Hangar - Paper's Plugin Repository

This is the repository for Hangar, a plugin repository used for Paper, Velocity, and Waterfall plugins and similar software.

Hangar is loosely based off of Ore, created by the Sponge project, but rebuilt from the ground up using the Spring Boot Framework in Java for the backend and Nuxt (with UnoCSS) for the frontend. We would like to thank all Ore contributors. Without them, this project would never have been possible.

On top of our production instance at https://hangar.papermc.io/, we have a staging instance for testing purposes: https://hangar.papermc.dev/.

Contributing

The project consists of 3 main parts

• Frontend (Vue.js under Nuxt with UnoCSS)
• Backend (Spring Boot)
• Database (PostgreSQL)

Development Setup

Fork the project and pull it in your IDE.

Prerequisites

• Docker is required in order to run the PostgreSQL database and the dummy email server
• Java 21 or higher
• pnpm
• mvn
• git
• we strongly recommend using Intellij IDEA (Ultimate) as your IDE

Setting up

To get the project running locally, you need to follow a few steps:

1. Get the dummy database, storage and email server up and running.
   Using Intellij: Run the docker run config (or click the green arrow in the gutter on this line)
   Manually: Move to the docker folder cd docker then run docker-compose -f dev.yml up -d (-d as an optional parameter to run the containers in the background).
2. Start the backend.
   Using Intellij Ultimate: Run the backend run config (or click the green arrow in the gutter on this line)
   Using Intellij Community: Run the backend-community run config (or click the green arrow in the gutter on this line)
   Manually: Move to the backend directory: cd backend then run mvn spring-boot:run. Alternatively you can start the HangarApplication class via your IDE.
3. Install the frontend deps:
   Using Intellij: Right-click the package.json file in the frontend directory and click Run 'pnpm install' (or click the button in the Update dependencies toast)
   Manually: Move to the frontend directory: cd frontend then run pnpm install.
4. Start the frontend.
   Using Intellij: Run the frontend run config (or click the green arrow in the gutter on this line)
   Manually: Move to the frontend directory: cd frontend then run pnpm run dev.
5. After that, open http://localhost:3333, and if all went well, Hangar should be up and running.
6. You can open http://localhost:3333/onboarding and create an admin account, or once you logged in, generate fake data.

Notes

• The Spring Boot configuration file that is used by this environment is located at backend/src/main/resources/application.yml.
• You can view the emails hangar sends on http://localhost:4436/
• On staging/prod Hangar uses object storage, if you want to test that you can install minio and change the storage type to object in the application.yml

Deployment

Deployment happens via a helm chart in the /chart folder. The Spring Boot configuration file used for deployment can be found at chart/templates/secret-hangar-backend.yaml (however it will be overridden with the actual values via helm).

Translations

Hangar uses Crowdin for translations. If you want to contribute to translations, create a Crowdin account at https://hangar.crowdin.com/hangar and simply add new translations or comment/vote on existing translations. You can learn more about navigating the Crowdin UI here: https://support.crowdin.com/online-editor/.

Getting translations locally (mostly for developers, requires Crowdin CLI, ran in root folder):

crowdin pull -b master -T <PAT>

You might want to set the env var TRANSLATION_MODE to true in order to get warnings about untranslated strings.

Contributing

Most of our current and future plans can be found in the Hangar Roadmap Project. Your best bet is joining the #development channel on the Hangar Discord to start discussing potential contributions and ideas. With Hangar being such a massive project, any contributions are welcome!

Updating the frontend dependencies can be done best by running npx npm-check -u and going through the changelogs. Note that package.json might contain hints to which dependencies are broken.
