DIY website hosting

Project Summary: ParadoxResearch.net is a dynamic platform that showcases my full-stack development expertise. At its core lies a custom PHP content management system (crmbl CMS) I built, which seamlessly handles hosting multiple domains (explore the examples!). This project not only demonstrates my back-end development skills but also serves as a springboard for future educational resources. The site will eventually offer tutorials on do-it-yourself home server and website hosting, reflecting the very functionality it exemplifies – running entirely on a home-based cluster of load-balanced servers.

Command-Line Interface (CLI)

Project Summary: crmbl CMS is a dynamic, PHP-based content management system designed for scalability and multi-domain hosting. Built with a modular architecture, crmbl allows individual sites to define and manage their own plugins, modules, and themes, while maintaining separate data for each. This empowers users with fine-grained control and enables them to create a customized web experience that scales seamlessly alongside their needs.

Project Scope:

  • Core Functionality: Developed in PHP, providing a robust foundation for content management.
  • Multi-Domain Hosting: A single crmbl instance efficiently hosts and manages multiple websites.
  • Modular Architecture: Enables individual sites to define and manage their own plugins (modules), themes, and custom media.
  • Data Separation: Ensures each website maintains its own data for security and organization.
  • API Support: Handles CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations through individual GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests, facilitating interaction with crmbl as a RESTful API (Still under development).
  • Deployment Management: Built-in functionality to package and deploy entire websites with themes, modules, and data across crmbl instances.
  • Staging and Publishing: Streamlined workflow for local development and server publishing using a BASH script (future plans include a front-end dashboard).
  • Theming System:: Granular control over theme design, including custom HTML for specific sections (head, meta, link, body, script) with dynamic capabilities.

Project Summary: PBN-Bot is an automation project, refactored into a streamlined, JavaScript-only codebase, that functions as a controllable character within the 2D web-based multiplayer game, Paintball-Net. Originally a larger project utilizing Python and Selenium, this new version is built entirely on Node.js and uses the Puppeteer library for browser automation and interaction.

Project Scope:

Press arrow to show/hide project scope
  • Node.js: The bot's core logic and automation capabilities are now built entirely on a Node.js foundation.
  • Puppeteer: Utilizes Puppeteer to launch and control a web browser, automating user interactions like logging in, sending commands, and navigating the game's front end.
  • Real-time Event Monitoring: Employs JavaScript to intercept and parse WebSocket communications directly from the game server. This allows for real-time monitoring of in-game events, including various chat message types and player status updates.
  • Communicate with Players: The bot has configurable abilities for in-game interaction. It can display chats, tells, whispers, and other message types in the console and can be directed to send messages to the game. It also features an automated reply system for /tell commands.
  • Monitor game servers: PBN-Bot actively tracks player logins and logouts across all game servers by periodically sending the rwho command. These events can be reported to the local console, sent as messages to the in-game chat, and pushed to a Discord server via webhook.
  • Track player activity: The bot tracks active player sessions, noting when users log in. It can be configured to send a notification to Discord when a player has remained online for a specific duration.
