What?

Trying to creae a murderledger clone with some additional features, as an educational project.

Where?

https://albion.killarchive.fun/

How?

Using Ruby on Rails for everything.

Fetching events

• Fetching gets scheduled in config/initializers/scheduler.rb
• Events get analyzed and fed into the PostgreSQL database by the services in app/services/event_handler_service/

Showing events

Just the Rails way.

Contributing

This project needs a nice frontend design using HTML/CSS/Javascript and a lot of backend stuff for fetching and feeding from Albions API.
If you want to contribute to that, please feel free to open a PR for minor fixes or contact me via Discord to coordinate bigger changes/contributes.

Installing it locally

You can clone this Repo and host the project locally:

Dependencies

• ruby - currently 3.2.4 - consider installing via https://rvm.io/ or via package manager if you're on Arch Linux
• git - obviously
• postgresql - currently 16.3
• rails - gem install rails
• gems - bundle install --gemfile Gemfile
• redis - see redis.io
• ImageMagick - see imagemagick.org

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL needs to be setup, that can be different depending on environment...
Look at

• Arch Wiki
• Debian Wiki

When it comes to creating a user, do createuser --interactive, enter your username as role name and grant database creation perms, superuser not required.

Running

In the albion-killarchive directory, do:

bin/rails db:create
bin/rails db:migrate

and then start the Server via

bin/rails server

and the job executing (to fetch events) with:

bundle exec sidekiq -q default,5 -q low_priority,2

You should be able to open http://localhost:3000/ in your browser and see stuff.
