c4pt000 / room

Work In Progress of cryptocurrency-based poker room. Based on Bitcoin Poker Room project. It is NOT FUNCTIONAL yet.

Install under Ubuntu 14.04

Basic System Setup

Required software:

• GIT
• MySQL Server 5.x
• Python 2.7
• Apache Web Server 2.x
• Memcached
• Build tools
• Python libraries

First install all required software:

apt-get install mysql-server git apache2 memcached build-essential python-twisted \
                python-mysqldb python-simplejson python-memcache python-libxml2 \
                python-libxslt1

Our implementation of python-poker-network software uses /dev/random. Check it if it produce a lot of data by default (cat /dev/random) - you need 1-5 Kb/s minumum. If this do not happen you need to install rng-tools:

apt-get install rng-tools

And configure it to use initial data from /dev/urandom. To do this edit file /etc/default/rng-tools and insert following line at the end of the file:

HRNGDEVICE=/dev/urandom

Restart rng-tools by:

service rng-tools restart

Create new virtual host config file:

vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/room.conf

With similar configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName room

  <Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>
  ProxyPass /POKER_REST http://localhost:19384/POKER_REST retry=1
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/ retry=1
</VirtualHost>

Enable new settings:

a2ensite room.conf
a2enmod proxy proxy_http
service apache2 restart

Alternative Install Poker Network Software

python2 only

sudo apt-get -y update; 

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential checkinstall git-core mysql-server \
                        python-pip python-twisted python-mysqldb \
                        python-mysqldb-dbg memcached python-memcache \
                        python-simplejson python-cjson python-cjson-dbg \
                        python-libxml2 python-libxml2-dbg python-lxml \
                        python-lxml-dbg python-libxslt1 python-libxslt1-dbg \
                        python-pypoker-eval gettext; 
sudo pip install git+git://github.com/pokermania/reflogging.git; 
sudo pip install git+git://github.com/pokermania/pokerdistutils.git; 
sudo pip install git+git://github.com/pokermania/pokerengine.git; 
sudo pip install git+git://github.com/pokermania/pokerpackets.git; 

apt-get install python-poker-network    # from precise

Install and configure Room

Install Module::Install from Ubuntu repositories:

apt-get install libmodule-install-perl

Install Catalyst and Catalyst::Devel and other libs from Ubuntu repositories:

sudo apt-get install libcatalyst-devel-perl libcatalyst-perl \
libcrypt-ssleay-perl libobject-signature-perl

Next you will need to install all dependencies for this project. Dependencies will be download from CPAN. Since there are a lot of them it may make sense to enable auto installation of dependencies. To do this, simply bring up a CPAN shell:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

And run these two commands in the CPAN shell:

o conf prerequisites_policy follow
o conf commit

To install all dependencies:

perl Makefile.PL
sudo make installdeps

Check output to see any errors. In my case I had to force-install DBIx::Class::FrozenColumns due failing some tests:

sudo cpan -fi DBIx::Class::FrozenColumns

Copy room-sample.conf to room.conf and edit it inserting correct login/passwords for pythonpokernetwork database, bitcoind, twitter, GA, etc.

Import new schema:

mysql -u root pythonpokernetwork < schema_dump.sql

Replace stock Python Poker Network source code with Room's code

Find where Python Poker Network and Python Poker Engine installed:

find /usr -name "pokerclient.py"
find /usr -name "pokerclient.py"

In my case it was /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages and /usr/share/pyshared. Rename existing pokernetwork and pokerengine folders into something else and create soft links to Room's code:

cd /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
sudo mv pokerengine pokerengine.old
sudo mv pokernetwork pokernetwork.old
sudo ln -s ~/projects/Room/lib/ppn/pokerengine pokerengine
sudo ln -s ~/projects/Room/lib/ppn/pokernetwork pokernetwork

And repeat for /usr/share/pyshared.

Install Python bitstring and oauth2 packages:

sudo apt-get install python-pip 
sudo pip install bitstring 
sudo pip install oauth2

And restart poker server:

sudo /etc/init.d/python-poker-network restart

Start Room

From project's home folder run:

./script/room_server.pl -r -f 

Navigate to http://room/ or whatever domain you created for this project.
