[SERVICE] Custom public & private Pathfinder instances - by EvePlanets.App

Given the recent shake ups in both public and private hosting of mapping software, I decided to take my 30+ years of bending servers and systems to my will and see if I could get my favorite one running the way I would prefer…

https://pathfinder.eveplanets.app/ - Public Pathfinder by EvePlanets.App

(Private Instances now available, see bottom of this post)

Tech changes below, but let’s focus on a couple of front-end updates…

Thera routing
I’m told this is broken in some Pathfinder builds? Well, this was my view from Jita earlier today.

WebSocket support
An existing experimental add-on for Pathfinder that I have up and running. Valuable when you have multiple pilots working in the same corp or alliance map at the same time.

PRIVATE INSTANCES

Based on positive feedback, I’m now offering private Pathfinder instances that include these updates. 3 Billion ISK per month. For the month of November 2024, I’m offering an onboarding special. Please evemail for details!

Some of the tech changes I made. Not sure how this compares with other Pathfinder instances, except that these are not things the core package expects:

  • Running on PHP 8.3 and nginx
  • Updated several underlying modules for PHP 8.3 support
  • Also corrected errors in some underlying modules
  • WebSocket support for improved performance with active Corps and Alliances
  • Web server, cache, and database are all distinct servers allowing scale as needed
  • Web server fully restarts during Eve downtime for best performance

Private instances enjoy all of these features as well.
