Clustered Installation

With this installation model, some of the components required to run the GameBench platform are deployed to different servers.

The GameBench platform is composed of:

• Front-end
• Back-end
• User control
• Redis
• Elasticsearch
• Postgres
• MTA

Of these, in clustered set-ups, the following would be split out:

• Redis
• Elasticsearch
• Postgres
• MTA

Requirements

• Linux
• Docker 1.12+
• Docker Compose 1.6.0+
• Credentials for our private Docker registry
• A valid GameBench enterprise license
• Only ports 80, 443 and the port you select for the backend should be externally accessible

Getting started

Log into the GameBench Docker registry

You’ll need your credentials for our Docker registry supplied to you by your account representative. Please get in touch with support@gamebench.net if you are unable to log in and we’ll be happy to assist.

If you have been provided with quay.io credentials:

docker login -u <username> quay.io

Alternatively if you have docker.gamebench.net credentials:

docker login -u <username> docker.gamebench.net

Please note that docker.gamebench.net is deprecated and will be unavailable from 27/08/2019.

During the running of the following command, you’ll be prompted to choose whether Elasticsearch, Postgres, Redis or the MTA are running externally. Entering “yes” will result in further prompts for the connection details.
