A CMS (Programming Contest Management System) up and running for development purposes in vagrant boxes.
To organize a classic programming contest could be challenging, from participant enrollment to code evaluation, even using specialized software like contest management systems, you could stumble with other problem, as for example to provision and scale such complex solutions.
This repository aims to provide an easier way to spin up a CMS programming contest platform using several provision strategies(from shell scripts in just one host to Ansible in multiples ones). Bear in mind that everything regarding to CMS configuration comes from the CMS manual.
First of all you need Oracle VM VirtualBox and Vagrant installed in your host machine, then you can clone this repository and use any of the provisioning strategy flavors and cluster topology.
For example to spin up a all-in-one (bulky) instance you need to:
git clone https://github.com/cms-orbits/cms-boxes.git
cd cms-boxes/bulky
vagrant upEach flavor is determined by the tools that are being used to provision the environment and the cluster topology, the ones you could find in this repository are:
- All-in-one host, shell script provision ->
bulky - Multiple hosts with Docker containers, shell script provision ->
orbits-docker
Note: All the virtual machines created by this project makes use of the Ubuntu public Vagrant box image. You are free to change the Linux distribution and Box version as you please, but bear in mind that some packages may change their names and configurations from Linux distribution to other, therefore, the provisioning scripts should not work as expected.
