aiarena-docker-base

https://hub.docker.com/r/aiarena/

A collection of base images used by the AI Arena match controller.

Local play

If you're just looking for a way to play local matches using docker, check out the local-play-bootstrap.

Tests

See test_docker_image.sh which builds both local dockerfiles and then runs the aiarena client with several bots and checks the results with expected outcomes.

Usage

This docker can be used to run AI Arena ladder on a local machine. Follow the steps below to configure and run an example match between two standard bots.

1. Build an image.
2. Copy file named example_local_config.py and rename its copy to config.py. If necessary, adjust any parameters inside.
3. Download the latest aiarena bots:

git clone https://github.com/aiarena/aiarena-test-bots

If you want to use other bots, you can download them as well. 4. Download the latest maps for AI Arena ladder and unpack them into some empty directory. 5. Now create a file called matches with the following content:

# Bot1 name, Bot1 race, Bot1 type, Bot2 name, Bot2 race, Bot2 type, Map
basic_bot,T,python,loser_bot,T,python,DeathAuraLE

You can add more matches if you want. 6. Run the docker container:

export CONFIG_PATH="/path/to/your/config.py"
export MATCHES_PATH="/path/to/your/matches"
export BOTS_PATH="/path/to/your/bots"
export MAPS_PATH="/path/to/your/maps"
export REPLAYS_PATH="/path/to/new/empty/directory"
docker run -v ${CONFIG_PATH}:/root/aiarena-client/config.py -v ${MATCHES_PATH}:/root/aiarena-client/matches -v ${BOTS_PATH}:/root/aiarena-client/bots -v ${MAPS_PATH}:/root/StarCraftII/maps ${REPLAYS_PATH}:/root/aiarena-client/replays:rw -v -it aiarena/arenaclient:latest

After the command completes, replays will be available in $REPLAYS_PATH directory.
