Only the database password is truly mandatory to get started, but
config.example.json was 267 lines with 90+ options. Newcomers faced a
wall of settings with no indication of what matters.
Add registerDefaults() with all sane defaults via Viper so a minimal
config (just DB credentials) produces a fully working server. Gameplay
multipliers default to 1.0 instead of Go's zero value 0.0, which
previously zeroed out all quest rewards for minimal configs. Uses
dot-notation defaults for GameplayOptions/DebugOptions so users can
override individual fields without losing other defaults.
- Shrink config.example.json from 267 to 10 lines
- Rename full original to config.reference.json as documentation
- Simplify wizard buildDefaultConfig() from ~220 to ~12 lines
- Fix latent bug: SaveDumps default used wrong key DevModeOptions
- Add tests: minimal config, backward compat, single-field override
- Update release workflow, README, CONTRIBUTING, docker/README
Replace 4 independent schema management code paths (Docker shell
script, setup wizard pg_restore, test helpers, manual psql) with a
single migration runner embedded in the server binary.
The new server/migrations/ package uses Go embed to bundle all SQL
schemas. On startup, Migrate() creates a schema_version tracking
table, detects existing databases (auto-marks baseline as applied),
and runs pending migrations in transactions.
Key changes:
- Consolidated init.sql + 9.2-update + 33 patches into 0001_init.sql
- Setup wizard simplified to single "Apply schema" checkbox
- Test helpers use migrations.Migrate() instead of pg_restore
- Docker no longer needs schema volume mounts or init script
- Seed data (shops, events, gacha) embedded and applied via API
- Future migrations just add 0002_*.sql files — no manual steps
When config.json is missing, Erupe now launches a temporary HTTP server
on port 8080 serving a guided setup wizard instead of exiting with a
cryptic error. The wizard walks users through database connection,
schema initialization (pg_restore + SQL migrations), and server settings,
then writes config.json and continues normal startup without restart.
