== The OpencachingDeutschland project (OCDE) ==
[[File:OCDE logo.png|alt=OCDE|frame]]
[http://www.opencaching.de www.opencaching.de] is a major Geocaching website in Germany. The [https://github.com/OpencachingDeutschland/oc-server3 OpencachingDeutschland project] contains the website's code, including all third-party libraries needed to run it. It is one of two major Opencaching code forks; the other one being [https://github.com/opencaching/opencaching-pl/ Opencaching-PL]. Feel free to use it under the provided license terms for setting up your own open and free Geocaching listing service! The code can easily be translated to other languages.

==== Opencaching.DE code branch - https://github.com/OpencachingDeutschland/oc-server3 ====
[[File:Codegenerationen.svg|thumb|OC code history]]
The up-to-date version is deployed to a single server which is connected to four domains ([http://www.opencaching.de www.opencaching.de], [http://www.opencaching.it www.opencaching.it], [http://www.opencachingspain.es www.opencachingspain.es], [http://www.opencaching.fr www.opencaching.fr]); that is, all those sites run on one server with the same code and database. This is currently the only server running up-to-date OCDE code, besides of test and development machines.

Other OC sites branched off the OCDE code (see graph), doing minor (CZ, NL) major (SE/NO) or huge (PL) modifications. Opencaching.NL later switched to OCPL code, and Opencaching.SE/NO was shut down in 2014 after plans for a merger to Opencaching.DE were discarded.

Both the OCDE and OCPL code branches use the same public API (called [[OKAPI]], see http://opencaching.pl/okapi/).

[[File:Codegenerationen.svg|thumb|History of OC sites 2005-2016]]
== Opencaching Node ID ==
Node IDs are numbers used internally to uniquely identify each Opencaching node (website).

The purpose of these is to potentially allow information exchange between Opencaching nodes (like caches, users, logs, etc.). Another use is testing for developers in a virtual environment, without affecting the production website(s).

=== Node ID assignments ===
Each new website (node) must choose a unique, unassigned, NODE_ID.

Traditionally, NODE_IDs have been assigned by OCDE (Germany) management team.
