The current app is account-based and league-based. League owners/managers record sessions and ledger events, viewers can inspect public-facing league data, and site-admin access is reserved for internal tooling.

What It Does

account signup, login, and email verification
league creation, invitations, ownership transfer, and member roles
player, season, session, and ledger management per league
append-only ledger events with void/correction support
public/private league visibility
leaderboards, charts, dashboard stats, and session summaries
CSV import/export for league ledgers

Project Layout

app.py is the deployment entrypoint for flask --app app and Gunicorn.
boker/ contains the Flask application package, routes, models, services, repositories, and config.
templates/ and static/ contain Jinja views and public assets.
migrations/ contains Alembic migrations for database deploys.
tests/ contains the committed regression suite.

Ledger Model

Each ledger row is an event, not a final snapshot. Corrections are made by appending or voiding events, so the history remains auditable.

Current event types:

buyin
front
debt_repayment
writeoff
cashout
paid_out
rollover_in
payout_carry_in
rollover_out
note
session_open
session_close

Accounting keeps poker results separate from banker cashflow:

poker investment is buyin + front + rollover_in
poker net is cashout - poker investment
real cash in is buyin + debt_repayment
real cash out is paid_out
rollover_out settles the source session without counting as cash out
rollover_in enters play in the destination session without counting as cash in
payout_carry_in records prior-session value carried into a later payout without counting as poker investment or cash in
writeoff resolves a receivable without counting as cash in

Older imports may still contain paid, front_collected, or front_writeoff; those are read as aliases for paid_out, debt_repayment, and writeoff.

Running Locally

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env
python app.py

Then open:

http://127.0.0.1:5000

Environment Values

The app reads these from .env:

SECRET_KEY
APP_ENV
DATABASE_URL
APP_BASE_URL
RATELIMIT_STORAGE_URI
MAIL_SERVER
MAIL_PORT
MAIL_USE_TLS
MAIL_USE_SSL
MAIL_USERNAME
MAIL_PASSWORD
MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER

For public deployments, set APP_ENV=production. Production mode enables secure cookies and refuses to start with the development SECRET_KEY. Set RATELIMIT_STORAGE_URI to a shared backend such as Redis so login and signup limits are enforced across processes.

Site Admin Access

Internal admin access uses normal database-backed accounts, not hardcoded .env credentials.

Grant access:

flask --app app grant-site-admin user@example.com

Revoke access:

flask --app app revoke-site-admin user@example.com

The old single-password /admin system has been removed.
