Installing a High Score Party Server

PARTY-SERVER-INSTALL

The following HOWTO shows how to install a complete FujiNet server for LAN party use.

The following components are included:

• TNFS server with High Score Enabled Games
• Web Server, with High Score boards

Installing TNFS server with High Score Enabled Games

Step 1: Install Ubuntu Server 22.04

Install Ubuntu Server 22.04 with default settings, for your system. Follow the instructions.

Once this is done, become root:

sudo -i

When prompted, enter the user password that you specified at install.

You should now be in root's home directory (/root)

Step 2: Install git, and the required build tools

apt -y install build-essential git 

Step 3: Create the tnfs user

''(the tnfs group will automatically be created)''

useradd tnfs

Step 4: Use git to retrieve the TNFS server

git clone https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/spectranet.git

Step 5: Compile the TNFS server

cd spectranet/tnfs/tnfsd

make OS=LINUX

Step 6: Install the TNFS server to /usr/local/bin

install -o tnfs -g tnfs bin/tnfsd /usr/local/sbin/tnfsd

Step 7: Make the /tnfs directory

This will be used to store the files served by TNFS.

mkdir /tnfs
chown tnfs:tnfs /tnfs

Step 8: Install and start the TNFS systemd service

install tnfsd.service /etc/systemd/system

systemctl enable tnfsd

systemctl start tnfsd

You can check the status of the service with:

systemctl status tnfsd

At this point, the TNFS service is now running.

Step 9: Fetch the high score enabled repository.

Now we need to fetch the High Score Enabled repository, with all of its games, and tools, using 'git'

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-high-scores.git

Step 10: Copy High Score Enabled Games to TNFS

cd fujinet-high-scores/atari-blank-games/
chmod ugo+rw *
chown tnfs:tnfs *
cp * /tnfs

Step 11: Allow connections to TNFS

Ubuntu Server ships with the 'ufw' firewall enabled, so TNFS connections must be allowed. TNFS uses UDP port 16384.

ufw allow 16384/udp

Step 12: Test TNFS server

With the nearest #FujiNet equipped Atari, boot into CONFIG, set the host slot to the network address or hostname of the new server, and try to load a game.

If this works, the TNFS server is ready. Now to set up the web server.

Setting up the Web Server

Step 1: Install nginx-full

Start, with installing the web server.

apt -y install nginx-full

Step 2: Allow HTTP traffic

Use 'ufw' to allow HTTP traffic.

ufw allow http

Step 3: Replace the index.html

cd fujinet-high-scores/atari
cp index.html /var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html

Step 4: Build and install the score scrapers

Each score scraper needs to be built and installed into /usr/local/sbin.
