Usage

MongoDB

Black Mesa uses MongoDB as the database and will use it to read and write configuration data, actions and logs.

Black Mesa also uses Redis for short term variable sharing such as keeping record of CPU/Memory Usage, Automod Data, etc.

Black Mesa configuration is in docker-compse.yml, this is where you will store your Token, Mongo DB URI and Redis URI

If you are using Docker you will need to docker-compose build again before the configuration updates.
