• latest, 4 (Dockerfile)

This is a containerized build of the Pretend You're Xyzzy Cards Against Humanity clone.

⚠ Version 3 (April 2020) is a vastly simplified Docker image, may break if upgrading from version 2. It no longer features multi-step builds.

The PYX project can be used in Docker format for development, outputting the built files, or running in production.

An example stack of PYX with a Postgres database and an Ngrok tunnel can be found in docker-compose.yml:

# Run PYX/Postgres stack
docker-compose up -d --build

Once the containers are running, you can:

• Visit http://localhost:8080/game.jsp to play locally
• Visit http://localhost:4040/status to find your Ngrok URL
• Visit https://#####.ngrok.io to share publicly

Keep the container up with SQLite and war:exploded jetty:run:

docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  --name pyx-dev \
  emcniece/dockeryourxyzzy:latest

# Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser
# Or, start a bash session within the container:
docker exec -it pyx-dev bash

Settings in build.properties can be modified by passing them in the container CMD:

docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  emcniece/dockeryourxyzzy:latest \
  mvn clean package war:war \
    -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2 \
    -Dmaven.buildNumber.doCheck=false \
    -Dmaven.buildNumber.doUpdate=false \
    -Dmaven.hibernate.url=jdbc:postgresql://postgres/pyx

Also are able to do more complex overrides by making a copy of build.properties and mounting that in overrides.

docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd)/build.properties:/overrides/build.properties \
  emcniece/dockeryourxyzzy:latest

This project can be built and run by any of the 3 following methods: CLI docker build commands, CLI make commands, or Docker-Compose.

The Makefile documents the frequently used build commands:

# Build default (full / runtime) image
make image

# Run container
make run

# Run in debug mode (no container CMD):
make run-debug

Docker commands can be found in the Makefile:

# Build full/runtime image
docker build -t pyx

Force building with the --build flag:

# Run PYX/Postgres stack
docker-compose up -d --build

• Figure out how to run :latest properly with a Postgres db
• Import & run sql files if specified for the Postgres db
• Buildtime config customization via Maven flags
• Runtime config customization via Maven flags
• Fetch GeoIP database in entrypoint.sh

• Haven't actually got this working with an external Postgres db yet
  • Now available via docker-compose
• Versioning and tagging isn't done well here because Pretend You're Xyzzy doesn't seem to tag or version.
