# Gameservers World – Development & Operations TODO
|
||||
|
||||
This document tracks development tasks, infrastructure setup, and business steps for building our commercial game server community around the **GS Panel** (fork of OGP), aka **GSP**.
|
||||
The software is developed and maintained by **World Domination Software (WDS)**.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## BASE TODO
|
||||
- [ ] Repo for GSW website
|
||||
- [ ] Repo for WDS website
|
||||
- [ ] Create organization for WDS
|
||||
- [ ] Create OGP-like section and forum/docs on WDS website
|
||||
- [ ] Repo for game post-install config scripts and files
|
||||
- [ ] Compare agent files — can we use the same files?
|
||||
- [ ] Add scripts for setting up servers with required files, DLL, settings
|
||||
- [ ] DR server
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Core Panel (OGP → GS Fork)
|
||||
- [ ] GSW is a host provider. GSP is a product of WDS. Brand as such. The WDS site needs to keep the forum and documentation.
|
||||
- [ ] Replace all references from **OGP** → **GS / Gameservers World**
|
||||
- [ ] Update UI text, branding, and logos
|
||||
- [ ] Create new default theme (dark/light mode support)
|
||||
- [ ] Review and clean up legacy OGP code no longer needed
|
||||
- [ ] Update README.md with GS branding + installation instructions
|
||||
- [ ] Ensure GPL license text is preserved and updated with attribution
|
||||
- [ ] Remove `print` language as there is probably a better option now — which one?
|
||||
- [ ] GSP GitHub needs Wiki
|
||||
- [ ] Create releases for GSP and the AGENT
|
||||
- [ ] Agent assistant on sites
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Configuration & Secrets
|
||||
- [ ] Add `.gitignore` for secrets (`.env`, `config/*.local.*`, `*.secret.*`)
|
||||
- [ ] Create `.env.example` with all required environment variables
|
||||
- [ ] Add `config/*.dist` template files for MySQL, Hive.ini, Steam API keys
|
||||
- [ ] Write `scripts/load_env.sh` to load secrets into runtime
|
||||
- [ ] Decide secrets storage strategy
|
||||
- [ ] Private `gs-secrets` repo
|
||||
- [ ] Security: strong password for user, firewall rules to block DDoS and hack attempts, ability to ban IPs across all machines
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Database
|
||||
- [ ] Export schema from phpMyAdmin (`db/schema.sql`)
|
||||
- [ ] Add to repo under `/db/`
|
||||
- [ ] Keep migrations in `/db/migrations/`
|
||||
- [ ] Automate schema export with GitHub Actions (optional)
|
||||
- [ ] Document how to apply schema & migrations in README
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Backup & DR (Disaster Recovery)
|
||||
- [ ] Script to replicate MySQL (`mysqldump` or replication) to DR site
|
||||
- [ ] Script to mirror website files from GitHub into DR
|
||||
- [ ] Script to copy changed files from user servers → DR backup
|
||||
- [ ] Test recovery process from DR → production
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Game Server Management
|
||||
- [ ] Maintain list of all supported games (Linux, Windows, Unknown)
|
||||
- [ ] Include common mods per game (e.g., AMX for CS 1.6, DayZ DB)
|
||||
- [ ] Add database configuration docs for DB-based games
|
||||
- [ ] Implement server resource tiers (Low / Mid / High hardware)
|
||||
- [ ] Implement location toggles (ATL, LA, KC, etc.) and the ability to move server
|
||||
- [ ] Add slot-based pricing calculator to panel
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Automation & Scripts
|
||||
- [ ] Script to auto-pull latest GS panel updates to all servers
|
||||
- [ ] Script to create manifest of installed game files (with timestamps)
|
||||
- [ ] Watcher for Steam Workshop items (sync commonly used mods). Scan workshops or keep in SQL and update continually. Update the working install when needed, but we have the files cached.
|
||||
- [ ] Multi-server RCON tool for posting messages from the panel (like BEC/B3 built into the panel)
|
||||
- [ ] Git push/pull sync scripts for private repos (`git_force.sh`)
|
||||
- [ ] Git push/pull sync for a setup script for each gameserver: includes Steam install, workshop installs, our post-install configs, then from backup. Recreate a server from script for DR or migration.
|
||||
- [ ] Script to analyze game server resource usage and track over time. Display on core server webpage to admins. Alert on issues.

|
||||
- [ ] Tier hosting hardware (low/mid/high specs)
|
||||
- [ ] Identify best global server locations (based on player/server data)
|
||||
- [ ] Implement DNS failover for panel & DR site
|
||||

# ✅ Notes
|
||||
- **GPL Compliance**: Keep OGP attribution in LICENSE, but rebrand UI and docs to GS.
|
||||
- **Secrets**: Never commit live passwords or IPs to public repos — use `.env` or secrets repo.
|
||||
- **Testing**: Always stage DB changes, backup scripts, and automation before production.
