Robot Game server code

Please use github issues for server code/infrastructure related tasks/bugs/feature requests.

Dev environment setup using Vagrant

First, download and install Vagrant and VirtualBox for your operating system. Run vagrant up from the terminal (for Linux and OSX,) or the command line (Windows) in the project directory. This should take 5-10 minutes (depending on your connection) and will set up your dev environment automatically.

When the above finishes, you should be able to view your local Vagrant server at localhost:8080 using your favorite browser. If you open that adress in your browser at this point you should get a 502 'Bad gateway' error from nginx, so ssh to your VM server and start the robotgame server ('sudo rg start'). Once 'rg' is started you will be albe to see a copy of the robotgame website on your localhost.

Run vagrant ssh to SSH into the VirtualBox VM running your server (use puTTy if you are running Windows). Make some changes and run rg restart to see those changes.

For more on using Vagrant, see the Vagrant documentation.

Workflow:

1. Fork and checkout project
2. Create a virtualenv and install requirements with "pip install -r requirements.txt".
3. Copy all the X.example files and remove the ".example" suffix, edit them according to your local environment. (If someone wants to explain in more detail what's involved here, please do so!)
4. Code to your satisfaction.
5. Make a pull request and wait for a committer to review and merge your code. Ping on IRC if it's taking more than a couple days to get a response. :)

Postgres setup

(This is automatically done by Vagrant, you don't have to do it on Vagrant VM). (Presumes a brand new, fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install)

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.4 postgresql-client-9.4
3. sudo -u postgres createuser --interactive
   1. role to add: robot
   2. superuser: n
   3. create databases: y
   4. create roles: n
4. Enter PROJECT_PATH/config
5. postgres -U robot -h localhost < db_schema.sql

rgsandbox setup

To clone rgsandbox, run git submodule update --recursive.

Notes

Thank you.

Yes, in the interest of getting this code out there, I'll leave README just as is. Feel free to elaborate and make this better and easier for a new dev.
