You can run the application locally if you have Java 25 and Maven installed. Run the following command:
mvn install spring-boot:runIt will build and run the application. The web UI will be available at http://localhost:8080/ and runs (by default) with an in-memory H2 database. Log in with the admin account admin/admin.
If you have Docker and Docker Compose installed you can build the application with:
docker compose --profile app buildThe next command starts the container connecting to the postgres database:
docker compose --profile app up -dThe released docker image is available on:
You can browse the available releases at Docker Hub. Please check
for the latest released version or use the latest tag for current development image (not stable).
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 fred4jupiter/fredbet:<VERSION_TAG>Use the last version tag published or leave empty to use the latest one.
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/fred4jupiter/fredbet:<VERSION_TAG>mvn clean install
docker build -t fredbet .
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 fredbetThis will build (and run) an image with name fredbet.
There are some docker compose files available to run the application e.g. with a separate database. This configuration is recommended for production use.
You can find the docker compose example files in folder extra/docker-compose and its subdirectories.
You can override all properties setup in the src/main/resources/application.yml. Please have a look
at Spring Boots externalized configuration documentation
on how to setup these properties as JVM parameters or environment variables.
Some configuration parameters are configurable at runtime. You have to be administrator to edit these values. Following settings can be changed at runtime:
- Log Level
- Clearing caches (for available navigation entries, user child relation on ranking page, runtime configuration parameters)
- enable separate adults and children ranking
- changeable usernames
- menu entry for generating test data (for testing only!)
- favourite country (will be used in points statistics)
- used password on password reset
- points for extra bets
- UI design theme
There are different database options to use with FredBet. The default one is a h2 file-based database, but this is for development
and testing purposes only. For production setup you need to use a supported database (PostgreSQL, Maria DB or MySQL).
| JVM Key | ENV KEY | example value |
|---|---|---|
| spring.datasource.driver-class-name | SPRING_DATASOURCE_DRIVER_CLASS_NAME | org.h2.Driver |
| spring.datasource.url | SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL | jdbc:h2:file:~/fredbetdb;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE |
| spring.datasource.username | SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME | sa |
| spring.datasource.password | SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD |
These databases are supported for production use:
| JVM Key | ENV KEY | example value |
|---|---|---|
| spring.datasource.driver-class-name | SPRING_DATASOURCE_DRIVER_CLASS_NAME | org.postgresql.Driver |
| spring.datasource.url | SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL | jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/fredbet |
| spring.datasource.username | SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME | fred |
| spring.datasource.password | SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD | fred |
| JVM Key | ENV KEY | example value |
|---|---|---|
| spring.datasource.driver-class-name | SPRING_DATASOURCE_DRIVER_CLASS_NAME | com.mysql.jdbc.Driver |
| spring.datasource.url | SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL | jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/fredbet |
| spring.datasource.username | SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME | fred |
| spring.datasource.password | SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD | fred |
| JVM Key | ENV KEY | example value |
|---|---|---|
| spring.datasource.driver-class-name | SPRING_DATASOURCE_DRIVER_CLASS_NAME | org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver |
| spring.datasource.url | SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL | jdbc:mariadb://mariadb:3306/fredbet |
| spring.datasource.username | SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME | fred |
| spring.datasource.password | SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD | fred |
Another option is to run all on a virtual machine with a Docker Compose file. You can use the example located in
extra/docker-compose/traefik_letsencrypt. Copy the .env.template to .env and set the values accordingly.
-Dspring.liquibase.enabled = falseDisabling Liquibase database migration at all. This may be useful if you have an already populated database schema.
You can call this URL for a health check:
http://localhost:8080/actuator/health
You will see a response of {"status":"UP"}. The health check URL is callable without authentication.
While running in dev profile (JVM param: spring.profiles.active=dev) the H2 web console is available
at http://localhost:8080/console.
The following Microsoft Excel templates with matches are prepared for import:
