# Setup Ephemeral jamulus Server
> This project will help you create a game server with jamulus on it. You can create an IAM image with packer with arma and deps installed. You can create a jamulus server with that image using terraform

# Getting Started
## Create a .pem file
Create a .pem file either locally or on AWS and import it here. it could be called `jamulus.pem`

## Building the IAM Image

Use packer to create the IAM image. `aws_ubuntu20_jamulus.json` is the main packer file with `scripts/deps.sh` being what runs when packer is building

**Building on linux:**
```
# Validate your changes
$ packer validate
$ build.sh <your aws key> <your aws secret>
```

**Building on windows:**
```
# Validate your changes
> packer build -var "aws_access_key=<your aws key>" -var "aws_secret_key=<your aws secret>" -var .\aws_ubuntu20_jamulus.sjon
```

**Building with CI/CD**

Simply commit and push to gitlab. Go to the pipeline and accept the manual action.

## Create the server

Set up AWS profile vereto in the `~/.aws/credentials` file

```
# Do a dry run (WILL NOT CREATE SERVER)
$ terraform plan

# Make the server (WILL CREATE BILLABLE SERVERS)
$ terraform apply
```

Changing the region of deployed server can be done under the provider standza

Changing the instance class can be done under the `aws_instance.jamulus` stanza
