Environment Variables

export FIREBASE_CONFIG=... # the contents of the JSON file from step 9, as a single line

# these values come from the const firebaseConfig object you generated in step 11
export FIREBASE_API_KEY=...
export FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=...
export FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL=...
export FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=...
export FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=...
export FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=...

Use direnv to make this convenient so that you don't have to re-export these values into your environment each time you work on Gencon Planner

Dev Env Setup

• Install Docker Desktop
• Start the database in the background: $ docker compose up -d db
• Start the web server in the forgreound $ docker build --target web . $ docker compose up web

The web container depends upon the update container, which will download & parse the events spreadsheet from gencon.com in the background.

To reset all state, use docker compose down -v to clear the DB data volume, then follow the above steps again

Bootstrap local db from genconplanner.com

Instructions adapted from https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-import-export

• heroku pg:backups:capture --app genconplanner
• heroku pg:backups:download --app genconplanner
• docker exec -i genconplanner-db-1 pg_restore --verbose --clean --no-acl --no-owner -U postgres -d genconplanner < latest.dump

Alternate Dev Env

This setup uses a local postgres database and the heroku command. It may be more like the true run-time environment than the Docker version above.

• Install Heroku
• Install Postgres following instructions here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgresql#set-up-postgres-on-mac

To run server locally with Heroku, use ./build.sh && heroku local web

To update the event listing locally, use ./build.sh && heroku local update
