homeserver?

[Static]

If you want portability, you may need to sacrifice a bit of performance. You could get a virtual machine. Install the server on the virtual machine and put the image on a USB. That means that on any computer, you just have to install the virtual machine host, which is way less trouble when installing appserver and setting up mysql tables and all that crap.


There are two issues with this:
* performance issue (you now have another OS running which is eating up your ram and cpu)
* ip is not fixed to "localhost" etc.
* the configuration (useropts.cfg) that came with reality:

AuthServer (?? can't remember this one) = 127.0.0.1
MarginServerDNSSuffix = ".local.mxoemu.info"

So if you want to run a private server on a different machine, you would need to edit your hosts file and add the following:

Reality = <machine ip>
Reality.local.mxoemu.info = <machine ip>

You would also need to edit your useropts.cfg to say

AuthServer (?? can't remember this one) = Reality
MarginServerDNSSuffix = ".local.mxoemu.info"

Note: When setting up the private server for the first time, you have to pay attention to the public/private keys otherwise you will run into problems such as "Margin disconnected" and various authentication failures.
