Idlemod Webserver

This is the (very simple) Flask Idlemod webserver. It is used for packing existing mods present in this repository into a single data file - useful for people that do not want to use the CLI and want to simply play the mods.

You can access it live at https://idlemod.svit.ac.

Note: Mod folders starting with dot (.) are marked as WIP/temporary, and will be excluded from the webpage's mod list.

Running it locally (for development)

1. Install Python 3.10+ virtualenv in ./.venv: python3 -m venv .venv;
   • Python 3.12 is recommended;
2. Activate the virtualenv: source .venv/bin/activate;
3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt;
4. service idlemod start if running via systemd, or simply ./start.sh;
   • The webserver operates as a socket file. You can use systemd to manage it (see idlemod.service for example), or simply run ./start.sh to start the Flask app.
5. Place your original data files in ../data/ (see ../data/README.md for more info);
