Deployment

Currently, sockdrive reporistory has only one active deployment, is sockdrive.js-dos.com:8001. Geographically it is located in Europe, because of that speed can vary between regions.

We are looking forward to maintainers from other regions. If you want to create a sockdrive mirror, please let me know.

New deployment

You are also able to create your own sockdrive server with own drives, and run it locally or globally.

sockdrive server should work fine on any linux distribution like Ubuntu. Download the server and unpack it somewhere.

Folder structure:

- backend         // sockdrive server executable
- cli             // sockdrive cli interface
- config/         // configuration directory
  - props.json    // configuration file
  - drives/       // drive storage  
  - templates/    // drive templates

included templates:

fat16-256m — empty 256Mb drive formatted in fat16
fat32-2gb — empty 2Gb drive formatted in fat32

included drives (./cli list system):

owner	name	description
system	fat16-256m	Blank drive based on corresponding template
system	fat32-2gb	Blank drive based on corresponding template
system	test	Test drive used in backend unit tests
system	dos7.1-v1	DOS 7.1 with CDROM support
system	win95-v1	Minimal (256Mb) Windows 95 installation
system	win95-v2	Windows 95 (2Gb) with daemon tools
system	win98-v1	Windows 98 (2Gb) with daemon tools

configuration file properties (config/props.json):

property	description	default value
cert	path to ssl certificate file for wss:// support	js-dos.com certificate
key	path to ssl certificate key file for wss:// support	js-dos.com certificate
port	server port to use	8001
templates	path to folder with templates	./config/templates
drivers	path to folder with drives	./config/drives
premium	list of emails that have full access to sockdrive even if this emails does not have js-dos subscription	dos.zone, caiiiycuk@gmail.com

To start the server run backend executable:

./backend

At the beginning server will print configuration used and information about port used, like this:

2024-06-28T03:26:21.456339Z  INFO backend: started non-secured server on 0.0.0.0:8001

Now you can use it with js-dos player, just add your server as sockdrive endpoint:

Dos(document.getElementById("dos"), {
    sockdriveBackend: {
        name: "custom",
        host: "localhost:8001",
    },
});

Open file limits

You should increase the limit of open files, edit /etc/security/limits.conf add the following lines:

* soft nofile 1000000
* hard nofile 1000000

And restart PC.
