This is a web registration application for the signup of exhibitors, staff and visitors at LUG events, i. e. LEGO® User Group (LUG) exhibitions.
The system was originally written for the registration of AFOLs (Adult Fans Of LEGO) for the LEGO KidsFest 2012 in Munich.
Currently still far too much of texts and structure is hard coded. All texts are of course available in german, but in the meantime most of them also have an english translation.
However, it is planned to further generalize this rails app in order to use it for several of the many AFOLs events in Germany, Europe and Worldwide.
Since 2016 the app is capable of managing events of several LUGs on the same database. Therefore, part of the UI is now dependent on the URL at which this app is accessed (e. g. the logo).
Help from other IT affine LEGO fans is very welcome ;-).
After cloning this repository do
bundle
to get all required gems.
The database configuration file config/database.yml includes the variables
DATABASE_NAME
DATABASE_USERNAME
DATABASE_PASSWORD
which you have to set in your environment for production.
Then
rake db:migrate
rake test
There is a Dockerfile provided for building a docker container for the App. The container can be build with
docker build -t brickevent .
in the root directory of the project.
The filed docker/docker-compose.yml.template and docker/mysql/my.cnf.template can be used to setup a complete distribution on a docker host.
You also have to configure the file config/environments/production.rb for your installation. You probably want this file to be mapped via a docker volume mount, see docker/docker-compose.yml.template.
You can use the simple script tools/generate_config.sh to create the configuration files with generated passwords from these templates. The script takes the docker directory as parameter.
Currently the app uses Rails 7.2 and Sqlite3/MySQL.
The application is multi-lingual (german/english at the moment), but texts in the content (e.g. event descriptions) only have a single field.
