oierandClaude Opus 5 92c6f5fc8f feat(compose): mount mods, config and kubejs writable
Drop :ro from ./server-mods:/mods and the four kubejs source subdirs, and
add a new ./server-config:/data/config bind — mod config used to live only
inside the mc_data volume, unreachable from the host without root.

The config bind needs seeding: a bind mount shadows what is under it, so an
empty ./server-config hides the generated config and every mod falls back to
defaults. tooling/export-server-config.sh copies /data/config out of the
volume first, halting if the target is non-empty, if the container is still
running, or if the mc_data volume name is ambiguous.

Writable mounts also need the server's uid (itzg runs as 1000) to have write
access on the host dir; oxps' host user is 1002, hence MC_UID/MC_GID.

The kubejs ROOT still must not be mounted — BaseProperties.save() NPEs and
kubejs never initialises. That is about mounting the root at all, not about
the mode, so dropping :ro does not change it. It does mean kubejs writes now
land in $DISTRIBUTION_WEB_ROOT as uncommitted changes in that host's checkout.

Also documents how to reach the mc_data volume (exec/cp, resolved host path,
stop-before-write rule) in plan/05-minecraft.md.

Tooling — config rendering, mod sync, ingress, fetch scripts

Summary

Scripts in ./tooling/ turn BASE_DOMAIN + templates into a working stack and handle ingress (nginx vhost, TLS certs) and launcher/font fetches. All are cautious: they halt on unset vars or missing inputs rather than emit half-broken output.

Surviving scripts:

  • render-config.sh — render *.tmpl configs (BASE_DOMAIN only)
  • classify-mods.py — read each jar's neoforge.mods.toml, seed mods-sides.json (see 04-mods.md)
  • sync-server-mods.sh — copy both/server jars from the distribution → ./server-mods (see 04-mods.md)
  • build-modlist.py — generate the landing mods.json + extract logos (see 17-mod-shortlist.md)
  • export-server-config.sh — seed ./server-config from mc_data:/data/config before the rw bind mount takes over (once per host, see 05-minecraft.md)
  • render-nginx.sh — render/install the host nginx vhost (TLS terminator → caddy)
  • issue-letsencrypt.sh — issue LE certs via OVH DNS-01 (see 15-letsencrypt.md)
  • fetch-launcher.sh — download Fjord launcher release assets (see 06-launcher.md)
  • fetch-authlib.sh — vendor the authlib-injector jar → runtime/
  • fetch-fonts.sh — vendor the landing page fonts (see 09-landing.md)

render-config.sh

Renders every *.tmpl into its real config by substituting only ${BASE_DOMAIN} (so literal $-syntax belonging to the target file — caddy, toml — is left untouched). Caddy is excluded entirely (it reads {$BASE_DOMAIN} natively).

Targets:

  • drasl/config/config.toml.tmpl → drasl/config/config.toml
  • nmsr/config.toml.tmpl → nmsr/config.toml

Mods are not rendered — they are synced from the distribution by sync-server-mods.sh (see 04-mods.md), no templating involved.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
cd "$(dirname "$0")/.."
[ -f .env ] && { set -a; . ./.env; set +a; }
: "${BASE_DOMAIN:?BASE_DOMAIN unset (set in .env)}"

render() {  # $1=tmpl  $2=out
  [ -f "$1" ] || { echo "missing template: $1" >&2; exit 1; }
  envsubst '${BASE_DOMAIN}' < "$1" > "$2"
  echo "rendered $2"
}

render drasl/config/config.toml.tmpl drasl/config/config.toml
render nmsr/config.toml.tmpl          nmsr/config.toml

render-nginx.sh

Renders nginx/ulicraft-caddy.conf.tmpl (the host nginx that terminates TLS in front of caddy), substituting $BASE_DOMAIN $APP_DIR $CADDY_HTTP_PORT. Prints to stdout by default; --install writes to sites-available, symlinks sites-enabled, nginx -t, and reloads nginx. See 15-letsencrypt.md.

issue-letsencrypt.sh

Issues a separate cert for the apex and each LE_SUBDOMAINS entry via acme.sh + OVH DNS-01 → certs/<name>/{cert,key}.pem. See 15-letsencrypt.md.

fetch-launcher.sh

Downloads FjordLauncherUnlocked release assets → launcher/<tag>/ and maintains a latest symlink + stable per-OS filename symlinks. Full script in 06-launcher.md.

export-server-config.sh

One-shot, once per host. Copies /data/config out of the mc_data volume into ./server-config so the rw bind mount ./server-config:/data/config does not shadow the mod configs the server already generated. Halts if the target is non-empty, if the minecraft container is still running, or if the mc_data volume name is ambiguous. Chowns the result to MC_UID/MC_GID (default 1000:1000; oxps needs 1002). See 05-minecraft.md.
