Setup

This will walk you through installing HuskSync on your network of Spigot servers.

Requirements

• A MySQL Database (v8.0+)
• A Redis Database (v5.0+) — see FAQs for more details.
• Any number of proxied Spigot servers (Minecraft v1.16.5+, running Java 16+)

Setup Instructions

1. Install the jar

• Place the plugin jar file in the /plugins/ directory of each Spigot server.
• You do not need to install HuskSync as a proxy plugin.

2. Restart servers

• Start, then stop every server to let HuskSync generate the config file.
• HuskSync will throw an error in console and disable itself as it is unable to connect to the database. You haven't set the credentials yet, so this is expected.
• Advanced users: If you'd prefer, you can just create one config.yml file and create symbolic links in each /plugins/HuskSync/ folder to it to make updating it easier.

3. Enter MySQL & Redis database credentails

• Navigate to the HuskSync config file on each server (~/plugins/HuskSync/config.yml)
• Under credentials in the database section, enter the credentials of your MySQL Database. You shouldn't touch the connection_pool properties.
• Under credentials in the redis section, enter the credentails of your Redis Database. If your Redis server doesn't have a password, leave the password blank as it is.
• Unless you want to have multiple clusters of servers within your network, each with separate user data, do not change the value of cluster_id.

4. Start every server again

• Provided your MySQL and Redis credentials were correct, synchronisation should begin as soon as you start your servers again.
• If you need to import data from HuskSync v1.x or MySQLPlayerDataBridge, please see the guides below:
  • Legacy Migration
  • MPDB Migration
