Server installation guide

Open LostQuasar opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

On the page https://quiltmc.org/en/install/server/ perhaps it would be better to specifiy what INSTALLER_VERSION referrs to or perhaps replace it with the most recent version dynamically if possible?

I don't think replacing it dynamically is practical because there's no way of knowing what version the user wants to use. Often, Quilt isn't available for the latest versions right away.

I agree that the wording could be improved, though. I'll see about that.

This is the installer version, not the loader version - replacing it dynamically would be fine as folks should always be using the latest there. That said, I'm not sure how practical that would be or how much dependence it would introduce on js to make the page work. Unless I've misunderstood and the server installer is released per loader version or something

There is already JS on that page fetching the latest version number to display it. It isn't critical, so I'd say introducing JS there is alright.

Yes, you pretty much always want the latest version of the installer.
