## Configuration - XAseco

I've taken the freedom to ease the MySQL configuration a bit.  
Other plugins still need to be configured fully.  
Acquire the necessary files and follow the guide to custom configurations below.

### Mandatory

```
  - MASTERADMIN_LOGIN           | Login name of the player to assume MasterAdmin role for XAseco
```

### MySQL

```
  - MYSQL_HOST                  | Host of MySQL database -> Default : db
  - MYSQL_LOGIN                 | Username of MySQL database -> Default : trackmania
  - MYSQL_PASSWORD (Mandatory)  | Password of MySQL user
  - MYSQL_DATABASE              | Name of MySQL database -> Default : trackmania 
```

## Customization

Apart from the configuration possibilities, I've included some scripts to add custom tracks, tracklist, configuration files, plugins and a blacklist to disable unwanted default plugins.

### Custom Tracks

While the Nadeo tracks are available in this repository and accessible under `GameData/Tracks/Challenges/Nadeo/`,
adding custom tracks from e.g. [Trackmania Exchange](https://tmuf.exchange/) is as simple as placing the files
in the `tracks/` folder and mounting it to `/var/lib/tmserver/GameData/Tracks/Custom/`.

```
[...]
  tmserver:
    image: fanyx/tmserver
    [...]
    volumes:
     - ./tracks:/var/lib/tmserver/GameData/Tracks/Custom
[...]
```

### Custom Playlist

You can add tracks to a playlist in a simple way.  
Create a plaintext file like in the example below and mount it to `/var/lib/tmserver/playlist.txt`.

The tracks for the server are stored relative to `/var/lib/tmserver/GameData/Tracks`.  
Creating your own playlist is as easy as specifying each track on a separate line in the `playlist.txt`
by its relative path to the `Tracks` folder.

#### Example:
Folder structure:
```
|--> docker-compose.yml
|--> ./tracks
  |--> mini01.Challenge.Gbx
  `--> SpeedxZxZ.Challenge.Gbx
|--> ./db-data
`--> ./playlist.txt
```

playlist.txt :
```
Challenges/Nadeo/C01-Race.Challenge.Gbx
Custom/mini01.Challenge.Gbx
Custom/SpeedxZxZ.Challenge.Gbx
```

### Custom configuration files

Most plugins need you to provide valid configuration files to function in the first place.  
Place these in a folder e.g. `config/` and mount it to `/var/lib/xaseco/config/`.  
All files will be linked to XAseco's root folder.

Careful, this will overwrite exisiting default files and `localdatabase.xml` as well.

### Custom plugins

Custom plugins work similar to configuration files.  
Create a folder like `plugins/` and mount it to `/var/lib/xaseco/plugins/custom/`.  
They will be linked down to the plugins folder.

### Plugin blacklist

Create a file called `blacklist` and list plugins by filename that you want ignored on
XAseco's boot.  
Mount this file at `/var/lib/xaseco/blacklist`.

blacklist:
```
jfreu.chat.php
jfreu.plugin.php
```

would disable jfreu's plugins but leave all others enabled.
