ODS
ODS is a simple French crosswords dictionnary web application. It displays a simple input form that users can use to submit words. The web application will return whether the words are valid or not in the French scrabble.
Dependencies
go is required. Though the code most certainly work on many operating systems, only go version >= 1.24 on Linux amd64 is being regularly tested.
Quick Start
There is a makefile with everything you need, just type make help (or gmake help if running BSD) to see the possible actions.
Use make build to build a static binary of the service, embedding everything.
The dictionary
The "Officiel Du Scrabble" (ODS for short) is what the official dictionary for the scrabble game is called. One very sad thing is that this dictionary is not free! You cannot download it digitally, which seems crazy for a simple list of words. You might use your google-fu and maybe find it on some random GitHub account if you look for it, but I certainly did not.
This repository relies on git-crypt to secure the content of my own dictionary file, sorry for not sharing it.
Systemd service
I use this simple systemd service unit to run ODS:
[Unit]
After=network-online.target
Description=ods.adyxax.org service
Wants=network-online.target
[Service]
DynamicUser=yes
Environment="ODS_PORT=8090"
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ods
Type=simple
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Nginx reverse proxy
I use this simple nginx configuration in front of ODS:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name ods.adyxax.org;
location / {
return 308 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name ods.adyxax.org;
error_page 404 /404.html;
location / {
include headers_static.conf;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8090;
}
ssl_certificate adyxax.org.fullchain;
ssl_certificate_key adyxax.org.key;
}
