cold-path-server-podman: the Cold Path game server in a container
cold-path-server-podman is a
new repository that runs the Cold Path
multiplayer game server inside a Podman container, so no LuaJIT, LuaSocket, or
LuaSec install is needed on the host. The upstream sources aren’t vendored —
the image build pulls them from GitHub, and make build / make run / make logs
handle the rest.
