Thank you for the quick reply. I'll try it out and let you know!Sure if you can manage the entire setup process for Linux. As the title states it's made for IIS so a lot of the steps, you'd have to figure out yourself if you're using something else than that

There is a script for Linux users which basically sets up the hotel for you, it’s released on here if you have a look for it

when you say import do you mean click file in top left of dbeaver and import, or do you mean right click on my 'hotel' in databases and use import data. or do you mean tools > restore database like we did earlier in the tutorial ?
im assuming its right click on hotel and import data but i've got this far and don't want to mess it up now D:

i did edit it before and put in the password and the user 'root' but maybe something else was wrong. Im just gonna reinstall my vps and start over again because the config seems right as far as i can tellMake sure you edit the "config.ini" inside the emulator folder

I'm a bit confused because you say to use command prompt and enter the followingThis is part 3, which is the last part of the: How to set up a retro (IIS) series - In this part, we will be setting up:
Updates:
This is a list of what has been updated overtime.
2nd of January 2022 - The series has been updated to use the nitro v1.2 structure, which is the most recent at the time (This also fixes the configuration failed errors etc) that some people have had issues with
What will we cover in part 3:
In the part 3 which is the last and final part of the series, we will be setting up:
Java
Arcturus Morningstar emulator
Nitro client v1.2 (Latest as of 2nd of January 2022)
Arcturus Morningstar Emulator set up:
Before we can enter our hotel, we'll need to set up our emulator and to do that, the first thing we need to do is to install Java.
To install Java all you have to do is to download it -You must be registered for see links
Once Java have been downloaded, go through the setup process, by leaving everything to their default preset (Simply click "Install" and let Java install itself).
When Java has been installed, it should look like the image below:

Set up the Arcturus MS Emulator:
Before we download the Arcturus MS Emulator, we will need to install WinRAR, as the emulator will come pre-packed as a .rar file.
To install WinRar all you have to do is to -You must be registered for see links.
Once WinRar has been installed & set up, you can go ahead and download the Arcturus Morningstar emulator -You must be registered for see links.
When you're at the download page for the emulator, find the part where it says "You must be registered for see links" and click on the "You must be registered for see links" (or you can click directly on it from this thread).
The emulator will then download, once it has been downloaded, open up the .rar file and extract the "3-0-0-stable" to the desktop of your server - Here's a GIF of how to do that:You must be registered for see links
Once the "3-0-0-stable" folder has been placed on your desktop, open it up and open the "config.ini" file in your preferred editor.
You will then have to edit the database credentials so that they match the ones you made when setting up MariaDB - If you don't remember your credentials, simply open the .env file located in the root folder for Cosmic CMS and take them from there. Once you have filled in the correct credentials, you can safely close the config.ini file again.
Import the missing .SQL's & Queries:
For our emulator to function properly, we'll need to import the "3_0_BETA_1 to 3_0_0-Stable" SQL file - It's very important that you don't import the "arcturus_3.0.0-stable_base_database" SQL file.
Once you have imported the "3_0_BETA_1 to 3_0_0-Stable" SQL file, you'll have to run the queries provided below, which will add the remaining missing database things.
If you're unsure on how to run the queries below, you can watch a GIF of how to do it -You must be registered for see links
Head toYou must be registered for see linksand copy all the code.
Once the remaining queries have been executed, head to the list of all your database tables, single click on the "youtube_playlists" and then right-click on the "youtube_playlists", hover "tools" and then click on "truncate", then click on "truncate table parameters" and then "proceed". Once the "youtube_playlists" table has been truncated, head back to your desktop on your VPS and open the "3-0-0-stable" folder and click on the "run" file. Your emulator should now start and run as supposed.
Here's a GIF of the whole process:You must be registered for see links
There you go! Your emulator now runs smoothly, just like it should. The next step will be to compile & set up the nitro client
How to set up the nitro client:
Finally! We're at the part where we will not only compile the nitro client but also set it all up so that we can actually have fun and play on our newly setup hotelExciting right? Let's get going!
Step one:
The first step on our journey of setting up the nitro client is to clone some of the default assets, the doesn't come with the pack we converted earlier.
Clone the missing default assets:
We'll need to clone some of the missing default assets for nitro, in order to make nitro function properly, and to do that, open your Command Prompt and enter the following:
Code:cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-assets && git clone https://git.krews.org/nitro/default-assets.git
The default assets will then be cloned into the "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-assets\default-assets" folder - which is almost correct. To maintain a clean folder structure, move all the files from the "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-assets\default-assets" into "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-assets" - If you're unsure on what to do, please watch the GIF of the entire process below.
Here's a GIF of the entire cloning process for the default assets -You must be registered for see links
Step 2 - setup the nitro client:
In step 2, we will focus on cloning, compiling, and setting up the nitro client.
Clone the nitro client:
To clone the nitro client, all you have to do is open your Command Prompt and write the following:
Code:cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5 && git clone https://git.krews.org/nitro/nitro-client.git
Once the nitro client has been cloned, you should see a folder named "nitro-client" if you head to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-client".
Inside of the "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-client" folder, navigate into the "src" folder and rename the "renderer-config.json.example" and "ui-config.json.example" to:
"renderer-config.json"
"ui-config.json"
Once the two config files have been renamed, open the "renderer-config.json" and the "ui-config.json" in your preferred editor and link everything correctly - Don't worry if you have been following the series from step one, you can simply replace your entire renderer-config.json with the one below:
If you have been following this series 1:1, you can simply head over toYou must be registered for see linksand click on the green button saying "code" and then click "Download ZIP".
Once you have downloaded the ZIP file containing the two fixed nitro configuration files, simply copy both files into your "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-client\src" folder.
Once you have copied both files into your "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-client\src" folder, open the "ui-config.json" and replace "YOUR-DOMAIN" with your domain name, once done click save.
Next up rename the ".env.example" to ".env" inside your "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-client" folder and change the variables inside of it to match your structure - If you have been following the tutorial 1:1 you can simply copy the code below and replace your entire .env code with it (Don't forget to replace "YOUR-DOMAIN" with your own domain.
Code:NG_APP_CONFIG_URLS=renderer-config.json,ui-config.json NG_APP_SOCKET_URL=wss://nitro.YOUR-DOMAIN:2096 NG_APP_ASSET_URL=https://YOUR-DOMAIN/client/html5/nitro-assets NG_APP_IMAGE_LIBRARY_URL=https://YOUR-DOMAIN/client/flash/c_images/ NG_APP_HOF_FURNI_URL=https://YOUR-DOMAIN/client/flash/dcr/hof_furni NG_APP_URL_PREFIX=https://YOUR-DOMAIN/client/html5/nitro-client/dist
Compile the nitro client:
Next up open your Command Prompt and navigation into the nitro-client folder by entering:
Code:cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\public\client\html5\nitro-client
When you're inside of the nitro-client folder run the following command:
once yarn has been installed, install angular CLI globally by entering the following command:Code:npm i yarn -g
Once yarn & the Angular CLI has been installed, run the following command:Code:yarn global add @angular/cli
this will install all the necessary packages for the nitro client - This might take a while to be patient.Code:yarn install
You must be registered for see images attach
Once all the packages have been installed for the nitro client, we'll have to compile it and to do just that, simply run the following command:
The nitro client will then be compiled, and the properties set in the .env file will then be injected into the index.html file, linking the files correctly.Code:yarn build-prod
Once the nitro client has been compiled, it should look something like the image below:
You must be registered for see images attach
Add the Nitro WebSocket plugin:
In order for the emulator to accept incoming WebSocket requests, that nitro will make use of, we'll need to add the "NitroWebsockets-3.1" plugin to our emulator, and to do that, head toYou must be registered for see linksand click on the "NitroWebsockets-3.1.jar" to download the plugin.
Once the plugin has been downloaded, open your "3-0-0-stable" folder on your VPS desktop, open the "plugins" folder and place the "NitroWebsockets-3.1.jar" inside of it.
Next head back to the "3-0-0-stable" folder and click on the "run" file, once your emulator has started successfully, it should look like the image below:
You must be registered for see images attach
Once the emulator has booted fully up, close it by writing "stop" and then press enter inside of the emulator.
Here's a GIF of the entire process:You must be registered for see links.
Next up open your emulator_settings table inside of DBeaver and keep scrolling until you find the "websockets.whitelist" (it should be at the bottom if you keep scrolling).
Once you have found the "websockets.whitelist" apply the following to the "value" column: "*.YOUR-DOMAIN-WITHOUT-HTTPS://" - Where "YOUR-DOMAIN-WITHOUT-HTTPS://" should be your domain name.
Next up find the "ws.nitro.ip.header" (which should be located 3 lines further down).
Once you have found the "ws.nitro.ip.header" add "CF-connecting-ip" in the value column and press "save".
If done correctly, it should look like the image below:
You must be registered for see images attach
Setup the Cloudflare DNS & Rules
In order for nitro to accept our connections through the WebSockets, we'll need to do 2 things within our Cloudflare dashboard.
The first thing will be to add a DNS record and the second is to make a page rule, disabling SSL for our nitro WebSocket.
Add the DNS rule:
To add the necessary DNS rule, navigate yourself to theYou must be registered for see linksand click on the domain, that you are using for your hotel. Once you have clicked on your domain navigate to the DNS page by clicking "DNS" in the sidebar on Cloudflare.
Next up click on the blue button saying "Add record" - A new row should be added just below and inside the "Name" field write "nitro" for the "IPv4" field, write your server IP and click "Save".
If done correctly it should look like the image below:
You must be registered for see images attach
Create a Cloudflare page rule:
We're soon at the end of our journey, before we will be able to connect to our newly setup hotel, will be to create a page rule, disabling SSL for our nitro subdomain, and luckily for us, Cloudflare makes this extremely easy. All we have to do is find "Rules" in the side navigation of ourYou must be registered for see linksand click on it. Once you have clicked on the "Rules" navigation link, you should see a page, with a blue button saying "Create Page Rule". Click on the "Create Page Rule", which will then take you to the following page (see the image below):

If that is the case, simply fill out the fields, so that they look like the image below:
You must be registered for see images attach
Once you have filled out the fields, like the image above, click on "Save and Deploy"

We're soon done - Allow port 2096:
Our second last step of this amazing journey is to enable port 2096 to accept TCP connections.
To enable port 2096, simply search for "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security" in your windows search menu and click on it, once you have opened the "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security" application, click on "Inbound Rules" on the left and then "New Rule..." on the right, a new popup should now appear.
Once you see the popup, select "Port" and click "Next" on the next page, leave everything as it is and type "2096" in the text field next to "Specific local port" and click "Next" until you you're able to give the rule a name and enter any name of your choice - Mine will be "nitro" and then click on "Finish".
Here's a GIF of how to create the firewall rule:You must be registered for see links
The second last step - Link cosmic to our client:
Our very last step is to link cosmic to our nitro index file, and all you have to do, to achieve this is, navigate to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cosmic\src\App" and open the "Config" file in your preferred editor. Once you have opened the "Config" go to line 26 and replace the entire line with
Code:"nitro_path" => "https://YOUR-DOMAIN/client/html5/nitro-client/dist"
* Don't forget to change "YOUR-DOMAIN" to your real domain name.
Add the nitro MIME type:
We can actually already connect to our client, but if we did so before adding the nitro MIME type, we won't be able to see any avatars nor furniture, as IIS would block any .nitro file extensions.
To add the .nitro mime type, all we have to do is open up our "Internet Information Services" application, click on "VMIxxxx", then double click on the "MIME Types" module:
You must be registered for see images attach
Once you have double-clicked on the "MIME Types" module, you should be able to click "Add..." in the right top corner. when "Add..." has been clicked, a new popup should appear asking for a "Filename extension:" and a "MIME type:".
In the "File name extension:" field add ".nitro" and inside the "MIME type:" field add: "application/octet-stream" and click "OK".
That's it! You can now head to your newly setup retro and start playing
You have finally made it:
If you have been following along and done everything correctly, you should now be able to get on the client, and have tons of fun!
