This code started as an attempt at reimplementation of /dev/null/nethack’s
central server code. With the tournament
retirement
by Krystal, this never came to fruition. Instead, this code was coopted
for clan management of the replacement tournament — /dev/null/nethack
Tribute and then the TNNT tournament. The tag ‘pre-tribute’ marks the last
commit before this event.

Note: TNNT got a new scoreboard, so this code is no longer maintained.

• Perl Dancer framework
• SQLite as backend storage

Upgrade and configure CPAN.pm to bootstrap local::lib

perl -MCPAN -e 'upgrade CPAN'

Install required Perl modules

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Syntax::Keyword::Try'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::Touch'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install App::Cmd::Setup'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Plack::Middleware::Deflater'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::SQLite'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Dancer2'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Dancer2::Plugin::Database'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Dancer2::Session::Cookie'

Clone the git repository.

For testing, you can fire up the application with Plack, just go into the
Dancer app directory Devnull-Web and run:

plackup -p 5000 bin/app.psgi

Then just point your browser to http://your_ip:5000/

For production deployment a suitable application web server is needed.
start.sh and stop.sh scripts utilizing the
Starman
web server are provided. The main user-facing webserver needs to be
configured as a reverse proxy for the application webserver. Example of
Apache 2.4 config:

<Location /devnull/clanmgmt/>
ProxyPass         http://localhost:5000/
ProxyPassReverse  /
ProxyPreserveHost On
</Location>
