Scribble.rs is an alternative to the web-based drawing game skribbl.io. My main problems with skribbl.io were the ads and the fact that a disconnect would cause you to lose your points. On top of that, the automatic word choice was quite annoying and caused some frustration.
The site will not display any ads or share any data with third parties.
We have a new blog over at https://scribble-rs.github.io. Over there, you can read about some highlights and discuss them in the comment section. The comment section is powered by utteranc.es, which means it'll use the blogs repository for comments and you can simply use your GitHub account for commenting.
Feel free to play on this instance

Might not respond right-away, just wait some seconds / minutes, as it shuts down automatically when unused.
By using Heroku, you can deploy a temporary container that runs scribble.rs. The container will not have any cost and automatically suspend as soon as it stops receiving traffic for a while.
Simply create an account at https://id.heroku.com/login and then click this link:
https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/scribble-rs/scribble.rs/tree/master
First you'll need to install the Go compiler by followng the instructions at https://go.dev/doc/install. If you are using a package manager for this, that's fine too.
Next you'll have to download the code via:
git clone https://github.com/scribble-rs/scribble.rs.git
cd scribble.rsLastly to build the executable, run the following:
For -nix systems:
# run `make` to see all available commands
make buildFor Windows:
go build -o scribblers .This will produce a portable binary called scribblers. The binary doesn't
have any dependencies and should run on every system as long as it has the
same architecture and OS family as the system it was compiled on.
The default port will be 8080. The parameter portHTTP allows changing the
port though.
You should be able to build the binary on any system that go supports as a compilation target.
This application requires go version 1.16 or higher.
In the Releases section you can find the latest stable release.
Alternatively each commit uploads artifacts which will be available for a certain time.
Alternatively there's a docker container:
docker pull biosmarcel/scribble.rsThe docker container is built from the master branch on every push, so it should always be up-to-date.
The default port is 8080. To override it, run:
docker run -p <port-number>:<port-number> biosmarcel/scribble.rs --portHTTP=<port-number>Since Scribble.rs uses WebSockets, when running it behind an nginx reverse proxy, you have to configure nginx to support that. You will find an example configuration on the related Wiki page.
Other reverse proxies may require similar configuration. If you are using a well known reverse proxy, you are free to contribute a configuration to the wiki.

If there's a steady income stream I'd spend it on infrastructure and a domain ;)
