SportsBuddy

Website of the App:

Heroku server (live testing)

Motivation:

This app was initially created as the Final Project of CS50's Introduction to Computer Science.

Website's functionality: Create sports events and centralize information of matches. Theme Motivation of this app: Difficulty of meeting people, for the practice of sport, for any kinds of reasons. If you recently moved to a new country/region or have lost contact with your friends, you can use the website as a tool for socializing and play sports.

Database Diagram

For the database modeling, a diagram with each table and relationships was created for the SportsBuddy application:

Getting Started

Data Initialization

• Use the file configure-postgres.sql in order to give your PostGresSQL database the necessary configuration. This way we can properly use the different profiles: dev and prod.
• Use the file start_data-postgres.sql to initialize tables and constraints in your PostGresSQL database. So just run the application for the first time, it will automatically input data if not existent.

Via Docker

1. After changes run docker build -t sportsbuddy . in a project root directory to build application image.
2. After image is fully built, run docker run -d -p 8080:8080 sportsbuddy to start the image
3. With a browser, access the app via http://localhost:8080/
4. (Optional) run docker logs -t <container> to see the logs

Notes:

Database for testing is in-memory type, for fast and convenient usage. It will be updated in the future. You won't be able to send the message via e-mail, unless account details are changed in application.properties file
