trackday

A small race monitor for carrera digital.

Setup

Trackday uses a SQLite database to store race and driver data. Initialize/reset the database via:

. ./venv/bin/activate
rm app.db
rm -rf migrations
flask db init
flask db migrate
flask db upgrade
flask seed

Run the server locally via virtualenv

. ./venv/bin/activate
flask run

Point your browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000 to access the app

Localization

Wrap all strings to be localized in _l() calls. For templates use: {{ _() }}

Initialize babel via pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -k _l -o messages.pot .. Generate the german language catalog via pybabel init -i messages.pot -d app/translations -l de. Compile the language files via pybabel compile -d app/translations.

To update the translation do pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -k _l -o messages.pot . to collect new translation, update the language files via pybabel update -i messages.pot -d app/translations. After that you need to recompile using pybabel compile -d app/translations.

USB Serial Connection on Mac

You can check via ioreg -c IOSerialBSDClient | grep usb where the serial connection is available.

Update the raspberrypi

• connect to raspberrypi via the deploy user using ssh deploy@raspberrypi
• change to trackday directory and pull the latest changes from git
• restart the server via sudo supervisorctl restart trackday
