Docker

To deploy Destroyer2 with Docker™, make sure that you have docker and docker-compose installed on your machine. Check out the Docker™ docs (opens new window) for installation instructions.

Deploy script

Destroyer2 offers a simple deployment script that automates the development and deployment of Destroyer2 with Docker™ containers.

To use this script, first navigate to the Destroyer2 base folder:

cd /path/to/destroyer2/

Then, run:

./docker/deploy.sh

You may use the following commands:

Command	Description
help	Show available commands
simple	Simple Docker™ setup with Node.js™ and Redis™
reverse-proxy	Reverse-proxy setup with Nginx™, Node.js™ and Redis™
clean	Clean-up all unused Docker™ images and volumes
stop	Stop all running Docker™ containers

Reverse-proxy

TIP

The reverse-proxy setup is highly recommended for production deployment, as it offers SSL and greater security out of the box.

The reverse-proxy setup protects your app by routing all requests to the game server through a gateway or proxy. This way, only port 80 (HTTP) and port 443 (HTTPS) are exposed. Additionally, static files are served using this proxy instead of the Node.js™ backend, unballasting and speeding up the game server. Finally, the proxy offers transport encryption over HTTPS.

Manual Deployment

You can also manually configure the predefined Docker™ configurations and deploy your own setups. However, we recommend the deploy script in most use cases.

You can find the docker-compose configuration files used by the deploy script in the docker/ folder.

To customize, edit the Dockerfile and add your own docker-compose.yml in the project's root. Then run:

docker-compose up -d
