I’m going to host a BombSquad server on my PC for a community but the biggest fear I have is having to share my IP. Is there anyway to host the server on glitch? and then have people access it by its address like bombsquadgh.glitch.me?
Here is a link to the site that has all bombsquad versions
I believe @youngchief did it once.
Very good to hear it’s possible! I’ll try to find it through their profile or something.
Edit: Found it, says do not remix though 
Bombchief (glitch.com)
Trying to host it using the official linux file but then it errors this:
Launching server subprocess...
Exception in thread Thread-1:

Here is how the folders and files are placed
The start line is python3 bombsquad_server
Should I change it?
Here is the editor link btw, you should be able to see the files
bombsquadgh (glitch.com)
So, it is saying Error 13 (permission error) when it tries to execute bombsquad_headless (also idk what is with its contents, older versions of bombsquad linux server are the same.)
Should I try another version?
I’ll give you the details later today!! I’m busy rn
Also even setting up more crazy things is possible 
Alright! Take your time, and thanks for coming here!
More Info:
Let me know if you have any questions!
Try running this in the terminal to mark the file as executable:
chmod +x ./bombsquad_headless
That did fix the bombsquad_headless problem! But another one is here:
Launching server subprocess...
./bombsquad_headless: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.8.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You know what’s the actual weird thing? It is programmed that the bombsquad_headless is not in a folder but it is actually under the dist/ folder. I’ll set it to just open bombsquad_headless in dist/. If I got a result, I’ll edit this reply
Edit: I ran the command in the terminal for the ./dist/bombsquad_headless not ./bombsquad_headless
@youngchief also, I’m setting up the localhost tunnel using ngrok, didn’t figure it out much but I’m close! Thanks for the info btw!
Uh I’m a little confused on how to do that with glitch since I cant really see the other folders? 
How can I do that with glitch? The sudo command isn’t recognized in the terminal I think, unless I’m doing it wrong
I’d recommend remixing my project again for a fresh start
Alright! So, I remixed it but it says this error
/usr/bin/env: invalid option -- 'S'
Try '/usr/bin/env --help' for more information.
By the way, thanks to everyone that replied here!
Also, is there anything I should do? I know about the config and I wanna disable telnet, so I think commenting it will do the job? Also, I ran that command in the terminal:
Usage: /usr/bin/env [OPTION]... [-] [NAME=VALUE]... [COMMAND [ARG]...]
Set each NAME to VALUE in the environment and run COMMAND.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-i, --ignore-environment start with an empty environment
-0, --null end each output line with NUL, not newline
-u, --unset=NAME remove variable from the environment
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
A mere - implies -i. If no COMMAND, print the resulting environment.
GNU coreutils online help: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/>
Full documentation at: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/env>
or available locally via: info '(coreutils) env invocation'
Should I set it to ignore environment? I won’t use telnet anyways
Comment out the thing I put in the .env
You should be fine
Also make sure that tunnel is setup on the project or it will fail
Alright so, tunnel is ready to be run. The env error was in the bombsquad_server where at the top of the file it has the #!/usr/bin/env -S python3.8 -O even though it looks okay. I can evade this by setting the start to be python3 instead of nothing.
Then I got a Module ‘yaml’ not found error but fixed it by installing it by pip3 install pyyaml.
Got that same error again: ./bombsquad_headless: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.8.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Looking at this thread it says you should type ldconfig in the terminal, but then this error:
/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied
Any ideas?
Glitch doesn’t allow users to write outside of the /app folder. Could you play around with it and see if you could install it in the app folder?
Been trying to play around with it to use cache and config in a folder in the project, sometimes I do run the command and outputs nothing but when I enter the ldconfig command, it still says the same error
Edit: asking about the ldconfig on other platforms so we can progress. If we really need root access, then I’ll try contacting Glitch
I’ll look at my code and see how I ran it, but how I did it I didn’t need root access
Ah ha! I found what has been going on.
pip was installing to the Python2 directory not Python3 which is what the server software uses
Working on a fix right now
Can you let me know what tunnel service you are using??
I am using ngrok. There’s a JS localhost tunnel npm module but not using it atm because I need to make sure the server works first. Anything will be fine!
