Getting Started

The Rally the Troops software is very simple and has minimal dependencies. All the data is stored in a single SQLite3 database. The server runs in a single Node process using the Express.js framework.

To run an RTT server instance, you will need the sqlite3 command line tool and Node.

Install the server

Check out the server repository.

git clone https://git.rally-the-troops.com/common/server

In the cloned server directory, install the NPM dependencies:

npm install

Initialize the database:

sqlite3 db < schema.sql

Install the modules

Game modules are found in the "public" directory. They also need to be registered in the database.

Check out a game module:

git clone https://git.rally-the-troops.com/modules/field-cloth-gold public/field-cloth-gold

Register it in the database:

sqlite3 db < public/field-cloth-gold/title.sql

Start the server

node server.js

Open the browser to http://localhost:8080/ and create an account.

The first account created will have administrator privileges.
