The ATHR Item Push Server is a barebones, very simple item sender using ATHR's Object DNS service to reliably send inventory items and updates on demand to customers.

Features

  • Simple, notecard based setup lets you stand up a server without needing a fancy website front-end.
  • Allows you send freebies and product updates on demand without needing a complex vendor system.
  • Allows for redundant backup servers placed around the grid in case the your home sim is offline

Some Notes:

  • You can place multiple copies of the server in different sims for redundancy. Just make sure the contents are synched.

  • If you have items customers pay for, keep them on a different server than the freebie items in case the script credentials are exposed.

  • You need to keep the server on your own land or land you're allowed to keep things on. (Yes, this has come up with customers before)
