Deploying the scouting application

The scouting application is deployed to scouting.frc971.org via bazel:

$ bazel run //scouting/deploy
(Reading database ... 119978 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../frc971-scouting-server_1_amd64.deb ...
Removed /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/scouting.service.
Unpacking frc971-scouting-server (1) over (1) ...
Setting up frc971-scouting-server (1) ...
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/scouting.service → /etc/systemd/system/scouting.service.
Connection to scouting.frc971.org closed.

You will need SSH access to the scouting server. You can customize the SSH host with the --host argument.

The Blue Alliance API key

You need to set up an API key on the scouting server so that the scraping logic can use it. It needs to live in /var/frc971/scouting/tba_config.json and look as follows:

{
    "api_key": "..."
}

Starting and stopping the application

When you SSH into the scouting server, use systemctl to manage scouting.service like any other service.

$ sudo systemctl stop scouting.service
$ sudo systemctl start scouting.service
$ sudo systemctl restart scouting.service
