CheSSH
CheSSH is a distributed multiplayer implementation of the game of Chess over SSH, written in Elixir, with Discord integrations to deliver alerts when players are looking for opponents, or in games when it is one's turn.

Dependencies
npm
elixir
postgresql
redis
(which you can ignore if you only use the ETS backend for Hammer inconfig/dev.exs
[set by default])
Installation
Do something among the lines of:
git clone https://github.com/Simponic/chessh
cd chessh
cp .env.example .env
chmod 0700 .env
# In one shell (after filling in your .env), start CheSSH
export $(cat .env | xargs)
mix ecto.create
mix ecto.migrate
iex -S mix
# In another shell, start the frontend
export $(cat .env | xargs)
cd front
npm install
npm start
Architecture
The process of building the pi cluster is wholly contained in the awful
buildscripts
, which will individually ssh
into separate pi's and build the
services locally there as well as update the load balancer pi's configurations for nginx
and HAproxy.
More architecture talk of CheSSH can be found in my (albeit kinda cringe) FSLC presentation on Elixir: https://github.com/Simponic/chessh/blob/main/presentation/chessh.org
