Freeze the running offline FUT backend into version control as fifa17-recon/docker/fifa17-python/ - declarative and rebuildable from a fresh checkout: * OPENFUT_BIND / OPENFUT_ADVERTISE client/server split in the responders (lsx, blaze, roster, utas, pow) + entrypoint.sh; OPENFUT_ADVERTISE is required for remote mode (compose and entrypoint fail without it) * docker-compose.yml reproducing the frozen baseline container exactly (env, ports incl. the 8085->8080 POW-content remap, /state bind, restart) * .env.example / .env for site config - the LAN IP is never hardcoded in source * tools/ + data/ staged from openfut-fut-backend:python-baseline-2026-08-10, verified byte-identical to the running container at freeze time * client_arm.sh (the 105 client-side arming counterpart) * Dockerfile bakes /app/SHA256SUMS.txt so any image is self-identifying * docs/BASELINE-python-2026-08-10.md: frozen image/container/hash record, restore instructions and rebuild-equivalence procedure Secrets (redir key/cert, .env) and runtime state (docker/state) stay gitignored. The live container is untouched pending the .105 launcher audit.
OpenFUT
Offline Ultimate Team — like SPT, but for FIFA 23.
OpenFUT replaces EA's retired FUT servers with a fully offline, single-player backend. You own FIFA 23 legitimately. You just want to keep playing after EA shut down the servers.

SQLite database
Core is game-independent. It speaks a clean REST API and knows nothing about FIFA 23 internals.
Bridge is FIFA-specific. It speaks FIFA 23's wire protocol and translates it into Core API calls. Bridge is where all reverse engineering work happens.

Running
# Start the offline backend
cd openfut-core
cargo run
# Start the proxy (for traffic capture / FIFA integration)
cd openfut-bridge
cargo run
Core listens on http://127.0.0.1:8080 by default.
Bridge listens on http://127.0.0.1:8443 by default.
Design Principles
- Offline-first. No EA account required. No internet connection needed.
- Single-player only. This is not a multiplayer server emulator.
- Data-driven. All cards, packs, SBCs, and objectives are JSON files. Everything is moddable.
- Clean architecture. Core has zero knowledge of FIFA 23. Bridge has zero game logic.
- No copyrighted assets. No real player images, no EA trademarks in data files.
