Pixelplanet deployment tutorial guide
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
I need a clear, beginner-friendly screen-recorded walkthrough that shows exactly how to take the open-source PixelPlanet repository from Git, install every prerequisite, and bring the site online under a working domain.
Scope and flow
• Start on a fresh Linux VPS (WSL on Windows is fine) and clone the repo.
• Install and configure Node.js / npm, Redis, MySQL, and any extra dependencies listed in the repository.
• Set up the database, import any seed data, and verify services are running.
• Configure basic DNS: point a test domain or sub-domain to the server and demonstrate that the canvas is reachable over the web.
• Record the entire process as a step-by-step video with on-screen written guidelines—no voice narration needed. Use any standard screen-recording tool you prefer (OBS, Camtasia, or similar).
• Close with a quick demo: place a pixel to confirm real-time functionality.
Deliverables
1. Final video file (HD, common format such as MP4).
2. A concise written checklist of the commands and configuration steps used, so viewers can copy/paste while watching.
The target audience is absolute beginners, so please keep the pace moderate, explain why each command is run, and highlight potential pitfalls (e.g., opening firewall ports, creating MySQL users). If you have questions about the repo, just let me know. I’m ready to start as soon as you are and look forward to your quote and timeline.
