CPPS

A portal all about competitive programming and problem solving.

You can visit the site cpps.bacsbd.org to view the project.

Features

The site has two parts: notebook and gateway.

In notebook, you will find theoretical resources about CPPS. In gateway, you will find categorized problems with hints for practice.

Getting Started for Developers

1. Fork the project.
2. Clone the project into your workstation.
3. Install docker and docker-compose.
4. Enter the following command to start docker containers: ./deploy.sh -t prod
5. In order to run the project, you need project specific secret values. In the project root, create a file named server/secret.js and enter the following infos:

   module.exports = {
     secret: "Your-secret-key", //Used to encrypt passwords and session
     dburl: "mongodb://cpps_db_1:27017/cpps",
     mailApi: "secret-mail-api-key", //Needs to be mailgun api
     recaptcha: {
       //Get your own recaptcha site & secret key. Use localhost as domain to run in locally.
       site: "Your-own-recaptcha-site-key",
       secret: "Your-own-recaptcha-secret-key"
     }
   }
   

6. Next simply run the command ./deploy.sh -t dev to start dev server. If required, please give the deploy script run permission.
7. View the site in localhost:3000.

Deploy Script

A script called deploy is available for use. Using this script, we can control the site in following manners:

1. Starting Production Server: ./deploy.sh -t prod for starting production server.
2. Starting Dev Server: ./deploy.sh -t dev, which runs on port 3000.
3. Changing port: ./deploy -t dev -p 8000. By default port 80 is used.
4. MongoDB shell: ./deploy -t mongo
5. MongoDB GUI: ./deploy -t mongo-express
