Nakama on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

Nakama is an open source realtime server for games and apps. It gives your client SDKs one backend for user authentication, realtime multiplayer over WebSocket, a matchmaker, parties and chat, leaderboards and tournaments, friends and groups, and a flexible storage engine, and it can be extended with server side runtime code in Lua, Go or JavaScript. A built in admin Console web UI lets you inspect accounts, storage, leaderboards, matches and server configuration.

It suits realtime multiplayer games, turn based games, social and chat features, live leaderboards and any app that needs low latency messaging between many connected users.

Common uses

• Run the backend for a realtime or turn based multiplayer game, with matchmaking and authoritative match handling
• Add accounts, friends, chat, parties and leaderboards to a social app or game
• Own your realtime game and app backend inside your own cloud account, with server side runtime code
