How to build your own image

This repository contains all the necessary files to configure, build and run a Bolt Game Server using Docker, that can later be deployed to Gameye service.

In order to get a working Docker image, follow the steps below:

1. Clone this repository into your machine.
2. Build a standalone version of your game. We recommend that you use Headless Sample as base, so you can start a server in batchmode. This build must follow the rules:
   1. Target Platform: Linux;
   2. Architecture: x86;
   3. Game executable binary name: game.x86. If you want to use other name, you need to rename the GE_GAMEBIN variable in the Dockerfile file.
3. Copy your game executable into the build folder.
4. Create the image:
   1. You can use the Makefile included to build the image (make sure to change the variables DOCKER_USERNAME and GAME_IMAGE_NAME):
      • $ make build.
5. Upload the image to Docker Hub:
   • $ make upload
