Arbiter 3.0 Deployment Guide

Location: Command Center (63.143.34.217)
Service: arbiter-3 (systemd)
Directory: /opt/arbiter-3.0
Dashboard: https://discord-bot.firefrostgaming.com/admin


⚠️ IMPORTANT: Arbiter is NOT a Git Repo

/opt/arbiter-3.0 on Command Center is not a git repository. It's a deployment target.

Source of truth: firefrost-services repo → services/arbiter-3.0/

Why? Production servers shouldn't have git credentials or .git history. Deploy by copying files.


Quick Deploy (One Command)

On Command Center:

curl -fsSL https://git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-services/raw/branch/main/services/arbiter-3.0/deploy.sh | bash

Or if deploy.sh is already on server:

bash /opt/arbiter-3.0/deploy.sh

Manual Deploy

# On Command Center
cd /tmp
rm -rf firefrost-services
git clone https://git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-services.git
cp -r firefrost-services/services/arbiter-3.0/src/* /opt/arbiter-3.0/src/
systemctl restart arbiter-3
rm -rf firefrost-services

Verify Deployment

# Check service status
systemctl status arbiter-3

# Check logs
journalctl -u arbiter-3 -n 50

# Test dashboard
curl -s https://discord-bot.firefrostgaming.com/admin | head -5
