P2P video exchange app for the dance community - matchmaking, chat, and WebRTC file transfer directly between users.

---

🎯 What is this?

Web application (PWA) enabling dance event participants to:

• Find recording partners via smart auto-matching
• Exchange competition videos peer-to-peer using WebRTC
• Rate collaborations and track partnership history
• Chat in real-time (event rooms + private 1:1 messages)

Key Feature: Direct browser-to-browser video file transfer using WebRTC DataChannel - no files stored on server, end-to-end encrypted (DTLS), tested up to 700MB+.

---

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose

1. Setup production volumes (one-time setup)

Production environment requires persistent external Docker volumes for database and logs:

# Create production database volume
docker volume create slc_postgres_prod_data

# Create production logs volume
docker volume create slc_logs_prod

These volumes persist data across container restarts and are used by:

• slc_postgres_prod_data - PostgreSQL database files
• slc_logs_prod - Application and nginx logs (accessible at /var/log/app/ and /var/log/nginx-app/)

Note: Development profile uses auto-created volumes (no manual setup needed).

2. Start the application

# Clone repository
git clone <repo-url>
cd spotlightcam

# Copy environment file
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env

# Start development mode
docker compose --profile dev up

# Start production mode (requires volumes from step 1)
docker compose --profile prod up

# Open browser
http://localhost:8080  # Development
http://localhost       # Production

3. Seed the database

# Seed with development data (includes test users, events, heats)
make seed-dev

# Or use npm directly
docker compose exec backend npm run prisma:seed:dev

4. Test the application

Use seeded accounts:

• Admin: admin@spotlight.cam / [password set during seed]
• Test users:
  • john@spotlight.cam / Dance123! (SUPPORTER tier)
  • sarah@spotlight.cam / Swing456! (SUPPORTER tier)
  • mike@spotlight.cam / Blues789! (SUPPORTER tier)

Flow:

1. Login → Select event → Join chat
2. Request match with another user → Accept
3. Send video via WebRTC (P2P transfer)
4. Rate partner after exchange

Commands

# Stop services
docker compose --profile dev down

# Rebuild after changes
docker compose --profile dev up --build

# Database seeding
make seed-dev              # Development data (admin + test users + events)
make seed-prod             # Production data (admin + divisions + competition types only)

# Run tests
make test                  # Run all tests
make test-watch            # Run tests in watch mode
make test-coverage         # Run tests with coverage report

# Or use docker compose directly
docker compose exec backend npm test
docker compose exec backend npm test -- matching-algorithm.test.js

# Admin CLI
make dev-cli               # Interactive REPL
docker compose exec backend npm run cli -- users:list --limit 20

# Production logs (persistent across restarts)
docker exec slc-backend-prod tail -f /var/log/app/backend.log
docker exec slc-proxy-prod tail -f /var/log/nginx-app/nginx.log

Flaky Tests (Known Issues)

See docs/TESTING.md for detailed analysis of:

• matching-algorithm.test.js - Race conditions in concurrent runs
• ratings-stats-flow.test.js - Database state dependencies
• events.test.js - Cleanup interference between tests

Workaround: Run flaky tests individually when needed:

docker compose exec backend npm test -- matching-algorithm.test.js  # ✅ 19/19
docker compose exec backend npm test -- ratings-stats-flow.test.js  # ✅ 9/9
docker compose exec backend npm test -- events.test.js              # ✅ 55/55

Documentation: See docs/TESTING.md for comprehensive testing guide

• API Routes: Full CRUD coverage (auth, events, matches, dashboard, webrtc)

Code Coverage Highlights

• matching.js: 94.71% statements, 91.5% branches
• routes/matches.js: 76.11% statements
• routes/events.js: 78.2% statements
• routes/webrtc.js: 100% coverage (9 comprehensive tests)
