Reverse engineered implementation of the Chrome Experiment RACER's server

RECAR

Reversed engineered server for RACER: The Chrome Experiment

DISCLAIMER

Re-hosting the official client may be against Google's license. We are not responsible for any damages caused.

Getting Started

Server

The server runs on HTTPS + WSS, so you need to create an SSL certificate and key using the following commands:

mkdir ssl
cd ssl
openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout server.key -out server.cert

Rename config.example.json to config.json and edit as necessary.

Start the server by running:

npm install
npm start

Client

As we need the official client which can be assumed non-redistributable, we use a downloader script to download (and prettify) the client straight from Google's servers:

# For prettification of minified source
sudo npm install -g prettier
./download_client.sh

This will create a client folder in your repo. Open client/assets/js/racer.js and replace lines containing <server_ip>:<server_port> with the corresponding values from config.json. Save and connect to the client via https://<server_ip>:<server_port>/racer/
