docker run -p 5701:5701/udp unitydronesserver:latest

Check that the docker container is running:

Start multiple clients and connect

Run on Kubernetes on Azure

You can run Building and Running with Docker to create a new image, then run the following commands: (Replace <USER_NAME> with your docker hub user name)

docker tag unitydronesserver:latest <USER_NAME>/unitydronesserver:latest
docker push <USER_NAME>/unitydronesserver:latest

Follow instructions to setup a new kubernetes cluster on Azure under: k8s/setup.sh.

Deploy a new application using:

kubectl create -f k8s/app.yaml

If you want to use your own image, change k8s/app.yaml and replace morshemesh with your own user name.

Wait until the Service is done deploying on kubernetes and has a Public IP
Use that Public IP and set server_ip under Assets/Scripts/Client.cs.
Build/Run the client for Windows.
