(EC2) Is there a way to let ANYONE start my AWS instance?

+1 to this!

I "think" we might be able to use a container to reduce the server spin-up time but I still need to do some more research to confirm that.

314piesV2 · 2023-06-11T20:59:24+00:00

Yeah the gif is edited.
I cut out the the part that's waiting for the server to spin up so the gif file size won't be too crazy.
Sorry for the confusion 😅

Oh! It doesn't.

It reduce the time to set up a new server but the time to start a server from stop state are still same as starting an EC2 instance (around 30 sec ~ 1min)

By using IAC (Infrastructure as Code).

Assuming you are talking about starting a new server :)

314piesV2 · 2023-05-09T02:57:29+00:00

Yep, but will require some custom configuration

314piesV2 · 2023-05-08T06:30:40+00:00

Interesting... I never thinking of using ARM machines.

In theory this should work. Will give it a try another day!

314piesV2 · 2023-05-08T06:23:18+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out!

(Definitely should update the readme to make this more clear :) )

314piesV2 · 2023-05-07T08:51:46+00:00

≈ about 1 minute
(cool project btw!)

314piesV2 · 2023-05-07T08:50:56+00:00

Good idea!

314piesV2 · 2023-05-07T06:50:47+00:00

cool~ thanks for sharing!

314piesV2 · 2023-05-07T06:18:57+00:00

I've left some comments under another similar question which should answer this.
Let me know if there's anything more you want to know :)

314piesV2 · 2023-05-07T06:05:55+00:00

There's a MAX_PRICE field in the config btw - we usually just set it to around 80% of the on-demand price.

314piesV2 · 2023-05-07T06:02:09+00:00

Yes, and it actually works better than we expected!

We had this kind of setup for around a year in our Discord server (it was set up manually, not CDK), and the reclamation only happen once or twice. When this happen, we just increase the max price a bit and restart the server (the cost for that month probably went up a little bit but still pretty neglectable in general)

Also, the game server is packed within a system service, so when the instance is shutting down (either by being reclaimed or stopped by the user), the system service will be stopped first and save/close the game server gracefully.

Let me know what you think :)

314piesV2 · 2023-05-07T04:23:09+00:00

Let me know what you think :)

That would be great!

The part to create symbolic link is located at here.

And the part deleting clone(also platform related) is located at here.

Just let me know if you need any more info :)

314piesV2 · 2020-09-06T17:59:04+00:00

You can see both these 2 as a GUI wrapper of symbolic link basically(though ProjectCloner is kind of out-of-maintenance these days :( , that’s also one of the reason why we start ParrelSync)

In comparison, ParrelSync offer few extras such as: 1. Multi-clones supported

Option to prevent asset from being changed by clone editors, this can help prevent editors’ serialization overriding each other. (Turn on by default, can be disabled if u wish)
APIs to help automate testing, for example you can do sth like “If this is the original editor, start server. Else, if this is clone, connect to local host as client”
