We have the database created with our server data content in it. The next step is to retrieve the DOL Server to be launched.

On Windows10 / MacOS / Linux

Go to the DOL github repo where you should find a release section :

Click on the latest release available and download the "DOLServer_Release.zip" :

Extract this archive file in a dedicated directory for your DOL server.

Old release for mono

Click on the latest release available and download the "DOLServer_net45_Debug.zip" :

Release for NAS Synology

As a prerequisite, you will need :

MariaDB installed (standard package available)
Dotnet 8 installed (package available from https://synocommunity.com/packages)
At least 4 Gb of memory on your NAS
DSM 7

To install Dawn-of-Light package, add the URL https://digitalbox.go.zd.fr/ in the packages source preferences under DSM7.

If your model of NAS is braswell based, you should see the package available in the community tab :

Click on the package and the "Install" button.

Then you should see a warning message to confirm.

Once done, you need to indicate in the below screen your MariaDB user (root is default), password, port (3306 is default) and your NAS local IP address :

The next screen is about the database content feeding for the game content (monsters, classes, spells, zones...) : a database named "dol" will be created for that.

Tick the first option to retrieve the data from the community project Eve of Darkness

Please note that if you uninstall the package and install it again, you just need to tick the second option. Indeed the dol database is not deleted when the package is uninstalled.

Confirm the next screen to install and launch the server.

The server will take a few minutes to be installed (database feeding) and a few minutes to be launched completely.

You can check that the server is really started by checking the logs :

 cd /var/packages/dol/var 
 cat dol.log | grep "Server is now open"

If it's not the case, you can launch the below command :

  tail -f dol.log

And check to have the message indicating the server is waiting for connections :

The server should take around 1.2 Gb of memory :

memory

A last note : if you need to uninstall completely DOL on your NAS, you will need to remove manually the dol database :

  mysql -u root -p

Then :

 drop database dol;
