Linking Solder to Technic Platform

Linking your Solder installation to Technic Platform lets Platform pull modpack and mod data directly from your Solder instance -- importing packs and generating detailed mod lists on your Platform page.

The process has three steps: copy an API key from Platform, add it to Solder, then point Platform back at your Solder API URL.

Step 1: Get Your API Key from Platform

  1. Visit technicpack.net and log in.
  2. Click your name in the upper-right corner and select Edit Profile.
  3. Click Solder Configuration in the sub-menu.
  4. Copy the API Key shown on that page.

Step 2: Add the API Key to Solder

  1. Log in to your Solder installation.
  2. Navigate to Configure Solder > API Key Management.
  3. Click Add API Key.
  4. Enter a descriptive name (e.g. your Platform username) and paste the API key you copied.
  5. Click Add Key.
  1. Go back to the Solder Configuration page on Technic Platform.

  2. In the Solder URL field, enter the full URL to your Solder API, including the trailing /api/.

    https://solder.example.com/api/

  3. Click Link Solder.

Warning

The URL must include /api/ at the end. Without it, Platform cannot reach the Solder API and the link will fail.

If everything is configured correctly, Technic Platform will verify your Solder installation and activate Solder support on your account.

Once linked, you should see a confirmation message on Platform's Solder Configuration page. You can also check that your modpacks appear in Platform's pack management interface.

Tip

If the link fails, make sure your Solder instance is publicly accessible and that your web server is correctly proxying requests to the application. See the web server configuration guide for examples.
