Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5 1cf5d0a68d The determinism harness moves into deploy/ for real
deploy/verify-ledgers.sh fetches every production ledger and strictly
replays it against the local engine (any refusal or crash fails; a
lobby that never dealt is trivially clean). Run from the repo root
before deploying engine changes — the check both of tonight's replay
breaks would have caught.

Deploying Wiz-War

The game runs on a single DigitalOcean droplet: one Node process serves the built client and the websocket on port 8787; Caddy in front terminates TLS with automatic certificates. Room files persist in /var/lib/wizwar/rooms and survive deploys and reboots.

Current production

  • Droplet: wizwar (nyc3, s-1vcpu-1gb, tag wizwar), IP 104.236.96.198
  • URLs: https://wizwar.kestrelsnest.social and https://wizwar.104.236.96.198.sslip.io (always works, zero DNS). Caddy serves both; NOTE: kestrelsnest.social's authoritative DNS is at HOVER (ns1/ns2.hover.com), not DigitalOcean — records must be added there. A matching record also sits in the DO zone in case nameservers ever move.

Everyday deploys

deploy/deploy.sh 104.236.96.198

Builds the client locally, rsyncs the repo (minus node_modules, data/, .git, research), installs dependencies on the droplet, and restarts the service. Games in progress survive: state lives in room files, and clients reconnect automatically.

New droplet from scratch

  1. doctl compute droplet create wizwar --region nyc3 --size s-1vcpu-1gb \ --image ubuntu-24-04-x64 --ssh-keys <your-key-ids> --tag-name wizwar --wait
  2. scp deploy/setup-droplet.sh root@<ip>:/root/ && ssh root@<ip> \ "bash /root/setup-droplet.sh wizwar.<ip>.sslip.io"
  3. deploy/deploy.sh <ip>

Operations

  • Logs: ssh root@<ip> journalctl -u wizwar -f
  • Restart: ssh root@<ip> systemctl restart wizwar
  • Backup games: scp -r root@<ip>:/var/lib/wizwar/rooms ./rooms-backup
