Classic WoW Forums

World of Warcraft forums as they were in 2005.

I started working on this project to learn Elixir/Phoenix. The goal was to make a forum that replicates the World of Warcraft forums as they were back in 2005. Currently the forums are fully functional and can be seen at https://classicwowforums.com.

Made with:

Elixir/Phoenix
React/Mobx
Postgres

Config files

all config files are in the config folder
remove the .template from them
create a new app in the battle.net api and add your keys

Start the server

Install dependencies with mix deps.get
Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.setup
Start server with mix phx.server

Build the client

cd client
yarn install
yarn run dev

Ecto

Create new database table

mix ecto.gen.migration create_user
mix ecto.migrate

Production

MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.create
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
PORT=80 MIX_ENV=prod mix run priv/repo/seeds.exs
PORT=80 MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server

Postgres in docker container

docker run --name postgres1 -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -d postgres

Postgres setup

Setup on Centos7

Change password to postgres user

sudo -u user_name psql db_name

or 

ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'new_password';

Edit /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

local   all   all   trust

systemctl restart postgresql

Battlenet API

Battlenet required https for a redirect for authentication. I use caddy for https proxy during development.

Caddyfile

https://localhost {
        tls self_signed
        proxy / http://localhost:8080 {
                transparent
                websocket
        }
}
