Usage

Pre-built docker package

There is pre-built docker package at vijos/vj4. This is maintained by @moesoha. Source code is available at https://github.com/vijos/vj4-docker.

Manual build

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+, <=3.9
• MongoDB 3.0+, <=5.0
• Node.js 10.0+
• RabbitMQ

Install requirements

In the root of the repository, where requirements.txt and package.json locates:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
yarn

You don't need root privilege to run yarn. It installs stuffs in the project directory. We recommend using Node 10.

You may want to use tuna if you are in China.

Some requirements may need Python.h and ffi.h. In Debian/Ubuntu you can use

apt install python3-dev libffi-dev

to resolve this.

IP Geo-Location

To enable IP geo-location translation, you need to follow the instruction on MaxMind GeoLite2 to obtain a GeoLite2 City Database, unzip it, and put it in the project root directory with the filename GeoLite2-City.mmdb.

You may also want to install libmaxminddb for higher performance.

Development

In the root of the repository:

yarn build   # or: yarn build:watch
python3 -m vj4.server --debug

Set --listen (default: http://127.0.0.1:8888) to listen on a different address.

As an intuitive example, you may want to add a super administrator and a problem to start:

alias pm="python3 -m"
pm vj4.model.user add -1 icebox 12345 [email protected]
pm vj4.model.user set_superadmin -1
pm vj4.model.adaptor.problem add system "Dummy Problem" "# It *works*" -1 1000   # you can also use web UI

You need to run these scripts on a regular basis to maintain correct RP and ranks for all users:

pm vj4.job.rp recalc_all
pm vj4.job.rank run_all

Watch and Restart

Frontend source codes can be recompiled automatically by running:

yarn build:watch

However you need to manually restart the server for server-side code to take effect.

Production

yarn build:production
python3 -m vj4.server --listen=unix:/var/run/vj4.sock

• Set --listen (default: http://127.0.0.1:8888) to listen on a different address.
• Set --prefork (default: 1) to specify the number of worker processes.
• Set --ip-header (default: '') to use IP address in request headers.
• Set --url-prefix (default: https://vijos.org) to set URL prefix.
• Set --cdn-prefix (default: /) to set CDN prefix.
• Set --smtp-host, --smtp-user, --smtp-password, and --mail-from to specify a SMTP server.
• Set --db-host (default: localhost) and/or --db-name (default: test) to use a different database.

Better to use a reverse proxy like Nginx or h2o.

Judging

To enable vj4 to judge, at least one judge user and one judge daemon instance are needed.

• Use following commands to create a judge user:

alias pm="python3 -m"
pm vj4.model.user add -2 judge 123456 [email protected]
pm vj4.model.user set_judge -2

Use jd4

• See https://github.com/vijos/jd4 for more details about the judge daemon.

Use HydroJudge

• You can also use HydroJudge from Hydro.
