    Bot Tom Frag

    Recommended Posts

    Heya

    I've recently wanted to get back into developing and maintaining a large scale bot farm. I've run a few farms in the past but scaling, maintenance and deployment were extremely time consuming and eventually led to me shutting them down.

    With my recent interest in Kubernetes, and Containerization I thought it would be a fun / great learning experience to make a large scale cloud-agnostic bot farm with a complex scheduling system that made it trivial to scale and deploy multiple self-maintained farms. I imagine booting up any brand new computer, running one or two lines of code, and that computer instantly becoming a client that can immediately host a number of bots. And likewise, I imagine purchasing or creating a new account, adding its details to a database, and the scheduler immediately being able to deploy that account to whatever machine it sees fit, and with whatever script would be most beneficial based on the accounts stats/quests.

    I've already gotten a lot of the framework done and have a DreamBot container deployable to any system, working on integrating with Kubernetes and making a Scheduler.


    Does anyone else get excited by the idea of this, or am I just a nerd? =P

    Biggest things when starting with docker/kubes:

    - Set log rotation limits

    - Run on native linux not virtualised or its not worth the overhead of kubes

    - Ensure proxies are working correctly within the image (loopbacks within script etc wont be able to talk to anything on the docker network if on a proxy)

    - Always ensure the gamepack.jar and client.jar are up to date on your images 

    - Always use "Fresh start" && "Remove all traces"

    - Set FPS to something that is reasonable (you dont need 30fps to bot - a game tick can be as low as 50ms on RS so should only need 12FPS to catch all tick changes)

    - Invest/Code high quality scripts with mule support. There is no point going down the kubes/docker route until you have the vast majority of the farm automate. Aint no one got time to be manually muling that many accounts

    - Optimize the amount of clients per docker image to miximise CPU cycles

    - Benchmark, Benchmark, Benchmark - Some small changes will have huge effects on the performance of the VM.
