Sure. I wrote the docker-compose file in the repository. Unless something major has changed, it should be pretty straightforward to just clone the repo and then run
$ docker compose up
If anybody uses this in prod from a git repo, might want to place your database creds in an .env file adjacent to your compose file then gitignore the .env.
Referenced like so:
.env contents
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=MyExamplePassword
MYSQL_ROOT_USER=MyExampleUser
docker-compose.yml contents:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
MYSQL_ROOT_USER: ${MYSQL_ROOT_USER}
Don't commit secrets to git!
Damn mobile formatting.
The timing! I just finished 5 hours of playing on my self hosted server with a friend of mine lol On ubuntu, I just needed java installed, download the git repo, then ran the run sh file. That was it. In the client you edit the config file to swap the public server address with your server's ip and when you launch next, it will connect to yours.
No but I definitely want to now that I know this exists
