• Add roles/web-app-chess/files/Dockerfile using build ARGs (CHESS_VERSION, CHESS_REPO_URL, CHESS_REPO_REF, CHESS_ENTRYPOINT_REL, CHESS_ENTRYPOINT_INT, CHESS_APP_DATA_DIR, CONTAINER_PORT). Enable Corepack/Yarn as root in the runtime stage to avoid EACCES on /usr/local/bin symlinks, then drop privileges to 'node'. • Delete Jinja-based templates/Dockerfile.j2; docker-compose now passes former Jinja vars via build.args. • Update templates/docker-compose.yml.j2 to forward all required build args. • Update config/main.yml: add CSP flag 'script-src-elem: unsafe-inline'.

Chess
Description
castling.club is a federated chess server built on the ActivityPub protocol.
It provides an open and decentralized way to play chess online, where games and moves are visible across the Fediverse.
Overview
Instead of relying on closed platforms, castling.club uses an arbiter actor (“the King”) to validate moves and mediate matches.
This ensures fair play, federation with platforms like Mastodon or Friendica, and community visibility of ongoing games.
The service runs as a lightweight Node.js app backed by PostgreSQL.
Features
- Federated Chess Matches: Challenge and play with others across the Fediverse.
- Rule Enforcement: The arbiter validates each move for correctness.
- Open Identities: Use your existing Fediverse account; no new silo account needed.
- Game Visibility: Matches and moves can appear in social timelines.
- Lightweight Service: Built with Node.js and PostgreSQL for efficiency.
