Games are no longer discovered from *.zip files on the SMB share; each game now has its own <name>.json manifest (name/title/zip/start_cmd) living next to its zip, discovered dynamically via smbclient. Nothing about a game's identity or how to install/start it is hardcoded in the image anymore. The setup page also grew Start/Stop/Uninstall buttons, backed by real process tracking (Popen + terminate/kill). Piloted on stuntcar only (manifest already uploaded to the share); t7g has no manifest yet so it won't appear until one's added. The old game.sh/start_game.sh docker-exec launch path is left as-is for now and overlaps with the new Start button - noted in TODO.md for later cleanup.

# TODO
|
|
|
|
- ~~Reduce image size of `jayfield/dosbox-novnc` (currently ~2.3GB).~~ Done in two steps:
|
|
1. Merged the game download/extract steps and the unzip/smbclient install into a single
|
|
layer (so the downloaded zips and the packages only needed to extract them no longer
|
|
persist in the final image). 2.31GB -> 1.6GB.
|
|
2. Stopped baking the games into the image at all (927MB of that was just t7g's two CD
|
|
ISOs). `run.sh` mounts a named volume (`dosbox-games`) so installed games persist
|
|
across `--rm` restarts. 1.6GB -> ~690MB. Container now needs network access to
|
|
`vlda-01` at runtime (not just build time) to install games.
|
|
3. Dropped the auto-download at container startup entirely. `scripts/setup_server.py` is
|
|
a small stdlib-only HTTP server (started alongside Xvnc/fluxbox/websockify) that serves
|
|
an HTML page on `${SETUP_PORT}` (`70${DISPLAY_NUM}`, published as `7099` by `run.sh`)
|
|
listing every `*.zip` on the SMB share with an Installed/Install status per game; the
|
|
user clicks "Install" to fetch+extract a specific game into `${GAMES_HOME}` on demand.
|
|
|
|
- **Manifest-driven games + Start/Stop/Uninstall (test balloon, `stuntcar` only)**: games are
|
|
no longer discovered from raw `*.zip` files on the share. `setup_server.py` now lists
|
|
`*.json` manifests instead (one per game, e.g. `Games\dosbox\stuntcar.json`), each
|
|
declaring `name`/`title`/`zip`/`start_cmd`. The web page grew Start/Stop/Uninstall buttons
|
|
alongside Install, driven entirely by that manifest — nothing about a game's identity or
|
|
how to run it is hardcoded in the image anymore. Only `stuntcar.json` exists on the share
|
|
so far (as a deliberate pilot); `t7g` has no manifest yet and will not show up in the setup
|
|
page until one is added (`t7g.json` with a `start_cmd` for its `dosbox-0.74-3.conf`).
|
|
`game.sh`/`scripts/start_game.sh` (the old `docker exec`-based launch path, with its
|
|
hardcoded `DOSBOX_VERSION`/`run.bat` convention) were intentionally left untouched for this
|
|
pilot and now overlap with the new Start button — worth reconciling (or removing) once the
|
|
manifest approach is rolled out to all games.
