<!-- /TOC -->


## Prerequisites
- you need `docker` and `docker-compose-plugin` installed. Follow the [docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) on how to do this.

## Quickstart

- create a new directory, e.g.  `monkeytype` and open it.
- download the [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype/tree/master/docker/docker-compose.yml)
- create an `.env` file, you can copy the content from the [example.env](https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype/tree/master/docker/example.env).
- download the [backend-configuration.json](https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype/tree/master/docker/backend-configuration.json)
- run `docker compose up -d`
- after the command exits successfully you can access [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)


## Account System

User signup/login is disabled by default. To allow users to signup you'll need to setup a Firebase project. 
Stop the running docker containers using `docker compose down` before making any changes.

### Setup Firebase

- create a [Firebase](https://firebase.google.com/) account
- create a [new Firebase project](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/).
  - name "monkeytype"
  - uncheck "enable google analytics"
- enable authentication
  - open the [firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/) and open your project
  - go to `Authentication > Sign-in method`  
  - enable `Email/Password` and save
- generate service account
  - open the project settings by clicking the `⚙` icon on the sidebar and `Project settings`
  - go to `Service accounts`
  - click `Generate new private key`. This will download a `.json` file.
  - store the `.json` file as `serviceAccountKey.json`
  - update the `docker-compose.yml` file and uncomment the first volume from the `monkeytype-backend` container
    ```yaml
      #uncomment to enable the account system, check the SELF_HOSTING.md file
      - type: bind
        source: ./serviceAccountKey.json
        target: /src/credentials/serviceAccountKey.json
        read_only: true
    ```

- update the `.env` file
  - open the [firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/) and open your project
  - open the project settings by clicking the `⚙` icon on the sidebar and `Project settings`
  - if there is no app in your project create a new web-app `</>`
    - nickname `monkeytype`
    - uncheck `set up firebase hosting`
    - click `Register app` 
   - select your app and select `Config` for `SDK setup and configuration`
   - it will display sth like this:
        ```
        const firebaseConfig = {
        apiKey: "AAAAAAAA",
        authDomain: "monkeytype-00000.firebaseapp.com",
        projectId: "monkeytype-00000",
        storageBucket: "monkeytype-00000.appspot.com",
        messagingSenderId: "90000000000",
        appId: "1:90000000000:web:000000000000"
        };
        ```
   - update the `.env` file with the values above:
        ```
        FIREBASE_APIKEY=AAAAAAAA
        FIREBASE_AUTHDOMAIN=monkeytype-00000.firebaseapp.com
        FIREBASE_PROJECTID=monkeytype-00000
        FIREBASE_STORAGEBUCKET=monkeytype-00000.appspot.com
        FIREBASE_MESSAGINGSENDERID=90000000000
        FIREBASE_APPID=1:90000000000:web:000000000000
        ```

### Update backend configuration

- update the `backend-configuration.json` file and add/modify
    ```json
    {
        "users": {
            "signUp": true,
            "profiles": {
                "enabled": true
            }
        }
    }
    ```

### Setup Recaptcha

- [create](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create) a new recaptcha token
    - label: monkeytype
    - type: v2
    - domain: the domain of the frontend 
- update the `.env` file with the site key from the previous step
    ```
    RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY="your site key"
    RECAPTCHA_SECRET="your secret key"
    ``` 


## Enable daily leaderboards

To enable daily leaderboards update the `backend-configuration.json` file and add/modify
```json
{
    "dailyLeaderboards": {
        "enabled": true,
        "maxResults": 250,
        "leaderboardExpirationTimeInDays": 1,
        "validModeRules": [
            {
                "language": "english",
                "mode": "time",
                "mode2": "15"
            },
            {
                "language": "english",
                "mode": "time",
                "mode2": "60"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

- language is one of the supported language
- mode can be `time` or `words`
- mode2 can be `15`,`30`,`60` or `120` if you picked `mode=time` or `10`,`25`,`50` or `100` if you picked `mode=words`.

## Configuration files

### env file

All settings are described in the [example.env](https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype/tree/master/docker/example.env) file.

### serviceAccountKey.json

Contains your firebase config, only needed if you want to allow users to signup.

### backend-configuration.json

Configuration of the backend. 

If you don't want to update this file manually you can

- open the backend url in your browser, e.g. `http://localhost:5005/configure/`
- adjust the settings and click `Save Changes`
- open the configuration in your browser, e.g. `http://localhost:5005/configuration`
- copy everything from `data` into the `backend-configuration.json` file.

Example output from `http://localhost:5005/configuration`:
```json
{
    "message": "Configuration retrieved",
    "data":
    {
        "maintenance": false,
        "results": {},
        ....
    }
}
```

Example content from `backend-configuration.json`:
```
{
    "maintenance": false,
    "results": {},
    ....
}
```

If you have `curl` and `jq` installed you can also run `curl -wO- http://localhost:5005/configuration | jq ".data" > backend-configuration.json` to update the configuration file.


> [!NOTE]
> The configuration is applied on container startup only. You have to restart the container for your changes to become active.
