runtime-modes

Running in client vs server mode​

  • The demo checks an environment variable to decide server mode: CELTE_MODE=server makes nodes run as server nodes. The helper CelteSingleton.gd exposes server_mode (true when CELTE_MODE == server).
  • Server-mode nodes typically run headless and register spawners/containers; client-mode nodes connect as players and request a server node via the lobby.

Server nodes should be started with the correct env vars and can be run in a container or Kubernetes pod with CELTE_MODE=server.
