This pull request introduces significant enhancements to the service management system by adding a service registry with features like automatic tracking, reboot persistence, and restoration of missing services. The goal of this PR is to allow the user to store the service configuration files into an arbitrary directory, in this way they can be easily tracked, versioned, and replicated across different environments It also includes a migration script to transition from the legacy service configuration format to the new registry-based system. Below is a summary of the most important changes: ### Service Registry and Management Enhancements: 1. **Service Registry Integration**: - Added a comprehensive service registry system to track all created services, enabling features like cross-reboot persistence and restoration of missing services (`apps/startup-scripts/src/service-manager.sh`).

It ensures compatibility while preserving existing service information (`apps/startup-scripts/src/migrate-registry.sh`). ### Documentation Updates: 4. **Updated README**: - Expanded documentation in `README.md` to explain the new service registry features, including usage examples, custom configuration directories, and migration instructions.

AzerothCore
Build Status
Introduction
AzerothCore is an open-source game server application and framework designed for hosting massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs). It is based on the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft (WoW) and seeks to recreate the gameplay experience of the original game from patch 3.3.5a.
The original code is based on MaNGOS, TrinityCore, and SunwellCore and has since then had extensive development to improve stability, in-game mechanics, and modularity to the game. AC has also grown into a community-driven project with a significant number of contributors and developers. It is written in C++ and provides a solid foundation for creating private servers that mimic the mechanics and behavior of the official WoW servers.
Philosophy
Our main goal is to create a playable game server, offering a fully working in-game experience.
Here are the main points we focus on:
-
Stability
- We make sure all changes pass the CIs before being merged into the master branch.
-
Blizzlike content
- We strive to make all in-game content to be blizzlike. Therefore we have a high standard for fixes being made.
-
Customization
- It is easy to customize your experience using modules.
-
Community driven
- AzerothCore has an active community of developers, contributors, and users who collaborate, share knowledge, and provide support through forums, Discord channels, and other communication platforms.
Modules
AzerothCore is designed to be highly modular, allowing developers to extend and customize the game to suit their preferences or create unique gameplay experiences. This flexibility enables the addition of custom features, content, and modifications.
We have a lot of modules already made by the community, many of which can be found in the Module Catalogue.
Installation
Detailed installation instructions are available here.
Contributing
AzerothCore can also serve as a learning resource for aspiring developers who want to understand how WoW servers work, how MMORPGs are structured, how game server emulators are created, or to improve their C++ and SQL knowledge.
If you want to contribute to the project, you will find a lot of resources that will guide you in our wiki.
We also recommend you read our Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.
