David Alvarez 28ea711b24 Migrate backend from Go to Quarkus (Java 21 / JAX-RS)
- Replaced Go stdlib server with Quarkus (RESTEasy Reactive + Jackson)
- 7 Java classes: Game POJO, GameService (JSON file I/O), 4 REST resources, static file serving
- Same JSON-per-game storage, same ZIP upload + bundle creation
- Same Svelte frontend (unchanged), built into the JAR via maven-resources-plugin
- Multi-stage Dockerfile: Node → Maven → JRE runtime

Dostalgia — Quarkus Edition

A nostalgic DOS game hub. Upload your old DOS games, scrape artwork, and play them directly in the browser via js-dos (WebAssembly DOSBox).

Quick Start

# Build and run with Docker
docker build -t dostalgia .
docker run -p 8765:8765 -v $(pwd)/data:/data dostalgia

Open http://localhost:8765

Development (without Docker)

Terminal 1 — Frontend dev server:

cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev

Terminal 2 — Quarkus dev server:

mvn quarkus:dev

Open http://localhost:5173 (Vite proxies API calls to Quarkus on port 8765)

Production build (local)

cd frontend && npm install && npm run build
mvn package -DskipTests
java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar

Architecture

  • Backend: Quarkus (Java 21, JAX-RS) — ~5 REST resource classes, zero database
  • Frontend: Svelte 5 SPA with hash-based routing
  • Emulation: js-dos v8 loaded from CDN, runs DOSBox in WebAssembly
  • Storage: JSON-per-game under /data/games/{id}/game.json
