Installation & Setup

This guide covers everything you need to get the Classic Mafia Draft App running on your local network. Because this application acts as a local server, you will run the backend on a primary PC (the "Host") and connect your tablets, phones, and OBS software to it via Wi-Fi.

#Boot sequence When the server successfully boots, it will automatically open a server console window, then detect your network adapter and print your access links in it:

=== 🃏 MAFIA TOURNAMENT SERVER LIVE (v0.4.3) === Admin PC: http://localhost:3000 LAN Access: http://192.168.x.x:3000 =======================================

Keep this terminal open; closing it will shut down the tournament server. Server will also automaticly open the admin control panel in your default browser.

The Initial Security Setup

The first time you boot the application, it will recognize that no Master Admin Password exists.

  1. Create your Master Password. This hashes securely into a local store.json file on your machine.
  2. Do not lose this password. You will need it to access the Admin Console, verify streams, and perform factory resets.

Connecting Tournament Devices

Once the Master Password is set, the lobby is officially open. Take your player tablets, Judge iPads, or stream PCs, open their web browsers, and navigate to the LAN Access URL that your terminal provided in Step 2. All devices will initially join as Unassigned. The Tournament Organizer must now log into the Admin Console on the Host PC to authorize these devices as Players, Judges, or Streams.
