Hosting your own web client using Apache2

Please keep in mind that these instructions apply to using Apache2 on Linux. If you're running it on Windows, you might need to adapt some of the steps.

First, you need to clone this repo to your server or download the zip file and extract it to an appropriate location (e.g. /var/www/secretreichstag/).

You then need to create a new site configuration file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ (e.g. secretreichstag.conf) with the following contents

<VirtualHost *:443>
	ServerName your.domain

	ServerAdmin webmaster@your.domain

	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
  
	SSLCertificateFile /path/to/your/certificate.pem
	SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/your/privatekey.pem
	
	DocumentRoot /var/www/secretreichstag
	
	# For insecure WebSockets. If you're using secure websockets, disable this
	ProxyPass "/sswss" "ws://localhost:34642"
	
	# For secure WebSockets, enable these
	# Note: Internally, this will always use insecure websockets. You can change this if you want
	# SSLProxyEngine On
	# ProxyPass "/sswss" "ws://localhost:34642"
</VirtualHost>

Note: Make sure you don't replace the /sswss with something else. The web client will always try to connect to /sswss by default. If you want to change this behavior, you need to edit the network.js file

If you don't want to use https, make sure to change the *:443 to *:80 and remove the SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile

If you're using a path other than the default Apache2 path (inside /var/www/), make sure to edit the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf accordingly by adding the directory configuration, e.g. for /path/to/secretreichstag

<Directory /path/to/secretreichstag/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

You need to ensure that you've enabled the required modules for Apache2 using

a2enmod proxy proxy_http proxy_wstunnel

You can then enable the site using

a2ensite secretreichstag

and restart Apache using

systemctl restart apache2.service

Make sure you have a valid DNS entry for the new subdomain pointing to your server.

Afterwards, your website should be reachable under http(s)://your.domain/. Players using the Android app can connect to the backend server by adding the URL ws(s)://your.domain/sswss to their server list
