I really wish I had created more game boards :/ I just got Mogade's leaderboard on my app up and running, and now I have to look for an alternative.

Karl, this was a wonderful leaderboard. I'm sorry to see it in its current state, but I was wondering if there are alternatives you can suggest instead.

Sincerely,

Shaun

You could run an instance of Mogade on your own server. The code is open source.

I'm also sad to see it go. As for alternatives, there is https://playtomic.com/, which I can say nothing about but which seems nice, http://scoreoid.com, which has a horrible API (really, really strange), but great people that will react very quickly to your questions. Another one is https://www.flox.cc/, a promising newcomer.

I know Karl has shut down new games with Mogade and ceased development but being open source are there any objections to forking the system, setting it up on a new server, and running it again? I think it's a great service and was sad to see it shut down so rather than flocking to some new system, why not breathe some new life into Mogade?

I certainly have no problem with it. But, to set expectations, the main development focus was to get it up and running for me...it's open source, but it isn't fork and run like, say, wordpress might be. I'm happy to answer any questions or help out a bit though.

On a related note, I often said that if I was to do it again, I'd exclusively used Redis instead of MongoDB + Redis.

Is there an overview somewhere on how to install a Mogade server from the github sources (main steps and dependencies)?

Been a while since I did it fresh, but a bundle install followed by a cp config/settings.sample.yml config/settings.yml is a good place to start ... (I realize that likely isn't close to what you were looking for..)

Indeed not entirely ;-) But I'm very much determined to get it to work so it's a start and a nice incentive to get to learn Ruby/Rails.
