Unreal Engine Horde

[henrykie]

The design and implementation of a Terraform module for provisioning Unreal Engine Horde build system on AWS is in the works. We'd like to get feedback from the public on features this module should have. This is also a great place to ask general questions concerning Horde deployments.

Hey @henrykie, it's exciting to see AWS aware of this. We plan to deploy Horde via Terraform by the end of this month.

Is there something WIP you could share? I am super curious to see what your approach to architecture will be. We are currently building around ECS and the Docker images via Unreal's Build Graph.

I am sorry, I am blind. I saw your submit from earlier today. I will get digging through it.

No worries! Happy to chat if you need.

The module currently pulls the docker containers from Epic's GHCR. You can also build your own, but will need to update the module to pull the image from somewhere else. This is configured here:

cloud-game-development-toolkit/modules/unreal/horde/local.tf

Line 11 in c2589d9

image = "ghcr.io/epicgames/horde-server:latest-bundled"

Thanks for the reply. We've been playing around with your module since and spotted it the source.

We had some troubles with the DNS setup, but that's all on us and mainly caused by our domain registrar.
We will most likely end up forking it and change the URL/parameterising the image you highlighted it but still build on top of it.

Thanks again for going through the trouble of building it.
