mpc-autofill

Automating MakePlayingCards's online ordering system.

The below guide describes the procedure for setting up the web component. If you're here to download the clientside program, check the Releases tab.

Requirements

requirements.txt for the web application and local tool combined exists in the repo as well.

Web application:

JS libraries:

• bootstrap@4.6.0
• jquery-ui-touch-punch@0.2.3
• slick.js@1.8.1

Other:

• Bootstrap Superhero
• Elasticsearch (probably easiest with Docker)
• A Google account

Setup

1. Clone this repo somewhere on your server
2. In the same directory as the repo, create a folder called staticroot for static assets
3. Deploy the Django project (I'm using DigitalOcean for Ubuntu) with a webserver (I'm using Apache) and serve static files with another webserver if you want (I was previously using nginx but now I just serve static files with Apache as well)
4. Run Elasticsearch
5. Set up your Google Drive credentials in the MPCAutofill directory (base Django directory). You should set up a Google Drive service account and store your credentials as client_secrets.json
6. Run the command manage.py import_sources to sync sources in drives.csv to database, and manage.py update_database to populate the database (optionally specifying a particular drive to sync with -d <drivename>)
7. Create a cronjob to periodically run the database updater command, to ensure MPC Autofill reflects the current state of the linked Drives, and another cronjob to periodically synchronise the double-faced cards table with Scryfall:

• 0 0 * * * bash /root/mpc-autofill/update_database >> /root/db_update.txt 2>&1
• 0 0 * * SUN bash /root/mpc-autofill/sync_dfcs

8. Deploy two Google Script according to the code specified in autofill.py and adjust the URLs in that script to point to your GS endpoints
