Deploy SRComp Scorer #243

Closed PeterJCLaw closed 5 years ago

PeterJCLaw commented 5 years ago

We're going to need a copy of the score-entry UI running somewhere. In the past this has been on the machine which is also used for score-entry, though that's not especially ideal as it places additional requirements on that machine. An alternative we could explore is hosting the scorer on the compbox.

We need to work out how to deploy the scorer (in whatever form) and then do so.

WIP towards this being on the compbox on my deploy-scorer branch.

Outstanding issues:

how to configure a secret password into it (it expects a plaintext currently), maybe do the auth at nginx instead?
what git credentials to give it for commits
how to ensure we don't have concurrent access (which would cause weirdness)

Update: the laptop being used for score-entry has Arch Linux on it, so we can just do what we do normally and run the scorer on that directly.

I'll have to work out how to know when we want to deploy the changes, but that's a simpler job than reconfiguring the compbox at this point.

This is done. There's a run-scorer script in the root of the home directory of the SR user which runs the scorer and launches Firefox at the right page.
