How Self Host (DOCKER REQUIRED)

This web application is completely containerzied and can be run locally using docker on Linux or docker desktop on Windows/macOS. The docker compose file makes things quite easy.

• Clone this repository.
• docker compose build --no-cache
• docker compose up (-d if you want to run in detatched mode)
• Go to localhost:3000 in your web browser of choice.
• Use the app like normal.

Ideas

• [x] allow more than 4 moves

• [x] singles vs doubles

• [x] default vs standard meta (metapastes)

• [x] pokepaste automatic integration

• [x] outspeed in result (tailwind field condition?)

• [x] boosts +1 Atk, +2 Speed etc

• [ ] click button for paste to clipboard

• [ ] upload to hastebin/pastebin

• [ ] move type colour code result

• [ ] ev optimization rules (1/16, sub, sitrus, etc)

• [ ] pikalytics api? -> doesn't exist, but smogon usage stats do (meta pokemon db)

• [ ] team length limits for calculation speed requirements

• [ ] generation picker or just 9?

• [ ] pokemon customizer (no?)

Webapp Architecture

• Frontend
  • user input
  • send request to backend server to make calculations
  • display results
  • avoid load on user pc and having to package smogon calc
• Backend
  • parse pokemon objects from user input text
  • execute calculations
  • render and return html of results
• Database (not implemented)
  • store data of meta sets parsed from smogon usage stats
  • backend: parse smogon stats and store in db
  • backend: access database to create a superset of mons to calculate vs

ToDo

Backend

• metapaste database
• HP percentage in paste for stuff like eruption or reversal
• colour gradient for xhko that factors in %chance, ex 2% chance to 2hko is worse than 99% (UI 2.0)
• sort results by xhko chance (UI 2.0)
• environemnt file that propagates through frontend and backend with metapastes (just do db)
• lower/uppercase parsing
• helping hand, weather abilities, etc automatically set field conditions conditions (UI 2.0)

Frontend

• make everything look nicer IMPORTANT

Production

• [x] hosting provider? -> kubernetes (no, too complex), why not host it myself (yes) -> home server
• domain name pkautocalc.duckdns.org -> change to:
  • pokeautocalc.duckdns.org
  • psyduckcalc.duckdns.org
  • golduckcalc.duckdns.org
  • ludicalco.duckdns.org
  • ducklettcalc.duckns.org
  • farfetchdcalc.duckdns.org
  • quaxulator.duckdns.org
  • porygonz.duckdns.org
• buy domain
  • pokeautocalc .io .xyz .uno .trade .site .space .store .fun
  • calc.pokemon.online
• [x] https
• CI/CD pipeline
  • testing
  • automated deployment to prod
• user traffic (monitoring in backend)
  • portainer? track my containers
• content size
• how long does it take to calculate?
• how is it best to serve this calculator idea? (FFAAS, running on user pc? vs server vs wasm?, idk)
• geographic distribution (where are people connecting from, how bad is ping?)

Production Server Stack

• nginx proxy manager
• portainer
• kuma uptime or w/e its called
• watchtower? uploading build to public image?
• automatic docker compose build and stop and up when github main repo is updated
