To start it locally, you can use the docker-compose.yml at the root of the project.
sudo docker-compose up -d
It will start both the frontend (in VueJS) on 8080 and the backend (in golang) on 8081 with a postgresql database on 5432. You can now use it locally.
The Dockerfile at the root of the project is used for production on Heroku. When pushed to heroku, the Dockerfile will automatically be built according to heroku.yml and the application will be available.
However, the production stack is different from the development stack. Indeed, the free subscriptino on Heroku allows to expose only one Dockerfile to be exposed, so when Whatsbest is built the backend serves the frontend with fs := http.FileServer(http.Dir("./web/dist")) and http.Handle("/", fs). This is why there is a -dev option when starting the golang backend.
If you use the -dev flag when starting the golang backend, it won't load the frontend itself.
OUTDATED
In order to have a sample database, there is a sample db filebackend/tournament.db.sample. You can rename it tournament.db to have a tournament when the application starts. Do not forget not to use -dev flag if you already have a tournament.db file. The sample tournament has the id 857454736, so you can access it at /mash/331bb890.
