Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.7.2 to 0.7

In order for OpenSimulator to be accessible in the hypergrid, you must use an externally visible IP address or domain name. You also may need to set up port forwarding for all ports (TCP and UDP) that OpenSimulator and the regions use. Typically, these are port 8002 for an installation running in grid mode and port 9000 for standalones. Regions typically use ports starting at 9000. For more information, see Network Settings.

Standalone

The configuration for hypergrid is activated in section [Architecture] in file OpenSim.ini. Ensure that the line for Include-HGStandalone is the only one that is uncommented in this section:

[Architecture]
    ;Include-Standalone    = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
    Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
    ;Include-Grid         = "config-include/Grid.ini"
    ;Include-HGGrid       = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
    ;Include-SimianGrid   = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"

In StandaloneCommon.ini the network addresses in the following sections must be changed to your external network address:

[HGInventoryService]
    ProfileServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000/profiles"
 
[HGAssetService]
    ProfileServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000/profiles"
 
[HGInventoryAccessModule]
    ProfileServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000/profiles"
    Gatekeeper = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
 
[GridService]
    Gatekeeper = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
 
[Messaging]
    Gatekeeper = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
 
[LoginService]
    ; ... (other settings in this section) ...
    GatekeeperURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
 
    SRV_HomeURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
    SRV_InventoryServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
    SRV_AssetServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
    SRV_ProfileServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
    SRV_FriendsServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
    SRV_IMServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
 
[GatekeeperService]
    ; ... (other settings in this section) ...
    ExternalName = "http://example.com:9000"

If you want to use a different port with these addresses, then you must adjust the HTTP listener port in section [Network] in OpenSim.ini, too:

[Network]
    ; ... (other settings in this section) ...
    http_listener_port = 9000

As a last step, the regions must be configured according to the previous changes. See #Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone.

Grid

To enable hypergrid for a grid, both the Robust server and the region servers (simulators) must be configured appropriately.

Simulator

The region servers (simulators) that connect to the Robust server read their configuration from file OpenSim.ini. To activate hypergrid for them, the line for Include-HGGrid in section [Architecture] must be uncommented:

[Architecture]
    ;Include-Standalone    = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
    ;Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
    ;Include-Grid         = "config-include/Grid.ini"
    Include-HGGrid       = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
    ;Include-SimianGrid   = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"

In GridCommon.ini the network addresses in the following sections must be changed to your external network address:

[GridService]
    ; === HG ONLY === 
    ;; Change this to the address of your Gatekeeper service
    ;; (usually bundled with the rest of the services in one 
    ;; Robust server in port 8002, but not always)
    Gatekeeper="http://mygridserver.com:8002"
 
[Messaging]
    ; === HG ONLY === 
    ;; Change this to the address of your Gatekeeper service
    ;; (usually bundled with the rest of the services in one 
    ;; Robust server in port 8002, but not always)
    Gatekeeper = "http://mygridserver.com:8002"
 
[HGInventoryAccessModule]
    ;
    ; === HG ONLY ===
    ; Change this to your server
    ; accessible from other grids
    ;
    ProfileServerURI = "http://mygridserver.com:8002/user"
    Gatekeeper = "http://mygridserver.com:8002"
 
[UserAgentService]
    ;
    ; === HG ONLY ===
    ; Change this to your user agent server (HG robust)
    ;
    UserAgentServerURI = "http://mygridserver.com:8002"

Robust Server

The Robust server is started with configuration file Robust.HG.ini instead of Robust.ini. If this file does not yet exist in your installation, create it by making a copy of Robust.HG.ini.example. Make the changes appropriate for your environment (e.g. adjust the database connection string). For hypergrid, the following settings are relevant:

[LoginService]
    GatekeeperURI = "http://127.0.0.1:8002"
 
    SRV_HomeURI = "http://127.0.0.1:8002"
    SRV_InventoryServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:8002"
    SRV_AssetServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:8002"
    SRV_ProfileServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:8002/user"
    SRV_FriendsServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:8002"
    SRV_IMServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:8002"
 
[GatekeeperService]
    ; ... (other settings in this section) ...
    ExternalName = "http://127.0.0.1:8002"
 
[HGInventoryService]
    ProfileServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:8002/user"
 
; * The interface that local users get when they are in other grids.
; * This restricts the access that the rest of the world has to
; * the assets of this world.
; *
[HGAssetService]
    ProfileServerURI = "http://127.0.0.1:8002/user"

If you want to change the port(s) used with these addresses, you will also need to adjust the ports in parameter 'ServiceConnectors' in section [Startup] and probably the port configured in section [Network] as well.

After these adjustments, the Robust server can be started. On Windows/.NET:

Robust -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

Or, with Mono (e.g. on Linux or OSX):

mono Robust.exe -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone

Finally, all your regions must use the same external address that is set for GatekeeperService, for example:

[Region One]
    ; ... (other settings in this section) ...
    ExternalHostName = "example.com"

For the ports which are used by your regions, TCP and UDP requests must be forwarded through any firewall that is securing your network.
