Submission is the Flask application that managed submissions for the 2018 Bird Audio Detection challenge. It is wrapped in a Docker container, largely inspired by (https://github.com/tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx-flask-docker), including an nginx and an uwsgi servers managed by supervisord.

The main features include:

• Basic user management (register/login/logout)
• Admin panel to manage admin users and competitions
• Automatic score computation from uploaded submission files
• Score visualisation with Google Charts

Submission is aimed at being improved by the community to offer a free and generic Kaggle-like challenge platform. Any contribution is welcome!

INSTALLATION

1 - Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/julj/submission.git
$ cd submission

2 - Create the db backup volume to be mounted

$ mkdir db_backup

3 - Run postgres container and mount database to host volume

$ docker run \
    --name submission_db \
    -v $(pwd)/db_backup:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata \
    -e POSTGRES_USER=myuser \
    -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword \
    -e POSTGRES_DB=submission_db \
    -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata \
    -d postgres

4 - Build flask app

$ docker build -t submission web/

5 - Run flask app and link to database container

$ docker run --name submission --link submission_db:submission_db -p 5455:80 -v $(pwd)/web/submission:/myapp -d submission

6 - Initialize db and migrate (https://flask-migrate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

$ docker exec submission flask db init
$ docker exec submission flask db migrate
$ docker exec submission flask db upgrade

7 - Enjoy

Now the app is available at localhost:5455

8 - More stuff in case you want to modify the app

Logs

The logs of the app (nginx, uwsgi, Flask errors...) can be seen with docker logs <submissioncontainerid>

where <submissioncontainerid> can be seen with

docker ps

Migrations

If you change the models, make sure to run the migrations, which are managed by Flask-Migrate.

Supervisord

After any change, restart uwsgi:

docker exec submission supervisorctl restart uwsgi

ADMINISTRATION

The administration panel can be found at localhost:5455/admin.

1 - Login using the default admin user

email: admin@example.com password: changeme

2 - VERY IMPORTANT: change the admin password

This can be done by editing the admin user data in localhost:5455/admin/user/.

3 - Create a competition

WARNING: because of short time constraint, some datasetid have been hardcoded here.

Competitions can be created from localhost:5455/admin/competition/. For each competition a ground truth must be uploaded, in the format:

<id>,<datasetid>,<detection probability>

where <id> is the identifier of the test file, <datasetid> is self-explanatory and <detection probability> is self-explanatory too (usually 0 or 1 for the ground truth).

Example:

$ cat groundtruth.csv
file1,dataset1,0 
file2,dataset1,0 
file3,dataset2,1 
file4,dataset2,0 
...

4 - Scores

User scores can be seen graphically at localhost:5455/scores.

Submissions ca be seen in the administration panel at localhost:5455/admin/submission/.

The submission files are stored in the path specified in web/submission/instance/config.py.
