How to Install

Requirements

• Podman Installed
• 7z (Or any tool that can extract tar.gz)
• SPPLegionV2
• Tailscale Account (Optional)

1. Once you have all the requirements, Place the archive tar.gz anywhere on your PC / Server. Then simply extract the contents perferably into an Empty Folder with your tool of choice.

2. Now Right Click inside the folder containing spp-manage.sh, and click Open Terminal Here, or CD into that Folder in the Terminal

3. Once inside run ./spp-manage.sh set-path <path> for example ./spp-manage.sh set-path "/home/ProtoPropski/Servers/Games/World of Warcraft/Legion/SPP-LegionV2" this will be the location of your SPPLegionV2 Server Folder containing all your .bat files like Update.bat, 1_Database+Web.bat, 2_Bnetserver.bat, and 3_Worldserver.bat

4. (OPTIONAL) tailscale can be optionally used for IPv4 Routing over the internet, if you want to use it you will need a Free Account, and to have Tailscale on your Client PC for connection, after making one goto https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/keys to create an Auth Key should start with tskey-auth-###### then use ./spp-manage.sh set-ts-key <key>, or navigate to 3 - Server Settings > 8 - Tailscale, and follow the instructions there if you don't want this don't worry it will be skipped during container creation automatically if you don't add a key, or login

5. Now use ./spp-manage.sh this will open the TUI Menu

6. Choose 1 - Start Server in the menu it will start creating the Podman Images and populating them with all the required dependencies, this will take awhile, but you should see some connection settings when everything is done the blue globe icon will be your server IP, as well as your Database Connection IP

7. you will need to close, and re-open the ./spp-manage.sh this won't turn off your server, now goto 3 - Server Settings > 2 - Change Server IP If your on tailscale it will ask you if you want use that IP, or use a custom one if you choose cutom change it to your Server IPv4 found on the main menu, or at the previous server start screen as that's your connection IPv4

8. once that is done go back to your terminal, and run ./spp-manage.sh restart, and that will restart your server with those IPv4 Addresses

9. then just open your config.wtf in your WoW 7.3.5 client, and change the portal entry from 127.0.0.1 to your IPv4, and your Ready to Go
