1. Database Setup
If you’re hosting on a Pterodactyl panel:
Go to your bot’s panel.
Navigate to Databases → Create New Database.
After it’s created, copy the JDBC Connection String.
Example provided:
jdbc:mysql://host:3306/database?user=username&password=password
Important: Remove the jdbc: prefix.
Modified example:
mysql://username:password@host:3306/database
2. Environment Variables
Step 1: Rename Example File
Rename .env.example → .env
Step 2: Required Variables
Inside .env (or .env.local for local dev), add:
# Database
DATABASE_URL="mysql://username:password@host:3306/database"
# Authentication
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your_generated_secret"
NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000"
# API Keys
API_KEY="your_generated_api_key"
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY="your_generated_api_key"
# Steam API
STEAM_API_KEY="your_steam_api_key"
Step 3: Generate Keys
Run this twice in your terminal:
node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"
First value → NEXTAUTH_SECRET
Second value → both API_KEY and NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY
Save your API key separately you’ll need it for your Rust plugin.
Step 4: Steam API Key
Go to Steam Web API Key.
Enter your domain (localhost:3000 for dev).
Copy your API key → STEAM_API_KEY.
3. Database Initialization
Run the following in your project root:
npx prisma generate npx prisma db push node prisma/seed.js
This sets up schema, tables, and default data.
4. Add Your First Admin
Method 1: Prisma Studio (Recommended)
Get your SteamID64 from steamid.io.
Open Prisma Studio:
npx prisma studio
In Admins table → Add:
steamId: your SteamID64
displayName: your display name
ownerId: same as SteamID64
In AdminPermissions table → Add:
adminSteamId: your SteamID64
permissionId: the ID for owner_access
5. Hosting (Vercel)
Go to Vercel → Import Git Repository.
Select your repo → Import.
Under Build & Output Settings → toggle Build Command → set to:
prisma generate && next build
Add your Environment Variables in Vercel dashboard (same as .env). <- do this before you Deploy.
Now Deploy
6. Rust Plugin Setup (Stats.cs)
Copy Stats.cs to your server’s oxide/plugins/ or carbon/plugins folder.
Edit oxide/config/Stats.json:
{
"Web API URL": "https://yourdomain.com",
"Web API Key": "your_api_key_from_env_file",
"Server ID": "your_server_id",
"Batch Interval": 5.0
}
Make sure Web API Key matches the one in your .env.
7. Permissions Reference
Available permissions:
owner_access – full access
view_stats – view player data
manage_admins – manage admins
manage_permissions – manage permissions
view_admin_panel – access admin panel
edit_player_stats – modify stats
delete_player_stats – delete stats
server_management – manage servers
manage_themes – manage themes
8. Troubleshooting
- Connection errors: ensure you removed jdbc: from DB URL.
- No admin access: add your SteamID manually in Prisma Studio.
-
Schema mismatch: run
npx prisma db push. - No Rust data: verify API URL (don’t include /api/stats) and API Key match.
