XRSRV - eXeRcise SeRVer

Workout and physical fitness database and software library

XRSRV is intended to be a fully open-source back-end database and library for physical fitness routines and workout management software. However, for now it will serve as a place to share scripts and utilities for generating workouts in HTML format to be printed and put on a clipboard. Eventually, the idea is to have both a fully functional web and a local API which will ease writing user interfaces on any number of devices. We'll see how far it gets.

While there are many examples of mature projects and commercial products that provide essentially the same thing, XRSRV is more focused on versatility, re-use, and its availability as an entirely open-source product. It's also a good software exercise, no pun intended.

This project will be written in a platform-independent manner (assuming someone will port it to Windows; we'll do our best from the Linux side of the development), and will follow strict coding and formatting standards.

Installation

The installer is incomplete but the project uses the CMake build system and it can be used in place. CMake should detect and at least complain about some or all missing dependencies. Note that it is written using python 3, so the python 3 version of libraries are required.

To build XRSRV under Linux:

$ git clone https://github.com/jessepinnell/xrsrv.git

$ mkdir xrsrv-build

$ cd xrsrv-build

$ cmake ../xrsrv

$ make

$ make test

$ make lint

Usage example

Functionality is currently very limited, but the basic exercise renderer script can be run from the build directory:

$ python3 -B ../xrsrv/python/apps/exercise_renderer.py

usage: ../xrsrv/python/apps/exercise_renderer.py [exercises database file] [number of routines]

$ python3 -B ../xrsrv/python/apps/exercise_renderer.py python/tests/exercise.db 12 > /tmp/output_file.html

Development setup

Same as installation steps above for now.
