To be clear, I wasn’t suggesting it’s only a development tool. It, of course, can be used outside of that. But it’s most useful as a development tool, since normal users won’t have a ton of use for it and (as you said) it avoids cloud infrastructure. That makes it incredibly easy to spin up locally for testing and development, but for a real production deployment it’s not very suitable. In a real deployment you’d almost always want something more robust. For example in our deployment we make use of:
Cloudflare
SSL certificates
Data caching
Their distributed CDN
CF Tunnels (which is required to get the older consoles running due to their outdated TLS versions)
R2 for some internal buckets
Etc.
BunnyCDN for static assets
Mii images
Juxtaposition assets
Etc
AWS for SES and (eventuslly) s3 for some internal buckets
MinIO for public s3 (this can be self hosted though, which is what we opted for)
Among various other smaller services, and we’re always looking at others to help make our deployments better. In a real deployment you’d want to take advantage of things like this. You’d also want to take advantage of a more distributed system (not running everything on one machine/container) to scale better (which is what we’re working towards)
So while not particularly suitable, in my opinion, for a real production deployment, it IS super useful for spinning up an instance of the whole network pretty quickly for dev work.
I wasn’t suggesting that to be the case either though it would make more sense to be geared towards that kind of thing since like you say stuff like accounts etc are completely separate which would be helpful in the case of a dev environment…
Oh wait just read the last bit of your reply Jon… okay we are on the same page then lol
I presume the “3rd party server” system/solution whatever you want to call it that you spoke of wont be ready and public for quite a while right? @PN_Jon at least not in the near future while you guys work on server stability and so on
I have the ground work already planned out, I just need to finalize some things. It hopefully shouldn’t be a super long time from now, I want to get it out relatively soon. Multiple other teams have asked me for this support
Cool, cant wait lol… could also i guess be useful if say you are a streamer and your trying to play with specific people say, could technically make it easier by running your own server for whatever game it is… ofc if the game needs a server otherwise it would be pointless lol
Unfortunately, Mario Kart 8 is not supported yet on my selfhosted server. It’s on the roadmap though. Sorry about that.
Edit: Based on your DNS settings, your post seems completely unrelated to self-hosting Pretendo. For the record, I am not an official developer and I can’t help you with your problems on the official Pretendo servers. Flagged as off-topic.
I have self hosted Pretendo, to try to fix some stuff on Juxt, but it seems the changed files arent applying when i try them, and i know im connected to my proxy
How could i set up my localhosted Juxt so i can easily make an PR out of it? I dont have that much experience on Docker/Ubuntu or in Git, so i kinda need guides on it, tho i do know how to bug fix some of the Juxt JS, i still would need server changes, so thats why i was asking
I think what you mean is that you are changing files in juxtaposition-ui after fully completing the setup process, and the new files are not being sent to the console. This is expected, you need to rebuild the docker container with docker compose up -d --build again to get your changes to apply to the running server.
Hello, do you have an discord?
I keep getting issues, i reinstalled my pretendo-docker, and it appears as success, yet when i try to connect on my console it doesnt work
Hi, I’m on Discord as MatthewL246 there too, and I’m in the Pretendo Network server as a developer.
However, for general pretendo-docker support, I would prefer people making an issue on GitHub. That way, I can help you with your problem and others can also learn from it since it’s public. It also helps me keep my things organized. Thanks!
Thanks for the offer! I’ve already had someone else test and confirm that it works, but I’m always happy to receive more test results if you’re interested in giving it a try.
