MLB LED Scoreboard in the Cloud
65 pts 1 month ago · game dev · devops
Deployed a live MLB LED scoreboard to the cloud using Docker and Fly.io. Built on RGBMatrixEmulator and the mlb-led-scoreboard project, the setup is simple: containerize the scoreboard, expose the emulator port (8888 via websocket). The approach generalizes to any project using the hzeller rpi-rgb-led-matrix library. Key insight: creates on-demand, live sports scoreboards accessible online. Current concern is WebSocket bandwidth costs for streaming raw frame data. Multiple versions available including World Baseball Classic support at wbc.mlb-led-scoreboard.dev.
