Full Stack application to rate new magic cards and see how others rated them.
Not hosted anywhere currently due to awful german data privacy laws, making it tough to host a small hobby website without exposing my own personal data or risking huge fines.
To run this project locally, run docker-compose up --build from project root after installing Docker. Find the website running at localhost or localhost:80.
The setup was only tested from WSL2 running Ubuntu, connected to Docker running on the host Windows 10 machine, but should work anywhere.
To deploy, modify the deploy.sh script to point to your instance url with your pem key, and appropriate target directory. Then modify compose.yaml and prod/compose.yaml to point the server service to your image repository (e.g. on dockerhub), and authenticate yourself with it.
Locally, run bash deploy.sh from root to build the components and transfer all necessary components.
On your server, navigate to the target directory and run docker-compose pull followed by docker-compose up -d. Your server should now be online, though you'll still need to change the server address in prod/nginx.conf, prod/frontend/nginx.conf and set up SSL encryption, e.g. via letsencrypt (see commented out certbot sections in prod/compose.yaml and prod/nginx.conf).
The project is composed of a React frontend using Material UI, a Rust backend using Tokio and Axum, a locally running Postgres Database (with manual backup script for AWS-based deployments) and a nginx reverse-proxy posing as the public interface of the server.
Most of the used technologies were new to me and I advise against following my solutions blindly, as few are optimal.
Local development is fully dockerized, whereas the production deployment builds the frontend locally and deploys the output manually, as building on the host machine required too much RAM on the AWS EC2 t3.nano instance.
The largest flaw in the project is that collections.json is manually updated in both the frontend and the backend.
The frontend needs it to optimize first load without a server roundtrip.
The backend needs it to set up tables and formats for request validation.
There certainly is a way of sharing this file with both in a sensible fashion, but I couldn't find one that satisfied the rust compiler without making the manual frontend deployment harder and gave up on it.
