# 🚀 Setup Guide for Minecraft Dashboard

## Quick Setup (Recommended)

### Step 1: Ensure Minecraft Server is Running

First, make sure your Minecraft server is running. Save this as `docker-compose.minecraft.yml`:

```yaml
version: '3.8'

services:
  minecraft:
    image: itzg/minecraft-server:latest
    container_name: mc-java
    environment:
      EULA: "TRUE"
      ENABLE_RCON: "true"
      RCON_PASSWORD: "bethureddy1"
      RCON_PORT: "25575"
      TZ: "America/Chicago"
      TYPE: "PAPER"
      VERSION: "1.21.10"
      MEMORY: "20G"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    expose:
      - "25565"
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - mcnet

  nginx-stream:
    image: nginx:1.27-alpine
    container_name: mc-proxy
    depends_on:
      - minecraft
    ports:
      - "25565:25565/tcp"
    volumes:
      - ./nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - mcnet

networks:
  mcnet:
    driver: bridge
```

Start the Minecraft server:
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.minecraft.yml up -d
```

### Step 2: Start the Dashboard

Make the start script executable and run it:

```bash
chmod +x start-dashboard.sh
./start-dashboard.sh
```

Or manually:
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml up -d --build
```

### Step 3: Access the Dashboard

Open your browser and navigate to:
```
http://localhost:8080
```

## 🎯 What You'll See

The dashboard displays:

1. **Server Status** - Real-time online/offline indicator
2. **Control Buttons** - Start and Stop your server
3. **Player Count** - Current players vs max capacity
4. **Server Version** - Minecraft version running
5. **Latency** - Server response time
6. **TPS** - Server performance (if available)
7. **Online Players List** - Names of all connected players
8. **MOTD** - Server message of the day

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting

### Dashboard shows "Server Offline" but server is running

1. Check if both containers are on the same network:
   ```bash
   docker network inspect mcnet
   ```

2. Verify RCON is enabled on the Minecraft server:
   ```bash
   docker exec mc-java cat /data/server.properties | grep rcon
   ```

3. Check backend logs:
   ```bash
   docker logs mc-dashboard-backend
   ```

### Start/Stop buttons don't work

The backend needs access to the Docker socket. Verify the volume mount:
```bash
docker inspect mc-dashboard-backend | grep docker.sock
```

Should show: `/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock`

### Dashboard won't load

1. Check if frontend is running:
   ```bash
   docker ps | grep mc-dashboard-frontend
   ```

2. Check frontend logs:
   ```bash
   docker logs mc-dashboard-frontend
   ```

3. Verify port 8080 is not in use:
   ```bash
   lsof -i :8080
   ```

## 🔄 Updates and Maintenance

### Rebuild the Dashboard
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml up -d --build
```

### View Logs
```bash
# All services
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml logs -f

# Backend only
docker logs -f mc-dashboard-backend

# Frontend only
docker logs -f mc-dashboard-frontend
```

### Stop the Dashboard
```bash
./stop-dashboard.sh
```

Or manually:
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml down
```

## 🔐 Security Considerations

1. **Change RCON Password**: Update `RCON_PASSWORD` in both your Minecraft and dashboard configurations
2. **Firewall**: Only expose port 8080 to trusted networks
3. **Reverse Proxy**: Consider using nginx/traefik with authentication for production
4. **Docker Socket**: The backend needs Docker socket access - only run in trusted environments

## 📊 Port Usage

- **8080** - Dashboard web interface
- **3001** - Backend API (internal only)
- **25565** - Minecraft server
- **25575** - RCON (internal only)

## 🎨 Customization

### Change Dashboard Port

Edit `docker-compose.dashboard.yml`:
```yaml
mc-dashboard-frontend:
  ports:
    - "3000:80"  # Change 8080 to your preferred port
```

### Update Refresh Interval

Edit `frontend/src/App.jsx`, line with `setInterval`:
```javascript
const interval = setInterval(fetchStatus, 10000) // 10 seconds instead of 5
```

## 🐳 Docker Commands Reference

```bash
# Start everything
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml up -d

# Stop everything
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml down

# Rebuild and restart
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml up -d --build

# View logs
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml logs -f

# Restart a specific service
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml restart mc-dashboard-backend

# Remove everything including volumes
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml down -v
```

## ✅ Verification Checklist

- [ ] Minecraft server is running
- [ ] RCON is enabled on Minecraft server
- [ ] Both services are on `mcnet` network
- [ ] Backend has Docker socket access
- [ ] Port 8080 is available
- [ ] Dashboard shows "Server Online"
- [ ] Start/Stop buttons work
- [ ] Player count updates

## 🆘 Getting Help

If you encounter issues:

1. Check logs: `docker-compose -f docker-compose.dashboard.yml logs`
2. Verify network: `docker network inspect mcnet`
3. Test RCON: `docker exec mc-java rcon-cli -p bethureddy1 list`
4. Restart everything: `./stop-dashboard.sh && ./start-dashboard.sh`
