MiningBots Frontend

This site connects to an ongoing MiningBots game and provices an birds-eye view of the entire map

Deployment Notes

Deploying this site publicly requires all endpoints be secured, ie https/wss. Reverse proxy non-TLS traffic as necessary such that your browser will not block loading mixed content from https and http sources.

For trainer deployments where files are updated in place, serve the frontend with no-cache headers so browsers fetch changed JavaScript and CSS after a normal refresh. The native systemd helper in tinkertanker/miningbots uses scripts/no-cache-http-server.py for this.

An example of a Caddyfile (this assumes this code is stored in /opt/web/miningbots-fe)

game.bootcamp.tk.sg {
	tls /etc/ssl/fullchain1.pem /etc/ssl/privkey1.pem # Using the same Wildcard cert obtained with certbot
	header {
		Access-Control-Allow-Origin *
		Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true
		Access-Control-Allow-Methods *
		Access-Control-Allow-Headers *
		Cache-Control "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0"
		Pragma "no-cache"
		Expires "0"
		defer
	}
	root * /opt/web/miningbots-fe
	file_server
}

p1.bootcamp.tk.sg {
	tls /etc/ssl/fullchain1.pem /etc/ssl/privkey1.pem # Using the same Wildcard cert obtained with certbot
	header {
		Access-Control-Allow-Origin *
		Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true
		Access-Control-Allow-Methods *
		Access-Control-Allow-Headers *
		defer
	}
	reverse_proxy server.bootcamp.tk.sg:9001 {
		header_down -Access-Control-Allow-Origin
	}
}
