Parity is DEPRECATED and NOT FUNCTIONING. Do not run
yarn parity, the parity harness (manabrew-rs/crates/parity), the parity debugger, orDeterministicController. Do not limit or shape a change to keep parity behavior; ignore any instruction here that exists only to keep parity runs passing.
Headless room host. Connects to a relay, opens one or more lobby rooms, and
runs the games for everyone who joins — with the forge backend it spawns one
Forge JVM per concurrent game. Setup, Docker usage, and the full environment
variable reference live in the
self-hosting docs.
Signals
| Signal | Behavior |
|---|---|
SIGTERM / SIGINT |
Immediate shutdown: every room closes (relay sockets get a proper WebSocket close), games in progress end. |
SIGUSR1 |
Drain: stop starting new games, close each room once it has no game running, exit 0 when the last room closes. Games in progress run to completion. Use it to retire or replace a node. |
The --shutdown-on-stale flag (or SELF_HOSTED_NODE_SHUTDOWN_ON_STALE) is the
automated variant: the node polls the version manifest and, when a newer
release is published, exits once idle so a pull-on-restart supervisor respawns
it updated.
