[CI] Give ccache room to hold a configuration (#7667)
* [CI] Re-assert the ccache timestamp sloppiness after configure

CMakeLists.txt sets sloppiness=pch_defines,time_macros at configure
time, and ccache --set-config replaces the whole list rather than
extending it. Setting the four entries before cmake would therefore
leave the build with only two, so the entries CI needs have to be
written after the configure step and before the build.

The mtime and ctime entries cover files created during the build
itself: moc/uic/rcc output and protobuf headers are generated after
ccache starts, so without them every TU that includes one is read as
a race and never cached. Checked-out sources are older than the
compile that follows them and do not trip the check.

* [Build] Keep risky ccache sloppiness out of the global config

USE_CCACHE defaults to ON, so CMakeLists.txt runs on a developer
machine, and ccache --set-config writes the user's global ccache.conf.
The include_file_mtime/include_file_ctime entries turn off the
modified-during-compile check for every project on the machine, not
only this one, so they belong in CI (compile.sh) and not here. The two
entries PCH caching needs stay.

* [CI] Size each compiler cache against the cache quota

The 600M bound sat below what a leg writes: ccache spent each build
deleting the entries the next run asked for, with 2624-3720 cleanup
passes and about 8% of calls served in the runs inspected on
2026-11-04.

Raising it needs room first. The repository's 10 GB quota currently
holds 1.1 GB of CodeQL trap, 1.1 GB of vcpkg, 0.7 GB of Qt and 2.1 GB
of docker buildkit layers. Two of those are now cheap to reclaim:

- docker-release wrote its layer cache with mode=max, but the build
  stage sits behind COPY . ., so its compile layer is invalidated by
  every source change and was never read back. mode=min keeps only the
  final image stage.
- the five nightly-only legs kept their own compiler caches, 600M
  each, that no pull request ever reads. They now keep none, and the
  prune job retires their leftover keys immediately instead of waiting
  for GitHub's whole-entry LRU eviction to pick them.

That funds per-leg bounds: 700M for one configuration, 850M for the
Debian 13 release that also runs the suite, 900M for Fedora 44's
Debug and Release, 800M for the instrumented leg, 400M for the
server-only leg, and 700M for each macOS leg. 6.45G of ccache plus the
3.2G of fixed entries leaves about 350M under the quota.

The prune step also covers the buildkit entries by age now, so the
mode=max generation of layer blobs is reclaimed instead of living
forever: a layer a build needs is downloaded and its date refreshed,
and dropping one that an index still lists only costs docker-release a
rebuilt layer, which gates nothing.

Cockatrice

Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform application for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents users from manipulating the game for unfair advantage. The client also provides a single-player mode, which allows users to brew while offline.

This project uses C++ and the Qt libraries.

Code

To commit code to the project, please review our Contribution Guidelines first.
We maintain two tags for contributors to easier find issues to potentially work on:

  • Good first issue
    Issues tagged in this way provide a simple way to get started. They don't require much experience to be worked on.
  • Help wanted
    This tag is used for issues that we are looking for somebody to pick up. Often this is for feature suggestions we support, but don't have the time to work on ourselves.

For both tags, we're willing to provide help to contributors in showing them where and how they can make changes, as well as code reviews for submitted changes.
We'll happily advice on how best to implement a feature, or we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along - put a note on an issue you want to discuss more on!

You can also have a look at our Todo List in our Code Documentation or search the repo for \todo comments.

Documentation CI Docs

There are various places where useful information for different needs are maintained:

Cockatrice tries to use the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide to ensure consistent documentation.
We encourage everybody to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.

Translation Transifex Project

Cockatrice uses Transifex to manage translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice and Oracle to your language and just adjust single wordings right from within your browser by visiting our Transifex project page. The Webatrice web client manages its own translations in its repo.

Check out our Translator FAQ for more information about getting involved, and join a group of hundreds of others!

Build CI Desktop CI Docker

Dependencies: (for minimum versions search our CMake file)

Oracle can optionally use some packages to load compressed card files:


Basic compilation steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then

  • Create a Cockatrice installation inside the release folder:
    make install
    
  • Or make an installation package specific to your system:
    make package
    

Note

Detailed compiling instructions can be found in the Cockatrice wiki at Compiling Cockatrice


The following flags (with their non-default values) can be passed to cmake:

Flag Description
-DWITH_SERVER=1 Build Servatrice server
-DWITH_CLIENT=0 Don't build Cockatrice client
-DWITH_ORACLE=0 Don't build Oracle card database tool
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug Compile in debug mode
Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings
-DWARNING_AS_ERROR=0 Don't treat compilation warnings as errors in debug mode
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source code
Note: make clean will remove the .ts files
-DTEST=1 Enable regression tests
Note: make test to run tests, googletest will be downloaded if not available

Tip

Build code documentation (Doxygen) according to our configuration into /docs:

doxygen Doxyfile

Run

Cockatrice is the game client
Oracle fetches card data
Servatrice is the server

Docker

You can build an image & deploy a Servatrice (Cockatrice server) container using Docker and our Dockerfile yourself.

For more details, look into our wiki section on Setting up Servatrice.
You'll also find more hints on our pre-build image there, or the docker-compose file which will configure and run both a MySQL server and Servatrice.
