To host it on your own server:

# install the server
npm install -g dudes-server
# start the server:
dudes-server ./config.json

Docker image:

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
  server:
    image: 'danigatunes/dudes-server'
    restart: always
    ports:
     - "127.0.0.1:8081:8081"
    volumes:
     - "./data:/data"

# place config.json in ./data
# run: docker-compose up -d

To use it as a node module:

const WebSocket = require('ws');
const VoxelServer = require('dudes-server');

const world = new VoxelServer({
  world: {
    width: 400,
    height: 96,
    depth: 400,
  },
});

const server = new WebSocket.Server();
server.on('connection', (client) => (
  world.onClient(client)
));

console.log(`Listening on port ${server.options.port}`);
