Building a binary

Uses PyInstaller.

Linux/macOS:

pyinstaller --onefile --name luminesk \
  --add-data "luminesk/gui/templates:luminesk/gui/templates" \
  --add-data "luminesk/gui/static:luminesk/gui/static" \
  --add-data "luminesk/tui/styles:luminesk/tui/styles" \
  luminesk/__main__.py

Windows:

pyinstaller --onefile --name luminesk ^
  --add-data "luminesk\\gui\\templates;luminesk\\gui\\templates" ^
  --add-data "luminesk\\gui\\static;luminesk\\gui\\static" ^
  --add-data "luminesk\\tui\\styles;luminesk\\tui\\styles" ^
  luminesk/__main__.py

---

Quick Start

Show help:

nesk --help

Check environment and sources:

nesk doctor

Create a server:

nesk create -n "My Server" -d ./servers/my -c nukkit -t my_server
# Parameters are optional — Wizard Setup will start if omitted

Start a server:

nesk start -t my_server
# or run inside the server directory

Stop a server:

nesk stop -t my_server
# or run inside the server directory

List servers:

nesk list

Working with tmux

LumiNESK uses tmux to manage server consoles in TUI/GUI mode.

Attach to a console:

tmux attach-session -t luminesk-<server-tag>

---

Roadmap

Planned features:

• Plugin manager and DevTools-like system (similar to PMMP)
• Remote server management (yes, SSH exists, but still)
• Docker support
• Automatic and manual backups
• Cluster mode implementation
• One-line curl install script (for those who don’t want Python/pip or manual binary downloads)
• ...and maybe more
