DeployRunner - Windows/Linux server and Unity Client

Rough Simple AF Utility to Remotely Deploy (FTP) and Run game builds over local network.
Initially intended as a sidekick for deploying and running unity builds over machines in my LAN, similarly to basic functionality any Console Devkit provides.

• Works on Windows/Linux
• Requires python 3.11+, pip, venv on remote machines

Install and Run

Preqrequisites:

• Clone this git repo or download a release
• Install Python (on windows make sure you add it to path)

On Linux:

• Use install_linux.sh script
• Run using run.sh script

On Windows

• Use install_windows.bat script
• Run using run.bat script

Unity (2022.3+)

• Create Symlink of the ./Unity/net.peeweek.deploy-runner/ directory in your project ./Packages/net.peeweek.deploy-runner/ directory, or reference directly the package using the package manager GUI.
• The pacakge is Editor Only, so it shouldn't bother your builds.

What it does (TL;DR)

• Runs an anonymous FTP Server (default on port 8021) so builds can be uploaded to Data Directory
• Runs a python HTTP server that helps manage builds remotely, using some old-school text API (not REST, nor JSON)
• Accepts HTTP requests to manage builds (delete, run, stop)
• Provides a Unity Package (inside Unity folder) with minimal code to interact with the server.
  • Hosts are saved as preferences (for convenience through projects)
  • Can upload builds from the editor, run them, delete them, kill them, attach the profiler to them

TODO

• Security, passwords, etc.
• Manage PEBKAC issues (for instance delete while running build)
