Development prerequisites

• git
• python (2.7)
• swig
• build tools (e.g. base-devel in arch Linux. Required for compiling pybox2d)
• swig library
• virtualenv

On Arch: pacman -S git base-devel python2 swig python-virtualenv

Get b/e dependencies

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Get f/e deps

cd frontend
npm install
bower install
patch --verbose -p0 < patches/*.patch

Build f/e

cd frontend
grunt build

Run devel env

cd backend
./game.py &
cd ../frontend
grunt

Deployment

Create your own server-configs/httpd-archers-your_server_name.conf and server-configs/supervisor-archers-your_server_name.conf files based on the included examples.

Create fabconfig.py:

import os
from fabric.api import env, task

# List all servers here
LOCATIONS = ("your_server_name", )

# All locations + the server browse
PROVIDERS = LOCATIONS + ("serverbrowser", )

@task
def your_server_name():
	env.user = 'root'
	env.environment = 'your_server_name'
	env.hosts = ['127.0.0.1'] #put server ip here
	env.root = '/srv/http/archers-your_server_name'
	env.python = '/usr/bin/python2'
	env.httpd_config_dir = '/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/' #trailing slash required
	env.folders = {
		"backend/": "backend/",
		"frontend/public/": "frontend/",
		"resources/": "resources/",
	}
	env.code_root = os.path.join(env.root, 'archers')
	env.requirements = os.path.join(env.root, 'archers', "backend")
	env.virtualenv_root = os.path.join(env.root, 'env')
	env.activate = 'source %s' % os.path.join(env.virtualenv_root, 'bin', 'activate')
	env.extra_opts = '-l --omit-dir-times'

@task
def server_browser():
	env.user = 'root'
	env.environment = 'serverbrowser'
	env.hosts = ['127.0.0.1'] #put server-browser ip here
	env.root = '/srv/http/archers-serverbrowser'
	env.python = '/usr/bin/python2'
	env.folders = {
		"server_browser/build/": "."
	}
	env.httpd_config_dir = '/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts'
	env.code_root = os.path.join(env.root, 'archers')
	env.extra_opts = '-L'

Make sure you've the following on the remote server: * httpd server like Apache or Nginx or similar * supervisord * rsync * git (required for fetching a dependency) * build tools (e.g. base-devel in arch Linux. Required for compiling pybox2d) * python (2.7) * swig library * virtualenv

On Arch: pacman -S nginx supervisor rsync git base-devel python2 swig python-virtualenv

Ideally setup key-based authentication (ssh-copy-id) then run fab build server bootstrap where server is configured in fabconfig (above). After making changes locally, you can redeploy by executing fab build server bootstrap.

Server browser is optional, can be configured in fabconfig as shown above and deployed using fab build server_browser bootstrap.
