Turingarena

A collection of libraries and tools to create programming challenges and competitions.

Getting started

Make sure to have (a recent version of) Node and NPM installed and in PATH.
To install dependencies, run:

    ( cd server/ ; npm ci )
    ( cd web/ ; npm ci )

Import the example contest with:

    ( cd server/ ; npm run cli -- import ../examples/example-contest/ )

The start.sh scripts creates a tmux sessions with all the commands needed to develop running in parallel. Warning: can impact the use of CPU and RAM. Either use the script or inspect the scripts in web/package.json and server/package.json and run them individually as needed. To use the script, run:

    ./start.sh

TODO: running the server in production

Using Docker

You can run this application with Docker, to have a system ready to use, that you can also use on macOS or Windows.

Build the Docker container (at this point we don't provide prebuilt ones)

docker build . -t turingarena:turingarena

It will probably take a few minutes, so go to drink a cofee while the system build everything.

Start the server like this

docker run --privileged -it -p 3000:3000 -v $PWD/server:/data turingarena:turingarena serve

Of course change the port or the working directory (/data) as you wish. It's important to use the --privileged option, otherwise the sandbox will not work. You may need root privileges on your system to use that.
