Teerank.io is a simple and fast ranking system for Teeworlds. You can test the lastest stable version at teerank.io.
npm install
docker compose up -d
npx nx run frontend:serve
npx nx run worker:serve
Alternatively, open the projetc on VSCode and run the start building using:
Command + Shift + B
.
This project is a reboot of teerank.com. The former was written in C and used SQLite. While good, this technologies are arguably not the best tools in the box for making and maintening a ranking system.
This project instead relies on Typescript, NextJS, PostgreSQL. Performance is not really a concern so Typescript is a good language to use, as it improves developement speed and is accessible to more people, it also make concurrency easy.
Finally, the old teerank frontend was a C program compiled into a CGI which then was plugged into Nginx. It worked, but it was difficult to setup. Using NextJS saves a lot of time and is more flexible. Frontend, worker and database are all hosted on fly.io.
Also the domain teerank.com expired by accident, and was immediately cyber-squatted. They refused my buying offers, so at some point I stopped the server and let the project die. Now the domain is available again but due to the premium system for .com demains, it costs more than a thousand dollars, which is not something I can afford for a pet project. That's why teerank is now available at teerank.io.
