What’s Next?

Now that you have created your game, you may need to host the application. You can use the following services to host your game:

1. Railway

2. Netlify

3. AWS

4. Azure

5. Vercel

Important: Do not use Heroku for your app. Heroku restarts the server every 24 hours. NerFW uses SQLite as the database, basically it creates a file in the server and uses it as a database. When the server restarts, the file is deleted and the database is lost.

Containers

Some of the services mentioned above use containers to host the application. You can copy the following content to a file named Dockerfile in the root of your project to create a container for your application.

LABEL authors="nergan"

WORKDIR /app
COPY . .

WORKDIR /app
RUN pip install nerfw

EXPOSE 5000

CMD ["python", "main.py"]

This Dockerfile will create a container with your application and run it. To create the container, you can use the following command:

docker build -t my-nerfw-app .

To run the container, you can use the following command:

docker run -p 5000:5000 my-nerfw-app

Conclusion

You have created a game using NerFW. You have also learned how to host the application using containers. You can now share your game with your friends.

Have fun!
