Running OZKi BOT

Once the installation steps have been completed, you can run the OZKi BOT webapp as explained in this section.

What is OZKi BOT?

The OZKi BOT is a demo web application provided by the OZKi team to show how to use OZKi framework and integrate the ozki-toolkit library with a web application.

The BOT is a fictitious gaming service which offers WebGL gaming application to the users. The game service has the following three requirements:

• It is designed around the concept of ID-less service design in which the server knows nor stores any user's PII. The portal uses this approach to ensure the most effective way to protect the privacy of its users.

• It is a subscription-based service. Users must pay for the service via PayPal.

• Exception is made for Cal students, staff, alumni, etc., where access is free. Basically no subscription is required for members of the UC Berkeley communities with @berkeley.edu google email domain.

Supported platforms

The webapp has been tested on the following OS platforms:

• Ubuntu 20.04 and other similar distros.

• macOS

Please use the Chrome browser or other chrome-derivative browsers such as Brave, Opera, etc. Note that the Firefox browser currently does not work with OZKi BOT pages.

How to run it

Before running the OZKi BOT, please make sure you have installed OZKi and its dependencies on the system. See Installation.

To run the portal app locally, you need to run both the oracle and the portal web services as shown below.

Open a terminal window to start the oracle service.

$ cd ~/ozki/ozki-oracle
$ npm run start

Open another terminal window to start the portal service.

$ cd ~/ozki/ozki-bot
$ npm run start

Open a browser and navigate to: http://127.0.0.1:3000.

you will see OZKi occasionally alternates between localhost and 127.0.0.1. The reason for this is while PayPal requires the local address to be 127.0.0.1, Google authentication requires the 'localhost' name.

The OZKi BOT home page should look like the following.
