deprecate kctf chal debug docker #263

with kind its kindof redundant

arxenix commented 3 years ago

I think kctf chal debug docker should be left in, as when debugging challenges i occasionally did have issues where the challenge ran correctly in docker but not on kind.

Not a great example, but in one scenario kind did not think i had system resources available to run the challenge, so the Pod was left indefinitely in a "Pending" state.

seeing that the challenge worked correctly in kctf chal debug docker helped me diagnose that issue.

offtopic: @arxenix how did you diagnose that issue? I currently have an issue that sounds similar - even a dockerfile that essentially does nothing is not launched by kctf chal start on the local kind cluster, but works with kctf chal debug docker. Would be cool to know how to confirm this is the issue (and perhaps even how to make it work anyway)

@lucidBrot it's been some time so I don't remember the details, but a quick search through my browser history shows this being my last visited link on the topic. I also suggest trying to run it on a different machine or cloud instance
