worldcubeassociation.org

This repository contains all of the code that runs on worldcubeassociation.org.

Setup

• Install Vagrant, which requires VirtualBox.
• git clone https://github.com/cubing/worldcubeassociation.org - Clone this repo! (And navigate into it, cd worldcubeassociation.org)
• git submodule update --init --recursive - Initialize submodules.
• (cd WcaOnRails; bundle install) && pre-commit install - Set up git pre-commit hook. Optional, but very useful.

Run in Vagrant (easier and gets everything working)

• vagrant up noregs - Once the VM finishes initializing (which can take some time), the website will be accessible at http://localhost:2331.
  • Note: Starting up the noregs vm is much faster than the all vm, because the dependencies required to build the WCA regulations take ages to install.
  • Note: There are some minor issues with development on Windows.
• All emails will be accessible at http://localhost:2332.
• Please take a look at this wiki page for more detailed informations about the application's internals.

Run locally ruby (lightweight, but only run the rails portions of the site)

• We don't support development with sqlite3, you'll need to set up MySQL.
• Mailcatcher is a good tool for catching emails in development.

Provision New VM

• Provisioning relies upon SSH agent forwarding, so make sure you've set up an SSH key for cubing@worldcubeassociation.org in order to rsync secrets.
• time ssh -A user@example.com 'sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cubing/worldcubeassociation.org/master/scripts/wca-bootstrap.sh -O /tmp/wca-bootstrap.sh && sudo -E bash /tmp/wca-bootstrap.sh staging/production'
