Below are the steps for deploying the Floating Server using executable files.
Step 1: Download the Executable
Download the executable from this link and unzip the file. After unzipping, you will find a directory named web and the executable file.
Step 2: Create the Configuration File
The server requires a config.yaml file. This file is where you define the server settings, including the database and other optional parameters such as API URLs, product licenses, and login credentials.
Example Configurations:
Redis:
YAML
database:
  type: redis
  addresses: 
    - localhost:6379
database:
  type: redis
  addresses: 
    - localhost:6379
﻿
File-Based Database:
YAML
database:
  type: file
  addresses: 
    - database
database:
  type: file
  addresses: 
    - database
﻿
This creates a database directory in the current location to store the data.
Step 3: Choose a Database
Define the database type and address in your configuration file before running the server. You can choose between two database options:
Redis: A fast, key-value database for efficient local storage.
File-Based Database: Embedded, suitable for Windows environments.
Step 4: Run the Executable
Once your configuration file is in place, run the executable with the following:
Windows: ./floating-server.exe 
Linux: ./floating-server 
(Optional) Step 5: Customize the Run Command 
You can customize how the server runs by specifying additional options, such as the port and configuration file path by customizing the run command. 
./floating-server.exe -config /path/to/config.yaml
