Become a HubHost - The Dodo Suite Wiki

You are the Hub Host and already did set up for your solo site (You own the team domain, and run HostHelper for the team)

Important note: When someone signs up on your website, their account is always saved locally on your machine first. Optionally, it can also be saved to the central Dodo Suite database so the player can use the same account on other Dodo Suite websites. The Player Page and Signup page both show an "Opt-in to the Central Database" option. HostHelper supports using your own custom theme, this lets you bypass participating in the central account system. Find more information about how opt-in works on HostHelper's wiki page. This cannot be removed from The Dodo Way Theme, HostHelper protects and heals this theme per its license and other notices found in-app, in-folder, and on the wiki.

Login to Cloudflare
In the dashboard (side menu) navigate to Networks → Tunnels → Create a tunnel (connector on your PC) — Create a tunnel (dashboard)
Either buy a domain in Cloudflare (Registrar), or add a domain you already own (Add site) and point its nameservers to what Cloudflare shows (Primary setup (full), Set up a primary zone)
Wait until the site shows Active in Cloudflare if you moved nameservers
In the dashboard (side menu) navigate to Networks → Tunnels → Create a tunnel (connector on your PC) — Create a tunnel (dashboard)

Name the tunnel (for example thedodoterminal)
Copy the tunnel token (treat it like a password, do not share this with anyone, even team members)
Add a Public Hostname: HTTP → http://localhost:7070 (SDT's default dashboard port, enter this exactly unless you manually changed it) — Protocols / service types
Now lets configure the tunnel.

In the tunnel, add a public address that sends traffic to your PC, this is the act of SDT serving your website. It only serves the Dodo Site folder generated later in this section. Set the service to HTTP and the address to http://localhost:7070 (only change this if you changed SDT's dashboard port yourself)
Select the https link visitors will use (your subdomain on your domain), for example https://yourdomain.com
- Select the domain from the dropdown. This dropdown will have multiple domains listed if you have more than one domain through Cloudflare. Make sure you select the right one.
Add a route for each link/subdomain you want visitors to be able to use (commonly both root and www), you can even choose something fun like 'dodo'

Players can only find your website at the exact URLs listed as routes here
You MUST add a route for www and use https://www.yourdomain.com/ in SDT and HH's settings when inputting the domain there, this is what's expected for backend stuff.
- You can add as many other fun ones as you'd like, and you can use the URL you prefer when sharing with others.
Click the HostHelper shortcut () in the top right of SuperDodoTerminal
SDT must be running for HH to work.
Click Start

Verify islands + mode

Make sure your island(s) appear on the Islands tab
Make sure the status bar says Current Editing Mode: Team Mode
If not, go to Host Modes and checkmark Website Team Mode

Once enabled, you'll see a Team Website URL section appear
Enter the domain

Click the Website Server tab
- Click Open DodoBuilder
This panel is packed with a LOT. I'm not going over all of it, just the main things to get you up and running. Explore the panel to find all the different things you can do :) The first panel you'll see is 1) Content. This is the meat and potatoes of the DodoBuilder, and how you define your website's look and feel.
Click 1) Content and start by checkmarking/unchecking pages you do and don't want. Some pages cannot be turned off, these are essential to site operation!
Once you have your pages picked, click Edit Page content and be prepared, there's a lot in this panel. At this point you need to decide/do a few things.
- 1) Do you want custom images or do you like the default ones? If you want custom → Start on Page Styles to adjust the look of your site. Then move to Home to adjust what icons are used for everything. You can start with the default images and update them anytime.
- 2) Set your site Rules. This is what lets you say "You agreed to and broke the rules so you're banned" when you have player issues.
- 3) Setup your Legals text. You should not share your site until this is shared because you will be collecting personal information. You can use the default Legals or type your own. Subscription Legal text is your responsibility if you enabled them, there is no default option.
- 4) On the Players Page tab; determine if you want every player to verify their account via NID. This requires encouraging them to use an island that's in queue mode(1 visitor at a time per a sign up list), so the system can link their NID to their website account. Useful if you want to be able to catch and re-ban people who try to bypass website banning by creating a new account. This is really the only thing players cannot lie about.
- 5) Setup your FAQs. You start with 5 default ones, add additional ones to fit your sites needs.
- 7) Set up an Offline page (after you've completed all other customization because this does not auto-update when you regenerate your site, this is manually uploaded to Cloudflare to show in place of the ugly 505 page) The bottom of the tab walks you through what to do.
- Technically done! You can spend as much time going through additional settings/options/customization as you'd like.
- Click Save! The panel will auto-close.

You'll be back on the main DodoBuilder panel now. Leave 2) alone unless you know what you're doing!

Remember that the site you're generating is YOURS. The theme provided by The Dodo Suite's HostHelper does not resolve you of legal responsibilities surrounding hosting/running/maintaining a website with user accounts. Treat your computer as a private database because that's what it is. Do not give random machine access and be mindful of software you install because it's not just your information that would be compromised.

DodoBuilder is a work in progress. Some things (like Alerts and similar text on image features) are still buggy. Bear with me. If you spot something missing for customization, send a message on (invite link coming soon) or create an issue on Github and I'll add it in! I tried to get everything but considering how many elements are involved ;) I appreciate your feedback!
