A project for quickly spinning up (and discarding) game servers on an as-needed basis.
Goals:
- Launch game servers anywhere in the world via AWS, GCE, or others. Pay only for what you use (probably <$5 per month)
- Both a friendly web UI and a reasonable REST API
- Quality. Every part of the system should either be, or at least feel, fast and reliable.
- Network measurement framework for ensuring QoS
Running this project requires nodejs with yarn and optionally pm2:
npm i -g yarn pm2
Then run yarn to install all the dependencies:
yarn
You can now run the entire system in dev mode with the following:
pm2 start dev.json
The actual functionality requires a PostgreSQL server. When you have
one available, you need to load the schema with db-migrate
(via npm run up and npm run down)
Then copy the .env files in backend and frontend to .env.local
and setup each of the env variables
