frontier-team-builder
This tutorial is designed for users of Debian GNU/Linux who wish to self-host a version of PvPoke.com, an MIT licensed Pokémon GO project designed by KakunaMatata. The primary purposes of PvPoke.com are to allow lovers of the game to build a collection of Pokémon suited for battle, called a battle party and to provide rankings on Pokémon for particular cups, called metas. In my case, I run two Discord “servers” dedicated to Pokémon battling and both communities have teams that I lead which create custom metas and then host Swiss tournaments (both team and individual) for these metas. A project like PvPoke.com provides a lot of value. It allows our meta development team to create well-built metas and helps participating trainers build battle parties that are well-suited for the associated tournaments that leverage those metas. For this reason, we decided to fork the project so that our meta team could use a development version to design future metas and a white-labeled and stripped down production version that would help our participants build for and participate in those metas. Additionally, I've developed a set of automated bash scripts, production readying/hardening steps, steps for maintaining, updating, and pulling from upstream for both the development and production isntances. Finally, I've also developed documentation on how to use the original project and/or our development and production versions that serve other grassroots Pokémon GO communities interested in doing something similar.
