Express.js Website

Node UTStats Lite Website 2.0

The entire website has been remade after ditching Next.js & React following all the issues with the React2Shell vulnerability as well as community feedback to using a lightweight express.js setup, with embededjs and vanila javascript. There are also other benefits to not using Next.js some examples being: simplifying installs, simplifying upgrades, not having to stop the website, rebuild the website, and then restart the website to allow the website to see new map screenshots you have uploaded via admin tools.

Installing

• You can not upgrade from a previous version of node-utstats-lite, however map screenshots are still the same so you can just copy them to your new install's /public/images/maps folder.
• Create a new folder on your server, and then place the contents from the archive into that folder.
• Open a terminal in the installed folder and run the command npm install to install dependencies.
• Open config.mjs in a text editor and set your MYSQL settings(you can not use the previous sites database, you either need to drop the old database, or simply choose another database name like node_utstats_lite_2 if you want to have a backup of your previous data), you can also now change the website's port if you wish to.
• Open a terminal in the installed folder and run the commaned node install.mjs to create the database tables and settings needed for the site.

Running The Website

• In a terminal run the command node app.mjs

Note

• Not all the admin tools have been completed yet, all the previous site's tools will return.
• A few page elements are missing like the HeatMap activity component.
• The match JSON api is not done yet.
