This repo contains all of the backend server code for the Flappy Race game which includes the main server list (under ./list) and the server game manager (under ./manager) as submodules.

These services can all be run using docker compose for convenience:

• Server list (to show games on the server browser)
• Server game manager (to host official game servers)
• Watchtower (auto updates docker images)
• Nginx with certbot (reverse proxy to route connections to services and keeps HTTPS certificates updated automatically)

In order to support HTTPS a ./proxy/.env file is needed with a valid email address which certbot can use to request certificates. Make a copy of the .env.example file in the proxy directory and rename it .env and add your email address to set the CERTBOT_EMAIL env var.

Ensure all submodules are cloned and updates using git pull --recurse-submodules. Use docker compose up to build and run the services using the local code in the submodule repos, without Watchtower auto updating images.

To get HTTPS to work correctly locally add jibby.localhost to your hosts file to point at 127.0.0.1 and add the local CA from the proxy service container's files (the file to add is /etc/local_ca/caCert.pem).

Use the ./start-prod.sh and ./stop-prod.sh scripts to start and stop the services on production servers which includes some extras such as auto restarting containers and pulling docker images from DockerHub with Watchtower to keep them updated.

You can use ./reload-nginx.sh to update the nginx config without any downtime.
