/DEV/NULL/NETHACK TRIBUTE CLAN MANAGEMENT

This code started as an attempt at reimplementation of /dev/null/nethack's central server code. With the tournament retirement by Krystal, this never came to fruition. Instead, this code was coopted for clan management of the replacement tournament -- /dev/null/nethack Tribute and then the TNNT tournament. The tag 'pre-tribute' marks the last commit before this event.

Note: TNNT got a new scoreboard, so this code is no longer maintained.

ARCHITECTURE

• Perl Dancer framework
• SQLite as backend storage

DEPLOYMENT

For testing, you can fire up the application with Plack, just go into the Dancer app directory Devnull-Web and run:

plackup -p 5000 bin/app.psgi

Then just point your browser to http://your_ip:5000/

For production deployment a suitable application web server is needed. start.sh and stop.sh scripts utilizing the Starman web server are provided. The main user-facing webserver needs to be configured as a reverse proxy for the application webserver. Example of Apache 2.4 config:

<Location /devnull/clanmgmt/>
ProxyPass         http://localhost:5000/
ProxyPassReverse  /
ProxyPreserveHost On
</Location>
