Ore-Get

This is a discussion topic for the Ore project, Ore-Get. View the full project on Ore for downloads and more information.

A apt-get inspired Plugin management tool

How it works

This plugin connects to the Ore API in order to fetch information about
available plugins. Since Java can’t remove loaded jar-files (on Windows) or load plugins
while the server is running, ore-get will create a shell-script based on
your server OS that can be executed by your server’s watchdog, after the
server terminated. (This script will only be created if the server did not
crash).

On Windows

The script is called oreget_postserver.bat. If your watchdog is a batch
script you can add it like this:

rem start server
java -jar sponge-current-version.jar
rem execute oreget post script
if EXIST oreget_postserver.bat oreget_postserver.bat

On Linux/Unix

The script is called oreget_postserver.sh. If your watchdog is a
bash-script you can add it like this:

# start server
java -jar sponge-current-version.jar
# execute oreget post script
test -e oreget_postserver.sh && /bin/bash oreget_postserver.sh

Commands

Prefix is always /ore-get, /oreget or /ore, so a full command looks
something like this: /ore-get search huskycrates
The base-command requires the permission oreget.command.base

search QUERY - Permission oreget.command.search
search for QUERY in the Ore repository, like you would on the Website
show PLUGINID - Permission oreget.command.show
show detailed information about this plugin
install --only-upgrade PLUGINID... - Permission oreget.command.install
install or upgrade one or more plugins by id. if you specify the flag
--only-upgrade no new plugins will be installed
upgrade - Permission oreget.command.upgrade
install new versions for all plugins and update dependencies
full-upgrade - Permission oreget.command.fullupgrade
like upgrade, but removed dependencies that are no longer needed.
remove PLUGINID... - Permission oreget.command.remove
mark or unmark the plugin(s) for removal
autoremove - Permission oreget.command.autoremove
scan for dependency plugins that are no longer required and mark them for
removal
mark PLUGINID - Permission oreget.command.mark
mark this plugin as dependency, this plugin can now be auto-removed
unmark PLUGINID - Permission oreget.command.mark
mark this plugin as manually installed, auto-remove won’t touch this plugin
confirm - Permission oreget.command.confirm
confirm plugin installation/upgrade
reject/deny/cancel - Permission oreget.command.confirm
cancel the plugin installation/upgrade

Future plans

[ ] Command fix-deps to automatically fetch missing dependencies for unloaded plugins
[ ] Command hold, to prevent updates to a specific plugins
[ ] Command forbid-version, to prever update to a specific version
[ ] Keep up-to-date with Ore API v2
[ ] Support for plugin=version syntax when installing

External Connections

The connection to Ore is obviously required.
No other connections, that’s all.
