🛡️Be an administrator on my Nova-Life server

Step-by-step guide to be an administrator on your Nova-Life server (SQLite database, FTP).

On Nova Life, the admin level is stored in a SQLite database. You can grant yourself rights by changing the adminlevel of the player.

Objective

• Download the server database via FTP.

• Edit adminlevel for your player (0 to 5).

• Re-upload the file and restart the server.

Before modifying a database, make a backup. Guide: Create a backup and restore it.

Step-by-step guide

Register your character in the database

Log into your server at least once. This creates your player row in the database.

Then shut down the server.

If you use an FTP client, follow: Access my server files via FTP with FileZilla.

Access server files (FTP)

On the dashboard, open the FTP.

Go to Servers NovaLifeServer then download the file life.db :

Change your adminlevel

To manually edit the database, download DB Browser from the official site: sqlitebrowser.org/dl. Make sure to choose the version compatible with your operating system.

Find your player, then the column adminlevel.

Choose a value:
