**MudClub v1.0-alpha: Almost, but not quite, completely usable (1k commits edition).**

[iangullo]

MudClub is a lightweight web-based application to manage a team sports club.

Requirements:
PostgreSQL v13 server - create a user that can create & manage databases.
Ruby on Rails 7 installation - including node.js & TailwindCSS
Any webserver configured to deploy the Rails application (automated installer assumes nginx).

Installation
There are now 2 alternatives:

• Use an automated installer - only for Linux systems. (NEW)

  • Debian package
  • RPM package
  • Shell script

• Manual install:

  1. clone or decompress source code in a suitable folder.
  2. Run "bundle" in the new mudclub root folder.
  3. Edit config/database.yml to setup the right database access.
  4. Run "rails db:create"
  5. Run "rails db:migrate"
  6. Run "rails db:seed"
  7. Run "rails secret" and paste output to config/secrets.yml
  8. Run "rails assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production"
  9. Optional steps
     • Create a dedicated user account / home folder to host the application.
     • Setup a local service to run server & bind to webserver automatically.

In both cases I strongly recommend that you

• Ensure sufficient storage is available to keep uploaded data (images, etc).
• Setup DNS & SSL to secure access to the webserver.

Changes from v0.9

• More bugfixing, code refactoring and optimizations.
• New features:
  • Coaches can create new players in their roster views.
  • Coaches can copy (clone) existing training events to their teams calendar.
• Aesthetic polish:
  • Added visual cues for invalid rows/columns in GridComponent when for match outings. Limitations are configurable in Sport Rules.
  • Use new ImageBox component to manage image uploads in forms.
  • Reorganised topbar menus.
  • improved styling of Buttons and Dropdowns.
