Additional steps to run this website

Disclaimers:

  • It's way easier to do everything on Linux but since the game server runs on Windows we'll stick to it.
  • This are the tools that worked with me in this specific scenario. Other alternatives to each program might be better or worse depending on the rented hosting services
  1. Rent a hosting service and a DNS
  2. Web Server
    • Download NginX (https://nginx.org/en/download.html) mainline version and extract into C:/nginx
    • Clone this repo in C:/nginx/html/thenewrookgaard.com/
    • Modify C:/nginx/conf/nginx.conf (see attachments)
  3. PHP
    • Download PHP (https://windows.php.net/download/) Thread Safe latest version and extract into C:/php
    • Make a copy of C:/php/php.ini-production and rename as php.ini (see attachments)
  4. Service Manager
    • Download NSSM (https://nssm.cc/download) latest release and extract into C:/nssm
    • Open command prompt as administrator in C:/nssm/win64/
    • Run 'nssm install', a GUI will appear and complete the Application tab:
      • Path: 'C:\php\php-cgi.exe'
      • Startup directory: 'C:\php'
      • Arguments: '-b 127.0.0.1:9000'
      • Service name: 'phpfcgi'
      • Click on 'Install service'
  5. SSL certificates for https
    • Download and extract win-acme (https://www.win-acme.com) into C:/win-acme
    • Open command prompt as administrator in C:/win-acme/
    • Run 'wacs.exe' and follow the instructions to create the certificate
    • Copy thenewrookgaard.com-crt.pem and thenewrookgaard.com-key.pem into C:/nginx/conf
  6. Go online
    • Run C:/nginx/nginx.exe
    • Open command prompt as administrator in C:/nssm/win64/
    • Run 'nssm start phpfcgi'
  7. Set up BTCPay payments
    • Get a BTCPay server and run a store
    • Create credentials.php in the same directory and store your BTCPay store credentials: 
      <?php
$storeId = 'yourStoreId';
$apiKey = 'yourGreenfieldApiKey';
?>
    • Download cacert.pem (https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html) into C:/nginx/html/thenewrookgaard.com/php next to payments.php

to renew certificate open command prompt as administrator in C:/win-acme/ and run 'wacs.exe --renew --force --verbose'
