Live Demo

A demo is available for free at https://www.bracketapp.nl/demo. The demo lasts for 30 minutes, after which your data will de deleted.

Quickstart

To quickly run bracket to see how it works, clone it and run docker compose up:

git clone git@github.com:evroon/bracket.git
cd bracket
sudo docker compose up -d

This will start the backend and frontend of Bracket, as well as a postgres instance. You should now be able to view bracket at http://localhost:3000. You can log in with the following credentials:

• Username: test@example.org
• Password: aeGhoe1ahng2Aezai0Dei6Aih6dieHoo.

To insert dummy rows into the database, run:

sudo docker exec bracket-backend pipenv run ./cli.py create-dev-db

See also the quickstart docs.

Usage

Read the usage guide for how to organize a tournament in Bracket from start to finish.

Configuration

Read the configuration docs for how to configure Bracket.

Bracket's backend is configured using .env files (prod.env for production, dev.env for development etc.). But you can also configure Bracket using environment variables directly, for example by specifying them in the docker-compose.yml.

The frontend doesn't can be configured by environment variables as well, as well as .env files using Next.js' way of loading environment variables.

Running Bracket in production

Read the deployment docs for how to deploy Bracket and run it in production.

Bracket can be run in Docker or by itself (using pipenv and yarn).

Development setup

Read the development docs for how to run Bracket for development.

Prerequisites are yarn, postgresql and pipenv to run the frontend, database and backend.
