running

# need elixir + cargo
git clone https://github.com/pikdum/thistle_tea.git
cd thistle_tea
mix deps.get
mix deps.compile

# need docker + expect + no running mysql/mariadb
./scripts/generate-mangos0-db.sh
# or, just download it
# wget https://pomf2.lain.la/f/jxcam7ob.sqlite -O ./db/mangos0.sqlite

# need a vanilla wow client, this is directory with WoW.exe
# this is only for generating dbc.sqlite + maps
# also, change server to localhost in realmlist.wtf
export WOW_DIR="/path/to/vanilla/client"

# need docker
./scripts/generate-dbc-db.sh

# this takes a very long time
# probably 30+ minutes
mix build_maps

iex -S mix
# default logins are in application.ex
# test:test

required databases

• mangos0.sqlite ./scripts/generate-mangos0-db.sh
  • can generate or download
• dbc.sqlite ./scripts/generate-dbc-db.sh
  • need to generate from wow client, since this can't be distributed
