# Hosting a Multiplayer server
|
|
|
|
Due to certain limitations on Dropbox's API, with the current influx of players, we've many times reached the point that Dropbox has become unavailable.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, you can now host your own Unciv server, when not on Android.
|
|
|
|
To do so, you must have a JDK installed.
|
|
|
|
From the directory where the UncivServer.jar file is located, create a folder named "MultiplayerFiles", open a terminal and run the following line:
|
|
`java -jar UncivServer.jar`
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to use 'cd' to switch to the correct dictionary. Here's an example in Windows.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
D:
|
|
cd Games
|
|
cd unciv
|
|
mkdir MultiplayerFiles
|
|
java -jar UncivServer.jar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your server has now started!
|
|
|
|
In Unciv itself, from the same computer, enter Options > Multiplayer.
|
|
|
|
Enter the URL of the computer you ran the server on (or http://localhost)
|
|
|
|
If you click "check connection to server" you should now get "Return result: true", which means it's working!
|
|
|
|
For other devices, you'll need an external IP, which is out of scope for this documentation since there are many ways of achieving it.
|
|
|
|
On the other device, do the same - enter the URL, click 'check connection' from the new device, and if you got the same result - congratulations, you're both connected to the same server and can start a multiplayer game on the server!
|
|
|
|
Android has some restrictions and does not allow unencrypted HTTP traffic from the Unciv app to a server. So you need to have a reverse proxy that sits between your (Android) client(s) and the Unciv server. The reverse proxy then needs to have a valid certificate and handles the TLS sessions for your Unciv server.
|
|
|
|
Please note that devices NOT connected to the same server will NOT be able to participate in multiplayer games together!
