Follow up from this https://piratemc.com/topic/map-im-working-on-the-map-use-this-alternative-link/

I got my https server working, Im copying over the map files, issue is, server needs to be offline for this to happen, and theres 13GB of map files, its not the size its the sheer number of images needed for the map thats going to take a long… long time, Im guessing itll take an hour to copy over the files to the new web server.

What are you doing and why?

Im trying (I’m not sure if itll even work) to get the Embed working on the map page on the website, since we moved to https, the map was in http, and you cant embed http inside https as it flags as insecure (Sigh) and there is no way to make the internal web-server for dynmap run in https, which means.. I have to host its own web-server, make this work with https, copy all files over, update the configs to update this new path and then embed the https link. What a pain in the ass.

Either way, I have the web-server running in https, and if it works it’ll also solve a few other issues:

• You will be able to directly link to the map from the map page, and not have to use the silly port it uses by viewing the iframe.
• Its not working yet, but using the server address in a browser will also show the map (mc.piratemc.com) certificate issues atm, as im working on just getting the map up first.
• Embed in https pages
• It wont use the shitty jetty web-server that dynmap uses, this will take strain off the server each time the page is loaded.

This is a bit of trial and error, so bare with me.

As of writing this its on 2.1gb/13gb copied over. (12:33 pm)

6.9gb at 13:16

Edit:

Bad news, I screwed up and have to start again 🙁 /me crys
