[Krydos] Websockets ports

[gofterdom]

Hello,

I've just set up a Tommy account for a small scale 2D MMORPG using html, js, node.js websockets.

username : gofterom domain : citadel server : tommy

I've just realized ports are not open on that plan, so the websockets don't work.
 

I am very new to all this. Could you please help me ?

The FAQ says :

 

• With the help of a root admin, you could get an Nginx proxy set up. To explore this option, please post a request in our Customer Service forum, making sure to provide your username, domain name, server name, and details about your websocket application, and we'll be happy to help.

Krydos can help with this.

Whether this will actually work though is going to depend on the application you're running. Most game servers end up needing a VPS.

I'm guessing Krydos is a person, not a protocol ?

Sorry I'm new to all this.

I wouldn't mind upgrading to VPS but this project is such small scale that i was not looking for any recurring expenses, I liked the one time fee solution !

Thank you for your time.

Websockets do work on Morty, Tommy, and Johnny, but like it says on the FAQ you have to be able to proxy it through Apache or Nginx. This isn't a big deal because even on a VPS you probably shouldn't expose the websocket directly to the internet. Both Nginx and Apache do a much better job of handling SSL for wss:// and help protect you from whatever random vulnerabilities your websocket software has.

I would say that on Tommy your bigger concern is going to be going over the 200 GB memory limit. In order for a websocket to listen 24/7 it needs to be running 24/7 and that is going to use a lot of memory. If you switch to Morty you can have unlimited memory. If you switch to a VPS you get SSH command line access as well.

If you want to continue to try to set this up on Tommy the next step would be to follow this guide, but instead of the Discord bot run your websocket software instead. If you get it working I can set up Nginx to reverse proxy to your websocket.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. As i said, I am very new to all this, i thought the 200gb size limit was the size of the files we could upload >< And i'm not sure what would be the use of a SSH command line ?

You said there was a guide to follow but i couldn't find a link in your message, could you please send it again ?

Thank you for your time.
