This is an application to handle automatic deployments of the mit-tab application

This app is a very light wrapper ontop of the DigitalOcean App Platform API, as the deployments themselves are no longer very complex. In particular, the deployer:

• Creates a database instance for the app
• Creates an App Platform instance connected to that database and the nu-tab.com domain
• Charges users for the deployment using Stripe
• Deletes tournaments automatically

Development

Pre-requisites: External accounts

Digital Ocean

The deployer manages deployments to Digital Ocean. (The entire deployer app is essentially just an API call to Digital Ocean's App Platform API). You will need to create a DigitalOcean account with an API key. If you wish to test the subdomain set-up, you must also have the DNS of that domain managed by DigitalOcean (instructions).

Stripe

Test mode stripe credentials are necessary to test the deployment flow.

Installation

To run this app, you will need:

• MySQL (8.0+)
• Redis

Install these according to your local environment (e.g. brew install mysql redis).

Then, install the python dependencies:

pip install uv
uv insall

Environment Variables

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in the necessary values.

Running

With MySQL and Redis running:

# Run migrations if necessary
uv run --env-file .env flask db upgrade

# Start the web server
uv run --env-file .env flask run

In another tab, start the celery worker to process deployments:

uv run --env-file .env ./bin/start_celery
