Installing challenge

Work in progress

We use postgresql, python3, django, redis and celery.

• Use postgresql databases (apt install postgresql libpq-dev)
• Have python3 and python3-pip installed (apt install python3-pip python3-venv)
  • also python3-venv if you don't create virtualenvs some other way
• git clone
• cd to project directory
• create virtual environment (make env)
• activate virtual environment (source env/bin/activate)
• install dependencies (make prod)
• set up database (create user and db)
• set up project settings (cp challenge/settings/prod_example.py challenge/settings/prod.py and sensible-editor challenge/settings/prod.py)
• set up SQL, migrate (DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='challenge.settings.prod' make migrate)
• gather static files (make collect_static)
• set up webserver
  • example config for apache2 on debian
  • remember to use HTTPS, we're dependent on passwords/secrets and many of our users use wifi while solving the challenge
• install redis (redis-server)
• set up celery
  • based on http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/daemonizing.html#usage-systemd
  • see examples
  • reload systemctl-daemon (systemctl reload-daemon)
  • start celery (systemctl start celery-challenge)
