ESDB is the API server for GGTracker. It is also involved in replay processing.

The other codebases used in GGTracker are:

• https://github.com/dsjoerg/ggtracker <-- the web server and HTML/CSS/Javascript for the site
• https://github.com/dsjoerg/ggpyjobs <-- the replay-parsing python server, included by ESDB as a git submodule
• https://github.com/dsjoerg/gg <-- little gem for accessing ESDB, used by the ggtracker codebase

• Ruby 1.9+ (get RVM: https://rvm.io/)
• Bundler 1.2.0+ (gem install bundler --pre)
• MySQL
• Memcached
• Redis
• Curl
• imagemagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/)
• An Amazon S3 account
• pip (https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html#id7)

On Mac OSX, you can use homebrew as package manager: http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

• Run Bundler (bundle)
• Copy and adjust database configuration (cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml)
• Create the database esdb needs, and the test database (mysql -u root and then create database esdb_development; create database esdb_test and then quit)
• Copy S3 configuration and put your AWS credentials and bucket names in it (cp config/s3.yml.example config/s3.yml)
• Copy fog configuration and put your AWS credentials and bucket names in it (cp config/fog.rb.example config/fog.rb)
• Copy and adjust redis configuration (cp config/redis.yml.example config/redis.yml)
• Copy and adjust esdb configuration (cp config/esdb.yml.example config/esdb.yml)
• Copy tokens configuration (cp config/tokens.yml.example config/tokens.yml)
• Run migrations: bundle exec sequel -m db/migrations -e development config/database.yml
• Import the data needed for Spending Skill: cat db/replays_sq_skill_stat.sql | mysql -u root -D esdb_development
• Set up an API identity for the ggtracker web server: cat db/ggtracker_provider.sql | mysql -u root -D esdb_development
• Initialize the ggpyjobs submodule with rake py:init
• Run migrations on test: bundle exec sequel -m db/migrations -e test config/database.yml
• Verify your install with rspec bundle exec rspec

foreman start

Then open your browser to http://localhost:9292/ If you see "Hello World!" then the ESDB server is running, congrats!

Next try opening this URL: http://localhost:9292/api/v1/spending_skill/am/protoss If you get a bunch of JSON spending skill data, then it really is working.

Next is to try uploading a replay; for that, you'll need to install the ggtracker webserver on your dev box.

If you run into any problems, please let me know -- it's probably my fault and I'll be happy to help you out!

• Run migrations on test: bundle exec sequel -m db/migrations -e test config/database.yml
• bundle exec rspec

If you see any security problems, please let me know ASAP! Thx :)

Just ask, I'll add questions and answers to a FAQ here.
