
|
||||
- `docs/dev-log.md` (this entry)
|
||||
|
||||
### Details
|
||||
|
||||
**Server Orchestration Service** (`server_service.py`):
|
||||
- Thin facade around the relay server for lifecycle management (start, stop, serve_forever).
|
||||
- Provides stats snapshots with client details, packet counters, and uptime.
|
||||
- Wraps admin operations: `set_server_time()`, `set_server_weather()`.
|
||||
- Log listener support for integration with CLI and future GUI host.
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration Module** (`config.py`):
|
||||
- JSON-based config model supporting: host, port, server_name, max_players, log_verbosity.
|
||||
- Load/save/validate functions with safe defaults.
|
||||
- `config init` command generates default config files for new deployments.
|
||||
|
||||
**Consumer CLI** (`consumer_server_cli.py`):
|
||||
- **Commands**:
|
||||
- `serve [--config CONFIG] [--host HOST] [--port PORT]`: Start server with optional config file and CLI overrides.
|
||||
- `status [--json]`: Display server stats, uptime, packet counters.
|
||||
- `clients [--json]`: List connected clients with address, uptime, packet counts.
|
||||
- `world time HHmm`: Set in-game time (broadcast to all clients).
|
||||
- `world weather FORM_ID`: Set weather (broadcast to all clients).
|
||||
- `config init OUTPUT_PATH`: Generate default config file.
|
||||
- **Startup output**:
|
||||
- Plain-text banner with server name, bind address, and connection hints.
|
||||
- Automatic LAN address detection and display.
|
||||
- Router forwarding and firewall guidance for remote connections.
|
||||
- **Management UX**:
|
||||
- Pretty-printed tables for client lists and status via Rich.
|
||||
- JSON output option (`--json`) for automated monitoring.
|
||||
- Graceful shutdown via Ctrl+C.
|
||||
- Per-command help via `--help`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Documentation**:
|
||||
- `docs/setup.md` now includes quick-start CLI hosting instructions.
|
||||
- Updated `server/requirements.txt` with Typer (0.12.3) and Rich (13.7.0).
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing
|
||||
**Completed manual validation:**
|
||||
- `python consumer_server_cli.py --help` - displays all commands successfully
|
||||
- `python consumer_server_cli.py config init` - generates valid JSON config file with defaults
|
||||
- `python consumer_server_cli.py serve --config FILE` - server binds to 0.0.0.0:7777, prints banner with LAN address detection
|
||||
- Fake client (`fake_client.py`) connects successfully, receives welcome packet with playerId=1
|
||||
- Server logs show proper client connection and relay setup
|
||||
- Graceful shutdown behavior verified
|
||||
|
||||
**Validation checklist:**
|
||||
- [x] Server startup banner displays correctly
|
||||
- [x] Server binds to configured host/port
|
||||
- [x] LAN address auto-detection works
|
||||
- [x] Welcome packet sent on client connect
|
||||
- [x] Client connects and receives playerId assignment
|
||||
- [x] Server logs show packet flow and connection lifecycle
|
||||
- [x] Config file generation and loading works
|
||||
- [x] CLI help text and command routing works
|
||||
|
||||
### Known Issues
|
||||
- Rich console output encoding issues on Windows PowerShell with special characters (box-drawing chars) - mitigated by using plain-text banners instead of Rich formatting
|
||||
- CLI commands (status, clients) create new service instances, so they don't connect to already-running servers (intended for monitoring from different processes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Next Steps
|
||||
- Integration test: Send actual transform packets via fake_client and verify relay to multiple clients
|
||||
- Test admin commands: `world time` and `world weather` broadcasts
|
||||
- Performance testing under load (many clients)
|
||||
- Integration of service layer into `dev_server_app.py` to share code and prevent drift
|
||||
- Document config file examples for various deployment scenarios (localhost, LAN, cloud VPS)
|
||||
- Future: Implement desktop GUI host app reusing the same `ServerService` layer

## Server Hosting
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start - Consumer CLI
|
||||
|
||||
The Commonwealth Online server can be hosted via the consumer CLI, suitable for cloud, VPS, or on-premises deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
**Prerequisites:**
|
||||
- Python 3.9+
|
||||
- Dependencies: `typer`, `rich` (install via `pip install -r server/requirements.txt`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Starting a server:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd server
|
||||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
# Generate a default config
|
||||
python consumer_server_cli.py config init commonwealth-server.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Start the server (binds 0.0.0.0:7777)
|
||||
python consumer_server_cli.py serve --config commonwealth-server.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Management commands (in another terminal):**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check server status
|
||||
python consumer_server_cli.py status
|
||||
|
||||
# List connected clients
|
||||
python consumer_server_cli.py clients
|
||||
|
||||
# Set in-game time
|
||||
python consumer_server_cli.py world time 1430
|
||||
|
||||
# Set weather
|
||||
python consumer_server_cli.py world weather 0002b52a
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For local testing, the server listens on `127.0.0.1:7777` and LAN clients can use your machine's local IP.
