AtomCMS — Next.js

AtomCMS (originally Laravel) converted to Next.js 16 (App Router) with Prisma 7 against the same Arcturus Morningstar MySQL/MariaDB database.
NextAuth for authentication (argon2id/bcrypt + md5→argon2id upgrade), RCON to the emulator, full public site + admin panel.


Requirements

Component Version
Node.js >= 22
pnpm >= 10.33.4
MySQL / MariaDB 8.0+ / 10.6+
Redis optional (caching / rate limiting)

1. Database Setup

This CMS shares the database with the Arcturus Morningstar emulator.
You need an existing (or empty) database.

Create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS atomcms CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

Use an existing emulator database:
Point DATABASE_URL to your existing database — the CMS reads the emulator tables (users, users_currency, bans, etc.) directly.

Create CMS tables:
After configuring .env, run the migration script (step 5). This only creates CMS-owned tables (website_*, radio_*, etc.).


2. Environment Variables

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in:

cp .env.example .env

Required

DATABASE_URL=mysql://user:[email protected]:3306/atomcms
AUTH_SECRET=                              # at least 32 chars, random string
HOTEL_NAME=YourHotel
APP_URL=http://localhost:3000

Database pool (tunable)

DATABASE_POOL_SIZE=40
DATABASE_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS=300000
DATABASE_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MS=10000

Password settings

CONVERT_PASSWORDS=false                   # set to true to upgrade old md5 hashes to argon2id on login
PASSWORD_HASH=bcrypt                      # bcrypt (default) or argon2id

Laravel APP_KEY (for 2FA)

Only needed to read existing Laravel-encrypted 2FA secrets:

APP_KEY=base64:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx==

For live credits, badges, motto changes, rank changes, kick/ban:

RCON_HOST=127.0.0.1
RCON_PORT=3001

Badge upload (emulator directory)

BADGE_UPLOAD_DIR=/path/to/emulator/assets/c_images/album1584

Email (password reset / notifications)

Two options — Resend (recommended, simple) or SMTP:

# Resend (preferred)
RESEND_API_KEY=re_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# OR SMTP:
SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_USER=user
SMTP_PASSWORD=password
[email protected]

OAuth (Discord / Google)

DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=
DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET=
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=

PayPal (credit purchases)

PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID=
PAYPAL_SECRET=
PAYPAL_API=https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com   # sandbox = test, live = https://api-m.paypal.com

Redis (caching / rate limiting)

REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379

AI content moderation (Comments / Guestbook)

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Notifications / logging

DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...
[email protected]
LOG_LEVEL=info                                # debug | info | warn | error

Emulator JAR backup (jobs worker)

EMULATOR_JAR_PATH=/path/to/emulator.jar
EMULATOR_BACKUP_DIR=/path/to/backups
EMULATOR_BACKUP_KEEP=7                        # number of backups to keep

3. Install Dependencies

pnpm install

4. Generate Prisma Client

pnpm prisma:generate

This generates TypeScript types in src/generated/prisma/.


5. Run CMS Migrations

pnpm db:migrate

This executes the SQL files in prisma/migrations/ on the database and creates the CMS tables (9 migrations).

Check status:

pnpm db:migrate:status

6. Configure Website Settings

After starting (step 7) and logging in as admin:

  1. Go to Admin → CMS Settings (/admin/settings)
  2. At minimum, configure:
    • hotel_name — your hotel name
    • habbo_imaging_url — avatar image URL (default: https://www.habbo.com/habbo-imaging/avatarimage)
    • nitro_client_url — Nitro client URL (see update-Nitrov3.sh)
    • logo_url — path to your logo
    • cms_favicon — favicon URL
    • min_staff_rank — minimum rank for admin access (default: 7)
    • Optionally: theme colors, CAPTCHA, VPN blocking, etc.

7. Start the Site

Development (hot reload)

pnpm dev

Production

pnpm build && pnpm start

TypeScript check

pnpm typecheck

Run tests

pnpm test

8. Jobs Worker (Background Tasks)

Run this as a persistent process (e.g. via systemd / screen / PM2):

pnpm jobs:worker

This executes:

  • Daily at 03:00 — Emulator JAR backup (only if EMULATOR_JAR_PATH + EMULATOR_BACKUP_DIR are set)
  • Daily at 04:00 — Clean up old login logs (>30 days) and expired password reset tokens (>7 days)

9. First Login

  1. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser
  2. Register an account via /register OR log in with an existing account
  3. To get admin access, your rank must be >= min_staff_rank (default 7)
    • Set it directly in the database: UPDATE users SET rank = 7 WHERE username = 'yourname';
  4. Go to /admin for the admin panel

Optional Integrations

Emulator — RCON

For live actions (credits, badges, rank changes, kick/ban), the Arcturus emulator must be running with RCON enabled on the same RCON_HOST:RCON_PORT.

Client — Nitro

The /client page loads the Nitro client. Configure the client URL in website_settings via Admin → CMS Settings (nitro_client_url).

Radio

If you use a radio (e.g. Azuracast), configure:

  • radio_now_playing_api_url
  • radio_listeners_api_url

CAPTCHA

Supports Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA. Configure in Admin → CMS Settings:

  • captcha_provider — turnstile or recaptcha
  • turnstile_site_key / turnstile_secret
  • recaptcha_site_key / recaptcha_secret

Theme

12 preset themes available via Admin → Theme (/admin/theme), plus fully customizable colors.
