Proxy Mode

This page is for servers that are using a proxy (BungeeCord, Waterfall or Velocity) in their network to connect mutiple servers together. If you’re not using a proxy, you can skip this page.

What is “Proxy Mode”?

The proxy will handle SkinsRestorer’s commands, API, permission, database and config in a “centralized” manner.

How to install on proxy?

Please read: https://skinsrestorer.net/docs/installation#platform-installation 

Backend API: You can enable the backend storage by creating a file called enableSkinStorageAPI.txt in the SkinsRestorer folder (backend server -> ./plugins/SkinsRestorer/enableSkinStorageAPI.txt) This is useful when using plugins like BedWars, Dynmap, etc. that need to get the skin through API from the backend server. Keep in mind that connecting MySQL to the same database as the proxy is required for this to work!

ProxyMode: Warning: Disabling ProxyMode will force the backend to handle everything including applying skin on join. This is not recommended as the proxy has way better control over the player connection. How to turn off proxy mode: create a file called disableProxyMode.txt in the SkinsRestorer folder (backend server -> ./plugins/SkinsRestorer/disableProxyMode.txt) This will force disable proxy mode on the next restart.
