Convict Conditioning Training

This is a little progress tracker for the exercises listed in the Convict Conditioning book by Paul Wade. A User can login with their Google account, all data is then stored according to that.

Look & Feel

Tech Stack

• The Frontend is written in Elm and styled with Bulma
• There is no real backend, data is simply synced to a Firebase Cloud Firestore, the database rules are setup as proposed in this helpful blog post by Julien Lengrand-Lambert

Dev Setup

• You'll need to have elm and create-elm-app installed
• You will also need to register at Firebase and setup a database, see blog post above
• Go to the project root directory
• Run $ npm install to install the firebase dependencies
• Prepare .env file with your firebase values as described in the blog post mentioned above
• Run $ elm-app start

Known Issues

• Exercise names are currently hardcoded in german, need to be pulled from an external resource that allows adding translations to different languages

Deployment

• $ elm-app build
• Copy build folder somewhere a web server is serving static files from
• E.g. a super simple nginx setup could look like:

  server {
    listen 443;
    server_name your.domain.com;
    location / {
      root /var/www/convict;
      error_page 404 =200 /index.html;
    }
  }

• A simple deploy script could look then like:

   #!/bin/sh
   ssh username@hostname "mkdir -p /var/www/convict" && \
     scp -pr build/* username@hostname:/var/www/convict

• Finally restart your webserver e.g. systemctl restart nginx
