Supporting multiple games#

It is possible to host lobbies for not just one, but multiple games using nohub.

Running with a single game#

To track only a single game, enable NOHUB_LOBBIES_WITHOUT_GAME, and set NOHUB_GAMES to an empty list.

This way, sessions won’t belong to any game by default, and won’t be able to do so either. Thus, lobbies won’t belong to any games either.

Running with multiple games#

Make sure to configure NOHUB_GAMES to the list of games hosted on your nohub instance. To support any game, not just the ones configured, enable NOHUB_SESSIONS_ARBITRARY_GAME_ID. This will allow clients to submit any game ID they want.

To require each session to belong to a game, disable NOHUB_LOBBIES_WITHOUT_GAME. This will reject lobby creations unless they belong to a game.

With multiple games, each session is restricted to the game they belong to. They won’t be able to list, query, or join lobbies that belong to other games.
