PROXY-SETUP.md

Multi-instance / proxy setup

Instructions from https://docs.colyseus.io/colyseus/scalability/ and https://github.com/colyseus/proxy

First follow the instructions in README.md

The below will then allow you to run multiple instances of the gameserver behind an instance of @colyseus/proxy – which in turn is behind a nginx proxy.

80 (nginx) => 2567 (colyseus proxy) => 3001..300x (game servers)

1. Install Redis

curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis

redis-cli ping

2. Install and start mongoDB

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
