# Chess Platform
Self-hosted Lichess, powered by `lila`.
## ⚠️ Heavy + complex
Lichess.org's full production stack runs ~20 services + ML-trained Stockfish + opening books + endgame tablebases. **This room app ships the core gameplay subset** (lila + MongoDB + Redis + Stockfish), which covers:
- ✅ Real-time + correspondence games
- ✅ Local Stockfish analysis
- ✅ Tournaments + puzzles + study
- ✅ Profiles + teams + blog
- ❌ Broadcast service (separate service)
- ❌ Opening explorer (separate service + multi-GB data)
- ❌ Endgame tablebases (separate service + 1+ TB data)
- ❌ ML-trained insights
For a serious club deployment, this is the right starting point. For a clone of lichess.org's full experience, you'll add separate services.
## Packaging
Heavy AIO: lila (Scala/Play) + bundled MongoDB + Redis + Stockfish under one supervisor. **8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU**.
## CONFIRM-AT-BUILD
lila isn't published as an official Docker image; community builds exist on Docker Hub. We bake a minimal build from source — expect this to be a slow multi-minute first boot.
