C++ WebAPI for factorio server management.

Factorio Frame Host

What is this?

This will be a C++ restfull web api capable of running Factorio in a sub-process. This should be able to receive commands via web sockets to do anything from manage mods, to starting/stoping server, to managing admins, etc.

Building

Requirements

1. A modern C++ compiler.
2. Python 3.6 or newer.

Python virtualenv is highly recommended to localize packages per-project. Installation is simple:

python -m pip install virtualenv

Then in your project directory run:

virtualenv env

Run the 'activate' script matching your OS/terminal to activate the environment under 'env/Scripts' and run:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Add the conan repository:

conan remote add bincrafters https://api.bintray.com/conan/bincrafters/public-conan

Build

You can run either of the build scripts provided, but often you need custom arguments. We use conan so you might benefit from exploring their documentation.

1. mkdir build && cd build
2. conan install ..\src\ --build missing -s build_type=Debug
3. cmake ../src/
4. cmake --build .
