A clone of the classical Pac-Man game

The game runs entirely in the browser, and is served by a simple NodeJS backend which stores highscores and user stats in a MongoDB database.

npm install

npm run start

npm run dev

It assumes a mongodb server running locally. The easiest way is to use a container, e.g.:

podman run -d --name mongo -p 27017:27017 mongo:5.0.27

The Dockerfile performs the following steps:

1. It uses the ubi9/nodejs-18-minimal from Red Hat as base image.
2. It clones the Pac-Man game (static files and code of backend) into the configured application directory.
3. It exposes port 8080 for the web server.
4. It starts the Node.js application using npm start.

To build the image run:

podman build -t <registry>/<user>/pacman-app .

You can test it by running:

podman create --name pacman -p 8080:8080 --pod new:pacman-app <registry>/<user>/pacman-app
podman create --name mongo --pod pacman-app mongo:5.0.27
podman pod start pacman-app

This will start a mongodb instance and the pacman webapp as two container images running in the same pod.

Go to http://localhost:8000/ to see if you get the Pac-Man game.

Once you're satisfied you can push the image to the container registry.

podman push <registry>/<user>/pacman-nodejs-app

s2i build . ubi9/nodejs-18-minimal pacman
