Resources to run game on own server #39

Closed TheOnlyDGS closed 1 year ago

TheOnlyDGS commented 1 year ago

Hi guys,

If I install the treasure hunt game on my own server and 100 players play the game what kind of web hosting do I need?

Will it work with a shared web hosting like dreamhost? https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/shared/

If not, what hosting type will be required?

Thank you, Dipankar

Hello Dipankar, sorry for the delay. Do you mean 100 individual teams? If you have 100 participants but they are subdivided in teams, only the team “leaders” (the ones talking to the bot via Telegram) will be interacting with the server, so the load will be lighter. However, a minimal shared host should be enough: our most intense games did run on a very basic server with 2 GB of RAM and 2 CPUs and the was almost no noticeable load, so I think you should be fine.

Let me know how it goes or if you have issues with the game. :)

Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it!

Yes, I mean 100 individual teams. How many teams did your most intense games have?

I just checked and our largest game had 203 individual teams in total (I'm not entirely sure all of them played and did so concurrently, but the majority did).
