Gymboard
Leaderboards and social lifting for your local community gym.
Gymboard is a platform for sharing videos of your gym lifts with the world, from your local gym to the world's stage.
Architecture Overview
Gymboard is designed as a sort of hybrid architecture combining the best of microservices and monoliths. Here's a short list of each project that makes up the Gymboard ecosystem, and what they do:
| Project | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 💻 gymboard-app | TS, VueJS, Quasar | A front-end web application for users accessing Gymboard. |
| 🧬 gymboard-api | Java, Spring | The main backend service that the app talks to. Includes auth and most business logic. |
| 🔍 gymboard-search | Java, Lucene | An indexing and searching service that scrapes data from gymboard-api to build Lucene search indexes. |
| 🗂 gymboard-cdn | Java, Spring | A minimal content-delivery service that manages general file storage, including video processing. |
| 🛠 gymboard-cli | D | WIP command-line-interface for managing all services for development and deployment. |
| 📸 gymboard-uploads | D, Handy-Httpd | WIP dedicated service for video upload processing, to extract functionality from gymboard-cdn. |
Development
Gymboard is comprised of a variety of components, each in its own directory, and with its own project format. Follow the instructions in the README of the respective project to set that one up.
A docker-compose.yml file is defined in this directory, and it defines a set
of services that may be used by one or more services. Install docker on your
system if you haven't already, and run docker-compose up -d to start the
services.
WIP:
A build_apps.d script is available to try and build all projects and collect
their artifacts in a build/ directory for deployment.
Eventually, this functionality will be merged into gymboard-cli.
Local Environment
The requirements to develop each project depend of course on the type of project. But in general, the following software recommendations should hold:
| Type | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Java | Latest LTS version, latest Maven version |
| VueJS | Vue 3, with a recent version of NodeJS and NPM or similar. |
| D | D toolchain (compiler + dub) for D version >= 2.103, DMD recommended compiler |
Docker is recommended for running local dependencies like DB, mail server, message queues, etc.
