• Solutions run in a sandbox based on isolate
• Problems are uploaded from Polygon through its integrated API

Note that since we are using isolate submodule you should add --recursive option to the regular cloning command

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Krauchman/mycms.git

Or, if you have already cloned the repository, just download the submodules by running

git submodule update --init

To install python packages with pip:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

It is recommended to use a virtual environment, since we are using specific versions of python packages.

We are using RabbitMQ as a task broker for Celery.

First, update your system:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

To install RabbitMQ on newer versions of Ubuntu (16.04, 18.04), run

apt-get install -y erlang
apt-get install rabbitmq-server

Next, enable and start rabbitmq-server:

systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
systemctl start rabbitmq-server

Check the status to make sure everything works

systemctl status rabbitmq-server

We are using Channels for constant communication with the server.

To start a Redis server on port 6379, run the following command:

sudo docker run -p 6379:6379 -d redis:2.8

To build the isolate submodule run the following command from inside its directory

make isolate

Run the following command to check some system settings

isolate-check-environment --execute

If --execute is not specified, the recommended actions are written to stdout as an executable shell script, otherwise, using --execute will attempt to make changes to make the system behave more deterministically. The changes performed by --execute persist only until a reboot. To persist across reboots, the standard output from this script should be added to /etc/rc.local or some other script that is run on each boot.

Finally, do not forget to migrate

python3 manage.py migrate

To start the django development server

python3 manage.py runserver

You should also start a celery worker as a root (to be changed later) to run solutions and generate output for tests

sudo su
celery -A mycms worker -l info
