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.

Run ./build-cli.d to build and prepare a cli executable that you can use to run the Gymboard CLI.

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.
