docker_deployment_notes/splinterlands-bot-v2

Ultimate Splinterlands Bot V2 Thank you PCJones for creating this bot!

This is my implementation of the dockerized version of the bot. It is fatter than ontje-dev's version (341MB vs 129MB). But it builds faster!

• Note1: I can't seem get update checks to work on my version! due to a "config/version.usb" timestamp error. But it seems to work on ontje-dev's version

• Note2: If you rather use ontje-dev's version you can use their Dockerfile with the docker-compose-onteje-dev-version.yml included in this repository. Make sure you modify the BOT_VERSION in their Dockerfile to the version you want as described in my Dockerfile section.

To start deploying. Create all the folders and files below with the modifications specified.

##Threads = number of parallel accoounts.
##Threads are MUCH faster than in the browser mode

##Disable this if you want a cleaner log or you have problems with too many

version.usb (optional)

This file is not required to run the container. I got this file from the linux-x64.zip. It's used for an update check but I'm not sure why it fails in my container but not ontje-dev's.

Dockerfile

You need to modify ARG BOT_VERSION="2.9-fix2" to be on the latest version, if "2.9-fix2" isn't the latest version.

Check for latest version here: Ultimate Splinterlands Bot V2

Note: You may use ontje-dev's Dockerfile instead which has a smaller footprint.

FROM ubuntu:latest

ARG BOT_VERSION="2.9-fix2"

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget

# Add dotnet runtime to repository
RUN wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/21.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
RUN dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
RUN rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    apt-transport-https \
    dotnet-runtime-6.0 \
    unzip

RUN wget https://github.com/PCJones/Ultimate-Splinterlands-Bot-V2/releases/download/v${BOT_VERSION}/linux-x64.zip

RUN unzip linux-x64.zip || true

RUN rm -f linux-x64.zip

WORKDIR ./linux-x64

RUN mv Ultimate\ Splinterlands\ Bot\ V2 ultimatesplinterlandsbotv2

RUN chmod +x ultimatesplinterlandsbotv2

docker-compose.yml

Note: If you are using ontje-dev's Dockerfile, substitute this docker-compose with docker-compose-onteje-dev-version.yml

version: '3'

services:
    splinterlandsbotv2:
        restart: unless-stopped
        container_name: splinterlands
        build: .
        volumes:
            - ./config:/linux-x64/config
        command: "./ultimatesplinterlandsbotv2"
#       fordebugging... command: "tail -f /dev/null"

Running the Container

Type in docker-compose up -d to run the container! If this is the first time running it will take a while to build. Any subsequent runs will be started in seconds.

To check how the bot is doing live run docker logs --follow splinterlands otherwise to check the logs run docker logs splinterlands

Updating The Bot

To update the bot...

• Run docker-compose down inside the splinterlands folder to bring down the container
• Edit the Dockerfile argument ARG BOT_VERSION="2.9-fix2" to the version you want.
• After that, run docker-compose build to rebuild the image under the new version.
• Run docker-compose up -d to launch the bot.
• And as always you can watch what the bot is doing live with docker logs --follow splinterlands
