Introduction

By configuring group servers, you can connect multiple servers to the same database, enabling cross-server teleportation, cross-server territory management, and other features.

Prerequisites

• Understand the Dominion configuration file structure and complete the basic configuration;
• Your server is a group server and has been configured with BungeeCord or Velocity;
• Prepare a MySQL, MariaDB, or PgSql database;

Configuration Method

Based on the issues encountered so far, there are three possible scenarios:

1. Upgrading from a lower version to 4, already in use (data has been generated);
2. Just installed Dominion and not yet in use (no data generated);

Scenario One

If you were previously using SqLite, you need to first export the database using /dom export db, then configure the new MySQL, MariaDB, or PgSql database and start the server once, import the database using /dom import db. Shut down the server, and continue configuring according to Scenario Two.

If your previous database was MySQL, MariaDB, or PgSql, you can directly refer to Scenario Two for configuration and add other sub-servers.

Warning

The server-id in this server configuration file cannot be modified!

Because the territories in the current database are all set to this server-id, modifying it will cause the original data to be unfindable.

Info

If you previously had multiple sub-servers, each with its own territory data, unfortunately, we currently do not have a safe way to merge the data from multiple sub-servers into one database. You can only choose to keep the territory data from one of the servers.

Scenario Two

1. Configure the Database

First, configure the database. You can choose to use MySQL, MariaDB, or PgSql, then configure the same database information in the plugins/Dominion/config.yml file of all sub-servers to connect all servers to the same database.

Warning

Do not start the server immediately after configuration!

2. Configure Server Information

Then configure the server information in the plugins/Dominion/config.yml file of each sub-server:

multi-server:
  enable: true
  server-name: server
  server-id: 1

Among them:

• multi-server.enable: Set to true to enable the group server feature;
• multi-server.server-name: The server name, which should be consistent with the server name in BungeeCord or Velocity;
• multi-server.server-id: The server ID, used internally by Dominion to distinguish different servers. This value should be a positive integer and unique across all servers;

3. Start the Server

Finally, ensure that all servers have configured the database information and server information, then start all servers.
