Today's Topics:1. Diva Distro does not work for me-alternatives please (Timeka Cobb)
Hi Timeka! Dreamgrid has Diva Wifi in it, with customizable Black and White themes now. It's not Linux-ey, but Dreamgrid does run on all Windows boxes including 7, 8, and 10 and all server products. It just uses RAM and cores and some disk space, and not much else. Dreamgrid is Dot Net 'wrapper' that runs tests on the network and then edits the INI files. One click of Start then launches stock Mysql, Robust and Opensim.
If you need a higher level overview than all this detail, the OSCC2018 presentation is at https://www.outworldz.com/secondlife/OSCC/ and a 20 minute Youtube video of me yacking is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrDxpzI7Gsk
Dreamgrid is 100% stock Opensim internally. You could just extract it on any Windows box and run Opensim/bin/opensim.exe as-is. If so, you would need to do a few edits to INi files. Dreamgrid is designed to automated this and make it very easy to do. Its overall still very complex as there is a lot of stuff there, but you can still start a new grid in two clicks.
You can download the zip file, or run the simple installer, then edit the usual INI files by hand. Or run Dreamgrid once to make a working config, alter it the way you like, and if you still want to roll your own, run it from a DOS prompt after that. There is a DOS command included (startmanually.bat) to launch Mysql (and a batch file to run it as a service if that's what you prefer) , and another batch file to start robust. Just type 'go regionname' and it will run without Dreamgrid ever being used. I even include batch files to do these tasks individually, and a sample and simple batch file to do them all at once.
Dreamgrid makes it a lot easier to get up quickly, as it picks defaults that always work. If ports are open and loopback works, it will be on the hypergrid, too. It sets up Diva, Robust, all the config files for Opensim, builds regions, and sets up tons of the modules like Gloebits, Vivox, Birds, Tides, Datasnapshot, Diva, AutoRestart, and many others. Dreamgrid does over 250 edits on startup, and then does about 300 more for each region. No need to mess with INI files, ever!
Source codes: My code is AGPL, so it's open source. All the code (including Opensim) is compiled by me and is digitally signed by Outworldz, LLC so it is safe to download and run. Dreamgrid downloads always include the source code for Opensim, which is also easily upgraded by copying a stock Opensim zip file over it and running prebuild and compile.bat, assuming you want to add modules or develop C# code or tweak Opensim. You can even compile it elsewhere and copy opensim/bin over my code. and it should work. Nothing gets stepped on. The source for both DG and Opensim is at github.com/Outworldz. You can clone that and compile it the app with Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 and it will run everything, including a database and Opensim immediately.
If you still want to roll your own from my base, there are some minor differences in INI settings you need to be aware of. It's still all core Opensim.
The region folders are set up to allow one Opensim.exe run all DOS instances. bin\Openim.ini is now bin\Opensim.proto. This gets copied into region folder as Opensim.ini so each DOS Box can have different settings, such as UBODE versus Bullet. bin\config-include\OSSLEnable.ini is now bin\config-include\OSSLEnableDG.ini, so stock Opensim does not overwrite it.
