UnturnedHTTPServer

A simple HTTP server that runs as a plugin, allowing you to run a website off your server!

With this plugin, you can run a simple HTTP server off your Unturned Server. You can also manage/check the status of the http server in-game.

Permission Nodes:

Permission Node	Related Permission
httpserver	Base Permission Node to run /HttpServer
httpserver.start	Allows the user to Start the HTTP server
httpserver.stop	Allows the user to Stop the HTTP Server
httpserver.status	Allows the user to check the status of the HTTP Server

Commands:

/HTTPServer is the command you use to control the HTTP Server in-game. With it, you can Start, Stop, and Check the status of the HTTP Server.

Starting the Server: (Using settings in the config)

/HTTPServer Start

Starting the Server: (Using the specified port)

/HTTPServer Start (Port)

Stopping the Server:

/HTTPServer Stop

Checking the Server's Status:

/HTTPServer Status

Config

Settings Key	Relevant Setting
HTTPServerAddress	The Prefix for the HTTP Server (See below)
AutostartHTTPServer	Specifies if the HTTP Server should start when the Unturned Server Starts
AllowHTTPControls	Specifies if the HTTP Server Start/Stop Commands are enabled.
VerboseOutput	Enables/Disables Verbose Output (Verbose output can get spamy on large servers)
HTTPServerDirectory	The Directory (folder) that contains the files/folders to host, Defaults to the 'Server" folder inside of the Plugin's config folder
RootServerFile	Specifies the root file (e.g., the file you get when going to www.domain.com), set it do %auto for auto-detect

Server Prefix:

The server prefix specifies how the server runs. It must end in a forward slash, specify the method (http or https), the scope, and the port.

Method

Most people will just use https. But you can use https, but you need an SSL certificate to be installed on the host computer.

Scope

The 3 most common scopes are Local, Specific, and All.

Scope	Key	Info	Example
All	*	Allows the server to be connected to from any domain	http://*:80/
Specific	(Server IP or Domain)	Allows the server to be only connected to via the key	http://domain.com:80/
Local	Localhost	Only allows the server to be connected to via localhost (The host pc)	http://localhost:80/

Most People will just want to use the default, All (*).

Setup; Basic

This HTTP server can run off the main port of your Unturned Server. Since the ports for your server (Your base port, though to your base port + 2) are commonly TCP/UDP, this plugin can utilise the TCP connection for your server to run a http server. This also means you can use this plugin even if you’re not using a dedicated server.

Note: I have not Thoroughly tested this for issues, but basic tests have shown no issue with running the http server on the same port as your base server itself. (I believe the base port uses UDP to query the server, so TCP is left open for the HTTP server)

Setup; Alternate Port.

For hosting the server on an alternate port, you will need to open that port and port-forward it.

Port Forward

Port forward the TCP port the HTTP server is running off

Open the port
