Timing and Racing Around the Clock Server Code

TRAC (YC W16) aimed to simpilfy the track and field timing process. Through RFID hardware (see other repos for embedded code and designs) you could push split times to the server. From there the mobile web, Android and iOS apps long polled for splits.

Built for google appengine, code for the trac platform

Getting started

Follow these steps to get the development server up and running on your local machine.

1. Clone the source code

   $ mkdir trac-dev && cd trac-dev
   $ git clone https://github.com/elliothevel/trac-gae.git
   $ cd trac-gae
   

2. Set up a virtual environment and install the dependencies

   $ virtualenv venv
   $ source venv/bin/activate
   $ pip install --no-deps \
       -r requirements/production.txt \
       -r requirements/test.txt
   

3. Sync the database (by default into a SQLite database, see settings.common.py for more info)

   $ ./manage.py syncdb
   

   Enter your superuser information when prompted.

4. Install some test data from the test fixtures

   $ ./manage.py loaddata fixture.json trac_min.json teams.json
   

   This also creates an account with username alsal that has some sample results.

5. Start the development server

   $ ./manage.py runserver
   

   Go to http://localhost:8000/ to see the site.

How to dump data for backup

$ python manage.py dumpdata \
    --format=json \
    --indent=4 \
    --natural \
    -e sessions \
    -e admin \
    -e contenttypes \
    -e auth.Permission \
