Our in-browser server map should now experience almost no downtime due to dynamic IP changes.
Since we host the renders of the freebuild world on another server because of otherwise high storage cost (over 250 GB of space is needed), the map would go offline every couple of weeks when the server’s IP changed until I (Moresteck) manually updated the IP on our main VPS. This is no more, as I have made it so that the IP is automatically (and safely) updated upon change without requiring any action from me. Meaning you don’t get to call me lazy anymore
Next up is to make the server automatically pull chunks updated in the last hour to render them. The more frequent the renders, the less time they take, and the more up-to-date the online map is.
