Scribble.rs

Scribble.rs is an alternative to the web-based drawing game skribbl.io. My main problems with skribbl.io were the ads and the fact that a disconnect would cause you to lose your points. On top of that, the automatic word choice was quite annoying and caused some frustration.

The site will not display any ads or share any data with third parties.

There are some community hosted versions of the game (feel free to host your own instance and add it here!):

• scribblers.fly.dev (Official instance, Note that the instance may not respond instantly, as it automatically shuts down if no traffic is received.)
• scribble.bixilon.de (community instance maintained by @Bixilon)

Configuration

Configuration is read from environment variables or a .env file located in the working directory.

Available settings:

For more up-to-date configuration, read the config.go file.

Docker

Alternatively there's a docker container:

docker pull biosmarcel/scribble.rs:latest

Starting from v0.8.5, docker images are only built on tagged pushes. Each git tag becomes a docker tag, however latest will always point to the latest tag.

There's also biosmarcel/scribble.rs:windows-latest in case you are interested in running a native Windows container.

Building / Running

Dependencies:

• go version 1.22 or later
• git (You can also download a .zip from Github)

In order to download and build, open a terminal and execute:

git clone https://github.com/scribble-rs/scribble.rs.git
cd scribble.rs
go build ./cmd/scribblers .

This will produce a portable binary called scribblers or scribblers.exe if you are on Windows.

Pre-compiled binaries

In the Releases section you can find the latest stable release.

Alternatively each commit uploads artifacts which will be available for a certain time.

Changing default port

The default port is 8080. To override it, run:

docker run --pull always --env PORT=<port> -p <port>:<port> biosmarcel/scribble.rs:latest

nginx

Since Scribble.rs uses WebSockets, when running it behind an nginx reverse proxy, you have to configure nginx to support that. You will find an example configuration on the related Wiki page.

Other reverse proxies may require similar configuration. If you are using a well known reverse proxy, you are free to contribute a configuration to the wiki.
