HLP-Nebula is a FreeSpace 2 mod repository manager.

This project has two main goals :

• Provide a simple site where modders can upload their files.
• Make mod download and installation easier for players.

HLP-Nebula is mostly written in PHP, as a Symfony2 framework bundle.

To run HLP-Nebula, the first thing you need is a working LAMP environment. On Ubuntu, use command :

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql php5-gd

1. If you have not done it yet, download the latest version of HLP-Nebula.

2. Place the root folder inside your web server's document root.

3. Rename app/config/parameters.yml.dist to app/config/parameters.yml

4. Edit app/config/parameters.yml modify it according to your system.

5. Install Composer

6. Install the dependencies:

   composer install

7. Give the web server write access to app/cache, app/logs and web/uploads:

   sudo chown www-data -R app/cache app/logs web/uploads

8. Fill the database with the necessary tables:

   php app/console doctrine:schema:create

Now you can access the Nebula through the web/app.php file. If you have Apache and mod_rewrite enabled, you should be able to access the web/ folder directly.

1. Create the admin user with:

   php app/console fos:user:create <username> --super-admin

2. Now you can login and add your mods.

The generated JSON data is explained in a post on HLP. That post also contains a list of compatible clients at the bottom.

HLP-Nebula is in active development. It is still missing a lot of features. The official development thread is found on Hard Light Productions, a FreeSpace 2 community.
