Teerank is a simple and fast ranking system for Teeworlds. You can test the lastest stable version at teerank.io.
# Production
$ docker-compose up --build
# Run tests loop
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-test.yml -p teerank-dev up --build
# Development server at localhost:80
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-development.yml -p teerank-test up --buildI usually launch tests and the development server on two different shells. When a source file is changed, tests will be run again and the development server will be relaunch with the new version. Hence once the containers are launched there is no need to run them again: just refresh your page in the browser and check test logs and that's it.
This project is a reboot of teerank.com. The former was written in C and used SQLite. While good, this technologies are arguably not the best tools in the box for making a ranking website.
This project instead relies on Python, Redis and Flask. Performance is not really a concern so Python is a good language of choice, as it improves developement speed and is accessible to more people. Redis is handy because it provides a way to sort our players directly while SQLite doesn't.
Finally, the old teerank frontend was a C program compiled into a CGI which then was plugged into Nginx. It worked, but it was difficult to setup. We choose to use Flask, because it fit our needs and Flask deals with all the nasty parts under the hood.
Also the domain teerank.com expired by accident, and was immediately cyber-squatted. They refused my buying offers, so at some point I stopped the server and let the project die. Now the domain is available again but due to the premium system for .com demains, it costs more than a thousant dollars, which is not something I want ot pay for a pet project. That's why teerank is now available at teerank.io.
