VTES tournament management

Tournament management

📋 For detailed architecture and design information, see DESIGN.md

Quick Start

For detailed development setup instructions, see DESIGN.md.

Basic Installation

nvm install node
nvm use node
python -m virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
make update

Windows Users

Four options for Windows users:

• Use Chocolatey as package manager and choco install make
• Use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) feature
• Just install the GNU make binary for Windows
• Don't use make at all. The Makefile is just a shortcut, you can open it and copy/paste the commands in your Powershell.

Using Homebrew on OSX

You can use Homebrew on Linux or OSX to install Python and its dependencies. Don't forget to update the CA certificates from time to time.

brew reinstall ca-certificates openssl

Tools & Frameworks

We are using standard tools and frameworks that make update will install and update for you. See DESIGN.md for detailed technology stack information.

Make targets

• make geodata download and refresh the geographical data in geodata
• make test runs the tests, formatting and linting checks
• make serve runs a dev server with watchers for auto-reload when changes are made to the source files
• make clean cleans the repository from all transient build files
• make build builds the python package
• make release creates and pushes a git tag for this version and publishes the package on PYPI

CLI

The archon CLI gives access to useful DB-related commands when developing in local.

Settings

This software requires some environment settings for multiple functionalities:

VEKN credentials

Used to collect the VEKN members list, and publish events and their result.

export VEKN_LOGIN="<vekn_login>"
export VEKN_PASSWORD="<vekn_password>"

VEKN API

For now, this app uses the VEKN API to declare and report events. There is an online documentation.

export VEKN_PUSH="<vekn_push_token>"

Site configuration

Base URL for the application (used for generating links in emails and API responses):

export SITE_URL_BASE="http://127.0.0.1:8000"

Discord credentials

Used for the Discord social login. You need to register a Discord Application.

export DISCORD_CLIENT_ID="<discord_client_id>"
export DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET="<discord_client_secret>"

Application secrets

Secrets for various security features. Make sure you use different secure random secrets for different environments.

export SESSION_KEY="<sign_session_cookie>"
export TOKEN_SECRET="<sign_access_token>"
export HASH_KEY="<hash_user_passwords>"

You can use openssl to generate each of these secrets:

openssl rand -hex 32

Email (SMTP) parameters

Used to send the "password reset" email necessary for the basic email login feature. Note that if you're using GMail, you probably need to generate an Application Password for this application.

export MAIL_SERVER="smtp.gmail.com"
export MAIL_PORT="587"
export MAIL_USERNAME="[e-mail]"
export MAIL_PASSWORD="<app_password>"
export MAIL_FROM="[e-mail]"
export MAIL_FROM_NAME="Archon"

Deployment

For deployment information, see DESIGN.md.

API Reference

For detailed architecture and design information including offline mode, event-driven architecture, and state management, see DESIGN.md.

Tournament States

Tournaments progress through the following states:

• PLANNED: Initial state. Registration is closed. Only judges can register players.
• REGISTRATION: Registration is open. Players can self-register and judges can register players.
• WAITING: Check-in is open. Players must check in to play the next round. They can still self-register.
• PLAYING: A round is in progress. Judges can add/remove players to the round. Players can self-register for next one.
• FINALS: The finals round is in progress.
• FINISHED: Tournament is complete.

State transitions:

• PLANNED → (OpenRegistration) → REGISTRATION
• REGISTRATION → (CloseRegistration) → PLANNED
• REGISTRATION → (OpenCheckin) → WAITING
• WAITING → (CancelCheckin) → REGISTRATION
• WAITING → (RoundStart) → PLAYING
• PLAYING → (RoundFinish/RoundFinish) → REGISTRATION
