Scoring-Tool

Welcome to the Scoring-Tool repository! This README will guide you through the setup and usage of the project. Follow these steps to get your development environment up and running smoothly.

This project is a fully-dockerized tool to score images by different users for scientific purpose. It's a redcore-derivative. It connects:

• Backend: Django using rest_framework
• Frontend: React
• Database: Postgres
• Reverse-Proxy: Nginx

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Docker
• Python
• Node.js and npm

Add some URLs to your hosts-file, so they are locally available!

Unix

sudo tee -a /etc/hosts > /dev/null <<EOT

127.0.0.1 api.scoring.local
127.0.0.1 scoring.local   

EOT

Windows:

1. Shame on you for using should a bad OS!
2. Your host-file is at:

   %windir%\System32\drivers\etc

3. Copy the above code (between EOT) and save the file

Setup Instructions

1. Copy environment templates:

   cp .env.template .env
   cp django.template django.env

2. Edit the environment files as needed:

   Open .env and django.env in your favorite text editor and configure them according to your requirements.

3. Start the Docker containers: This will start all necessary services in the background.

    docker compose up -d

Local Development

Backend

To start the local backend server, follow these steps:

1. Apply migrations:

    python manage.py makemigrations
    python manage.py migrate

2. Create a superuser:

   This command will prompt you to enter details for the admin user.

    python manage.py createadmin

3. Start backend-server:

    python manage.py runserver localhost:8000

Frontend

To start the local frontend server, follow these steps:

 cd frontend
 npm install
 npm start

This will open a browser with the frontend visible.

Securing your webserver with firewall (off-topic)

If you run this on an accessible webserver (aka without VPN), you should secure it by only allowing the needed ports. i got you covered!

# Install UFW on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ufw

# Install UFW on RHEL/CentOS-based systems
sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install ufw

# Enable UFW
sudo ufw enable

# Allow ports 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), and 443 (HTTPS)
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp

# Deny all other incoming traffic
sudo ufw default deny incoming

# Allow all outgoing traffic
sudo ufw default allow outgoing

# Reload UFW to apply the changes
sudo ufw reload

# Check UFW status
sudo ufw status

Output should look like this:

Status: active

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
22/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere
80/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere
443/tcp                    ALLOW       Anywhere
22/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
80/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
443/tcp (v6)               ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

Still, this project does not yet support HTTPS. But you can using Certbot
