Prototype

This approach to Fediventure aims to get things running across *spaces as soon as possible. It currently mostly consists of working on the WorkAdventure JavaScript frontend, and a bare minimum of changes to the existing backend services so that you can host your own instance easily.

Each deployment consists of the following:

                     .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -.
    .-------------.  :                                 :
    | web browser |  :             .-------------.     :
    |-------------| <--- HTTP ---> | proxy       |     :
    |  frontend   |  :             | (eg. nginx) |     :
    '-------------'  :             '-------------'     :
                     :          .----'|      |         :
                     :          |   .-'      |         :
                     :          v   |        |         :
                     :  .----------------.   |         :
                     :  |      maps      |   |         :

                     :  '----------------'   |         :
                     :              |        |         :
                     :              v        |         :
                     :    .----------------. |         :
                     :    |   frontend     | |         :
                     :    | (static files) | |         :
                     :    '----------------' |         :
                     :                   .---'         :
                     :                   v             :
                     :          .------------------.   :
                     :          |      pusher      |   :
                     :          |     (node.js)    |   :
                     :          '------------------'   :
                     :                   ^             :
                     :                   | gRPC        :
                     :                   v             :
                     :          .------------------.   :
                     :          |     backend      |   :
                     :          |     (node.js)    |   :
                     :          '------------------'   :
                     :                                 :
                     : adventure.example.com           :
                     '- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -'

So, in other terms, the Fediventure Prototype is a self-contained distribution of WorkAdventure, that contains a common patchset across all instances of it. As the Matrixful/Matrixless proposals evolve, the Prototype will too, and will become a fully fledged federated instance within the protocol that is picked.

Installation

To install the Prototype, you can follow any of the following:

• Install on NixOS, if this is what you're running on your production machine. This is the main recommended method of running Fediventure.
• Install using OCI images, if running OCI images is your preferred production deployment approach (ie. if you want to use Docker/Kubernetes).
• Install from scratch, if the above does not work for you. This is highly discouraged, instead we would prefer hearing from you why none of the above work for you.
