I am glad to see this project full of life.
I am interested to learn the major differences between the original MaNGOS projects and the many clones out there.
tl;dr tried other cores, now gonna try the original thanks;
I have run a small personal linux based CMaNGOS vanilla server for some co-workers in the past (2016-2017). At the time of spinning that server up, I was not even aware of other cores. Took the server down after interest from co-workers dried up. Fast forward to recent weeks, and I have caught the bug again. I tried recovering my old EC2 instance, but the AMI was out of date. So I built a new server based on the other project again, however ran into issues when trying to setup a web interface. It seems cmangos realmd account table and correspond authentication is now using SRP6 instead of SHA1 hashes, which breaks all the nice webapps built around ease of use. I modified a couple projects, published them to my github. My projects attempted to shoe-horn SRP6 into a simple PHP registration app via a probably very insecure system() call. I thought I had it working, but my Go app's generation of SPR6 s & v must be off, cause the generated accounts would never auth on the client.
So I am exploring other cores and found MaNGOS. Will be following `linux/getmangos.sh` over the weekend to spinup a MaNGOS Zero instance and go from there. Looking forward to learning more.
Cheers,
Scott
