Goblin Base Server is an open-source backend based on Node.js, Redis and MongoDB made for game/web/apps developers. It's scalable enough to cover thousands of requests per second, tens of thousands DAU, and provide a comfortable realtime multiplayer for a growing player base.

This repository represents basic usage of Goblin Base Server implementing it with default configurations and a default set of Cloud Functions.

This is a good point to start working with Goblin Base Server

Getting started

1. Clone or download this repository;
2. Install and run software: Node.js, Redis and MongoDB of latest versions;
   1. If you on Windows - try to install this Redis or just deploy cloud Redis for free;
   2. Also you can try a cloud MongoDB instead of local.
3. Edit preferences file preferences.json:
   1. START_AT_HOST and START_AT_PORT - where to run server. 127.0.0.1 for localhost and 0.0.0.0 for public;
   2. Point the MONGODB_HOST, MONGODB_PORT, MONGODB_DATABASE_NAME, REDIS_HOST and REDIS_PORT to connect to;
   3. HMAC_SECRET stands for communication protection. You can leave it default for development purposes;
   4. TURN_ON_CORS keep it true if no reverse proxy used.
4. Actually run the Server: $ cd goblin-base-server-bootstrap && node index.js;
5. Use pm2 if possible: $ pm2 ./pm2process.json

Cloud functions

All cloud functions are stored at cloudFunctions directory of the repository. You can put your own - they will be caught up automatically. Don't make subdirectories - or just modify index.js code to scan subdirectories too.
