https://firebase.google.com/ you have to click see our new website to get to firebase 3.0 i believe... fuck if i know why https://github.com/rokf/lua-firebase if rokf isn't a complete and utter fucking ass this should turn out very nice

Firebase is looking much better. The limiting factor is 2,000 uploads a day (for the free version). Doubt every sector would even need to be uploaded. https://firebase.google.com/pricing/ You basically just log in and it click the security \ db you want. There isn't a set file structure. I had my phone sending coords to firebase for a while lol. This I could test out later. I will try to send something from lua to the db... not sure what yet. Also firebase has this amazing feature, when it says it is running. It is actually running a database with out 4 hours of troubleshooting!

So far here is my process on Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (all free btw) this is a WIP to test this out. for windows you can http://www.postgresqltutorial.com/install-postgresql/ sudo apt-get install postgresql sudo apt-get install postgresql-client sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start sudo passwd postgres *some new psswd* sudo usermod -aG sudo postgres had to install postgres client manually with sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-9.6 sudo update-rc.d postgresql enable //runs postgres on startup sudo apt-get install nodejs npm sudo npm install -g sequelize ok now for postgres stuff https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/tutorial-createdb.html sudo su postgres createdb tradnet psql tradenet CREATE ROLE tradmin WITH SUPERUSER; //looks like the postgres server is good to go. if it isn't that won't be too big of a deal https://github.com/arcapos/luapgsql/blob/master/luapgsql.adoc looks like someone has a recommended GH repo that can make information from the lua script go right into the DB... hopefully

Had to shed that old skin. Now that I am looking at this again. I worry about concurrent connections and issues organizing something like a JSON file. Even if the player crashes something like Sequelize would work well because it is a promise based ORM. Seems complicated or hard... after you start using it, it becomes really easy. I'll DM this too, hopefully it will stick after I am banned again. Oh mods, no thoughts, no communication... just ban ban ban
