Getting ready to start

there are five steps to start using our orchestrator it should only take a few hours to get set up, but before you start, make sure that you've got everything you need a working game server executable that runs on linux an automated build pipeline, like jenkins or circleci a machine with docker installed (linux or windows build) team or large docker hub account (hub docker com/pricing) we use docker to containerize your game our orchestrator uses containers to split the load evenly across the world docker is an open source platform that lets you build, deploy, run, update and manage these containers following best practices there are a few best practices you should follow if you want to get the most out of our platform add versioning to your builds versions are essential we use these to determine which image to pull, based on what’s already available on a machine give each image a unique tag while there are several different ways you can approach tags, we recommend using unique tagging every image that you use should have a completely different tag and you should never reuse tags keeping your dockerfiles trim and tidy we recommend you go through the best practices https //docs docker com/develop/develop images/dockerfile best practices/ for writing dockerfiles to optimize your container and build efficient images
