Setup

Prerequisites

• Linux
• (Tested with) Python 3.10
• Openssl (optional)

Step By Step

Create a Python venv:

$ python -m venv venv_site
$ . ./venv_site/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup SSL certificate (optional):

$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem -days 365

---

Note: When using no certificates (a.k.a. skipping this step), it is required to edit wsgi.py and change ssl_context=('cert.pem', 'key.pem') to ssl_context='adhoc'.

Copy the server from Assetto Corsa's installation to ./content:

$ cp [...]/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/assettocorsa/server ./content -r

Generate track perviews for the website:

cd scripts
./gen_all_track_previews.sh [...]/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/assettocorsa

Running

$ python wsgi.py Start the web server.

Then also launch the race server manager:

$ cd content
$ python manager.py

Now you can checkout the website on https://127.0.0.1:8050, the server is available in-game on port 9600.

Progress

• Update package versions in requirements.txt
• Track preview generation: Fix large tracks not showing

Server Runner

• Fix web socket (might be overflow or un-flushed buffer)
• Update server using steamCMD:
  • https://linuxgsm.com/servers/acserver/
  • https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux_Scripts

Website

• Intergrate into Flask for HTTPS support
• Upload mod:
  • Detect track/car/unsupported
• Support running without Flask to regain the Dash web debugger

Security

• Implement Flask security measures: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/security/
• Prevent webcrawlers using robots.txt
• Sanitize client input, e.g. remove escapes from selected track

AC Server

• Add SOL weather support
