Tests Code Climate Coverage Status Open Source Love license

terry is a Google-Code-Jam-like programming contest environment designed for the territorial phase of the Italian Olympiad in Informatics (OII, Olimpiadi Italiane di Informatica).

Specification of the terry format

You can find the specification of the format accepted by terry here.

Setup a production-like environment

  1. Clone recursively this repo git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/olimpiadi-informatica/terry
  2. Follow the instructions in backend/
  3. Place the zip of the contest in the folder set in the backend config file
  4. Setup the frontend
  • Inside frontend/
  • export some frontend variables: REACT_APP_API_BASE_URI REACT_APP_FILES_BASE_URI REACT_APP_STATEMENTS_BASE_URI REACT_APP_DETECT_INTERNET_TEST_ENDPOINT REACT_APP_DETECT_INTERNET_TEST_CONTENT
  • npm install
  • npm run build
  1. Setup the reverse proxy (or some form of frontend server), consider using the vm-utils/nginx.conf file as a template.
  2. Start the backend running terr-server
  3. Start the proxy

The provided nginx configuration file assumes:

You have put this repo inside /app directory in the server. The backend is configured to use the default port 1234. Remember to configure the backend with (at least this changes):

address: 127.0.0.1
admin_token: SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THE DEFAULT
num_proxy: 1

Using Docker

Inside the docker folder there are the files needed for building a docker container with the backend and frontend. You can also find a prebuilt image in Docker Hub.

To use the docker image you should mount a folder to /data inside the container. After the first startup of the container the default configuration file is created, you can customize it and restart the container. All the data is persisted inside /data, mounting that folder as a volume makes sure you won't lose any data by recreating the container.

The container exposes port 80, where nginx is configured to serve the backend and the frontend. With -P that port will be mapped to a random local port, you may want to use -p 12345:80 to fix the exported port.

docker run -d -v $(pwd)/storage:/data -P edomora97/terry:latest

The nginx and terr-server logs are stored inside /data/logs.

Building the docker image

With embedded communication backend:

docker build \
   --target with-communication \
   --build-arg REACT_APP_COMMUNICATIONS_BASE_URI=/api/communications/ \
   -t terry \
   .

With external communication backend:

docker build \
   --target without-communication \
   --build-arg REACT_APP_COMMUNICATIONS_BASE_URI=https://the.server/api/communications/ \
   -t terry \
   .

Without communication:

docker build \
   --target without-communication \
   -t terry \
   .

Only communication backend:

docker build \
   --target only-communication \
   -t terry-communication \
   .

Build the server VM

  1. Clone with --recursive this repo
  2. Have virtualbox installed
  3. Ensure that the settings at the top of the Makefile are good for you
  4. Run sudo make build ROOT_PASSWORD=XXXXX CONFIG_YAML=vm-utils/config.yaml NGINX_CONF=vm-utils/nginx.conf HTTPTUN_SERVER=http://XXXXX HTTPTUN_PASSWORD=XXXXX VERSION=XXXXX
  5. Run sudo make server.ova

A server.ova file has been generated, import it in VirtualBox!

Utility scripts

You'll need some configuration files in order to make a valid pack using the utilities in this repo:

  • A CSV file with the contestant information: atleti.csv
  • A CSV with the venues: sedi.csv
  • A YAML file with the contest metadata: metadata.yaml

atleti.csv

This CSV contains the list and information about all the contestants, there are some required columns:

  • name (the contestant's name)
  • surname (the contestant's surname)
  • venue (the contestant's venue)

All the other columns will be kept in the contest.yaml generated files but won't be stored in the DB. The contestant is identified by a randomly generated token, it will be put in the contest.yaml file its venue.

sedi.csv

This CSV contains all the venues and the number of rooms in each of them. The required columns are:

  • venue (the venue's code)
  • rooms (the number of rooms)

The venue's code must be from 3 to 4 characters long, usually it's in the format FRI or LOM1, LOM2, ...

The room identifier will be the venue's code with the 1-based index of the room, padded to be 6 characters long. For example FRI001, FRI002, LOM101, LOM102, ...

metadata.yaml

This files contains the basic information about a contest.

That file is present, unencrypted, in the contest pack. It will be shown in the admin page before the contest extraction. The content of this file is also used to make the contest.yaml files, the name and description of the contest are get from there.

You can find the specification of the format of this file here.

Making a pack

Once you have made all the configuration files and prepared all the tasks for the contest you can use the following utilities for preparing the pack and the extra files for the contest.

  1. Choose the encryption password: an hex string of 14 characters long, for example aabbccddeeff00

  2. Make the credentials for the contestants and admins:

    • util/make_cred.py metadata.yaml 10800 task1,task2,task3 sedi.csv atleti.csv --password aabbccddeeff00 --num-backup 5 __users__ > admin.csv
    • metadata.yaml is where to get the name/description of the contest. Note that it could be different from the one used in the next step, this one has no size limit.
    • 10800 is the contest duration in seconds.
    • task1,task2,task3 are the task names separated with commas.
    • --num-backup 5 will create 5 extra users for each venue, in case of emergencies.
    • __users__ is the destination folder, inside of it all the contest.yaml files for each room will be created. The folder will be created automatically.
    • Specifying --password aabbccddeeff00 the stdout will contain the content of the file admin.csv with the columns: sede (the venue's code), full_sede (the code with the room number) and password (a valid admin token for that room).

  3. Make the pack.zip.enc file:

    • util/make_pack.py --task-maker --both-arch aabbccddeeff00 metadata.yaml pack.zip.enc __users__ path/to/task1 path/to/task2 path/to/task3 --tutorials path/to/tutorials
    • --task-maker is highly suggested, will use task-maker to build the tasks.
    • --both-arch will make the executables for both i686 and x86_64.
    • metadata.yaml the 1KiB limited file with the contest metadata.
    • pack.zip.enc is where to store the resulting pack, the name can be different.
    • __users__ is the folder created with the previous command.
    • path/to/task1 ... are the paths to the tasks to build.
    • --tutorials path/to/tutorials is an optional path to the directory where the tutorials are stored.

  4. Make the slips of paper with the contestants' credentials:

    • util/genera_foglietti.py sedi.csv __users__ outdir
    • Will create a PDF for each venue inside outdir.
    • Otherwise you can generate manually each PDF with:
    • util/foglietti.py FRI path/to/FRI001.yaml dest/FRI.pdf
    • Will create dest/FRI.pdf, an easily cuttable, printable PDF with all the tokens for the contestants of FRI.

After contest utilities

All those scripts assume that all the result zips from the contest are stored in the same directory zip_dir.

Making the scoreboard

util/make_scoreboard.py zip_dir scoreboard.csv --patch patch.csv

The patch.csv file allows you to change the venue of a contestant after the contest is done. For example if someone took the contest in a different venue from his one you can patch that. The columns of this file are: old (the old venue), new (the new venue), token (the token of the user).

The resulting csv will have the following columns: venue, surname, name, a column per task, score (the total score).
