An own chess server?

[KLc]

Hi,

I have a pool of (Linux, UCI) chess engines that I would love to play remotely from my cell phone (maybe with a proper chess set aside). I was wondering about solutions to this. I have a web server running Linux, so some sort of web interface with chess board and where I can select from various engines and set time control would be perfect. Is there anything like this? Installing an own lichess server may work but this seems to me as an overkill at the moment and the engine integration via bots is also a bit annoying. I'd prefer something simple.

GNU FICS maybe?

Do you have a link? I know FICS of course but I don't know how/what to install. And isn't this XBoard only!?

XBoard has UCI adapter

You can configure remote network engines under Droidfish and calculate using your PC hardware.

I've tested it - works fine, but prefer using a remote session to see my desktop through an encrypted VPN to play or analyze on my home hardware when away.

Perhaps one of these options will suit your needs.

Droidfish looks promising. Is there anything similar for iOS? I don't have an Android.

Well, I was actually thinking about this but too much fiddling. There's no convenient way to manage several engines; I would have to setup a separate account for each of them.
