cectf-server 1.0.10

Backend for the CECTF

# cectf-server

You need Python 3 and pip installed to set up this project.

Navigate to the project repository and run ./setup_workspace.sh. This will set up the python virtual environment and install the python dependencies.

You will need to install MariaDB (https://mariadb.com/downloads/#aptyum) and have it running on localhost. For testing purposes, the user travis with no password needs to be created (CREATE USER ‘travis’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘’;)

Run db_setup.sh to set up the test database with dummy data. Right now this provisions a user a with password b, and an admin user abc with password 123. You will need to use these credentials to log in to the app.

Run run.sh to launch the Flask server. It is configured to run the server on http://127.0.0.1:5001 by default.

Configuration can be done by adding variables to instance/config.py.

For testing, first do pip install pytest coverage. Run pip install -e . to install the project in the local virtual environment (the -e ensures that it is updated as the project is modified). Run pytest to run all tests. Run coverage run -m pytest to generate a code coverage report. Run coverage report to get the report in the command line, or run coverage html to generate an interactive HTML page in htmlcov/index.html.
