Note

Along with the ETS2LA C# rewrite this backend will be rewritten. The code quality is fine but there's still a lot of improvement to do. We thought a full rewrite to add new features would work better than trying to wrestle the current version to a state we're happy with.

ETS2LA Backend server code.

Installation

add a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

CLIENT_ID=your_discord_client_id
CLIENT_SECRET=your_discord_client_secret
ENCRYPTION_KEY=enctyption_key_for_tokens
CRASH_WEBHOOK=discord_webhook_url_for_crash_reports
FEEDBACK_WEBHOOK=discord_webhook_url_for_feedback
KOFI_WEBHOOK=discord_webhook_url_for_kofi_notifications
KOFI_SECRET=kofi_secret_for_donations

Then run the following commands:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

Alternatively use docker:

docker compose up

Explanation

• CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET are the credentials for a Discord application.
• ENCRYPTION_KEY is a key used to encrypt and decrypt the user's Discord ID and various other sensitive data.
• CRASH_WEBHOOK, FEEDBACK_WEBHOOK and KOFI_WEBHOOK are for Discord notifications.
• KOFI_SECRET is to ensure we're receiving the correct Kofi user's notifications.

Note that the webhooks are optional, you don't have to assign a value to them (ensure they are present in the file though).
