I wondered wheter it would be useful to administrate a server remotely (it will need PHP). Is the community interested in something like this?
It could have an area to install/uninstall mods, administrate players, free space on hard drive etc... It could alert you if you have less than 1 GB free space on your hard drive to avoid map destruction....
What do you think? Do you have any other ideas?

+1 was planning on doing this myself at some point when I had free time, but yeah not yet had much free time....I've got to stop keep taking on more contracts as soon as one finishes haha.

Anyway, would be useful, you could have a look at McMyAdmin which is a web based Minecraft server admin for ideas etc, I did some work on that a while back with Phonic when it was starting out and its now probably the most popular web based admin panel for Minecraft.

I still use it on my dedicated Minecraft servers and can't really fault it....well some stuff annoys me about it like some of ajax being a bit shoddy but that is easily fixed and only interface stuff.

I think that it should have a method to interface with mods that support it. Maybe some sort of API?

Hmm, i don't really understand what you want.... :/

Give an API for mods that need to report something to the server administration interface, so there can be status messages from mods.

Great idea, it just needs to write a text into a text file, which i can read with PHP. :)

Text files are a pain to manage. Maybe pipes. sockets, or something of that sort?

Perhaps this could support my external commands mod. It reads from a text file, and I plan on having it write messages to another file.

That's not really related, we're discussing server administration in PHP.

On a related topic, you may want to try my remote admin via IRC mod.

Well, it's in progress. I hope that I can find a way to interact with the server...

Looks cool! I cancelled this project for now. I don't have time for it...

What is the status of this? It looks really cool. :)

by **taikedz** » Sun Jul 17, 2016 13:27

On the face of it sounds very cool. I note that it would need a robust login system other wise anybody could admin the server.

It might be of interest instead to see if you could integrate a minetest admin function as a module to an already existing web manager framework (say Ajenti? http://ajenti.org/) - mt becomes available to all users of that platform and we get a nice GUI way of managing....
