Setting up hosting

Setting up hosting (for the MMO)

Today I wanted to get my little MMO project hosted. I had to do the following to get it to work:

1. Get a static IP for my GCE instance
2. DNS Register mmo.unit.dev and point it to my static IP: ie add an A record for mmo.unit.dev -> Static IP
3. Generate a cert: sudo certbot certonly –standalone : https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=other&os=debianbuster
4. Setup the proxy to be a TLS host with the certbot generated certs. (ie the proxy app is now the TLS termination point for connections)
5. Changed the client websocket dialer to skip TLS (bad for production), but I’m only doing that for localhost testing temporarily (New TODO to fix that)
6. Notably I decided to not use nginx since I already have my proxy server which does basically the same thing as nginx (as far as what I needed to be done by nginx)
7. Loaded the index.html (and related wasm/js code into my firebase deployment)

And it’s alive! If you visit, let me know if you find any bugs! Very experimental https://unit.dev/mmo/
