1 - == Welcome to Rails
1 + == Installation
2 +
3 + Installing cafe-grader can be done in the following steps.
2
4
3 - Rails is a web-application framework that includes everything needed to create
5 + 1. Set up database. We need MySQL 5 database name, username and password.
4 - database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern.
6 + 2. Install RVM. cafe-grader runs on Ruby on Rails and the best way to install it is to use RVM.
7 + 3. Install necessary package for the system
8 + 4. Install cafe-grader from github
9 + 5. Deploy cafe-grader on apache with Phusion Passenger
10 +
11 + The detail of each step are provided as follows.
5
12
6 - This pattern splits the view (also called the presentation) into "dumb"
13 + === Install MySQL 5
7 - templates that are primarily responsible for inserting pre-built data in between
14 +
8 - HTML tags. The model contains the "smart" domain objects (such as Account,
15 + Install MySQL server for the server.
9 - Product, Person, Post) that holds all the business logic and knows how to
16 +
10 - persist themselves to a database. The controller handles the incoming requests
17 + $ sudo apt install mysql-server
11 - (such as Save New Account, Update Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model
12 - and directing data to the view.
13
18
14 - In Rails, the model is handled by what's called an object-relational mapping
19 + Next, we will connect to mysql as root and set up the database. You can choose your DATABASENAME, USERNAME and PASSWORD.
15 - layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from
20 +
16 - database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic
21 + sudo mysql -u root
17 - methods. You can read more about Active Record in
22 +
18 - link:files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html.
23 + mysql> create database DATABASENAME;
24 + Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
19
25
20 - The controller and view are handled by the Action Pack, which handles both
26 + mysql> grant all privileges on grader.* to USERNAME@localhost identified by 'PASSWORD';
21 - layers by its two parts: Action View and Action Controller. These two layers
27 + Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
22 - are bundled in a single package due to their heavy interdependence. This is
28 +

25 - Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in
26 - link:files/vendor/rails/actionpack/README.html.
27
31
32 + === Install RVM
28
33
29 - == Getting Started
34 + Since Ubuntu has dedicated package for RVM we will use that. Just follow instruction given in https://github.com/rvm/ubuntu_rvm. For your convenience, the step are reproduced here.
35 +
36 + First, we install necessary package for installing RVM.
30
37
31 - 1. At the command prompt, create a new Rails application:
38 + $ sudo apt install software-properties-common
32 - <tt>rails new myapp</tt> (where <tt>myapp</tt> is the application name)
33
39
34 - 2. Change directory to <tt>myapp</tt> and start the web server:
40 + Second, we add the custom PPA, update the system and install RVM.
35 - <tt>cd myapp; rails server</tt> (run with --help for options)
36
41
37 - 3. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and you'll see:
42 + $ sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/rvm
38 - "Welcome aboard: You're riding Ruby on Rails!"
43 + $ sudo apt-get update
44 + $ sudo apt-get install rvm
39
45
40 - 4. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application. You can find
46 + This is very important. You have to logout and login again since RVM change a lots of system.
41 - the following resources handy:
42
47
43 - * The Getting Started Guide: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
48 + === Install necessary package
44 - * Ruby on Rails Tutorial Book: http://www.railstutorial.org/
49 +
50 + $ sudo apt install libmysql-dev default-jdk unzip nodejs php7.2-cli apache2 dirmngr gnupg apache2-dev

46
52
47 - == Debugging Rails
53 + curl build-essential
48 -
49 - Sometimes your application goes wrong. Fortunately there are a lot of tools that
50 - will help you debug it and get it back on the rails.
51 -
52 - First area to check is the application log files. Have "tail -f" commands
53 - running on the server.log and development.log. Rails will automatically display
54 - debugging and runtime information to these files. Debugging info will also be
55 - shown in the browser on requests from 127.0.0.1.
56 -
57 - You can also log your own messages directly into the log file from your code
58 - using the Ruby logger class from inside your controllers. Example:
59 -
60 - class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
61 - def destroy
62 - @weblog = Weblog.find(params[:id])
63 - @weblog.destroy
64 - logger.info("#{Time.now} Destroyed Weblog ID ##{@weblog.id}!")
65 - end
66 - end
67 -
68 - The result will be a message in your log file along the lines of:
69 -
70 - Mon Oct 08 14:22:29 +1000 2007 Destroyed Weblog ID #1!
71 -
72 - More information on how to use the logger is at http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
73 -
74 - Also, Ruby documentation can be found at http://www.ruby-lang.org/. There are
75 - several books available online as well:
76 -
77 - * Programming Ruby: http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/ (Pickaxe)
78 - * Learn to Program: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ (a beginners guide)
79 -
80 - These two books will bring you up to speed on the Ruby language and also on
81 - programming in general.
82 -
83 -
84 - == Debugger
85 -
86 - Debugger support is available through the debugger command when you start your
87 - Mongrel or WEBrick server with --debugger. This means that you can break out of
88 - execution at any point in the code, investigate and change the model, and then,
89 - resume execution! You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging
90 - mode. With gems, use <tt>sudo gem install ruby-debug</tt>. Example:
91 -
92 - class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
93 - def index
94 - @posts = Post.all
95 - debugger
96 - end
97 - end
98 -
99 - So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
100 - with a IRB prompt in the server window. Here you can do things like:
101 -
102 - >> @posts.inspect
103 - => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8
104 - @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>,
105 - #<Post:0x14a6620
106 - @attributes={"title"=>"Rails", "body"=>"Only ten..", "id"=>"2"}>]"
107 - >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a debugger"
108 - => "hello from a debugger"
109 -
110 - ...and even better, you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
111 -
112 - >> f = @posts.first
113 - => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
114 - >> f.
115 - Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
116 -
117 - Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you can enter "cont".
118

55
120 - == Console
56 + === Install cafe-grader
57 +
58 + First, ensure that RVM is installed correctly.
59 +
60 + If instead of this you get the following error, it is very likely that you have not use bash --login.
61 +
62 + Next, we will let the install script do the work of installing cafe-grader. Please prepare the DATABASENAME, USERNAME and PASSWORD as the script will ask for that. Make sure that you run the script from the home directory of the user.
121
63
122 - The console is a Ruby shell, which allows you to interact with your
64 + cafe@grader:~$ wget https://github.com/cafe-grader-team/cafe-grader-judge-scripts/raw/master/installer/install-ubuntu-18.04.sh
123 - application's domain model. Here you'll have all parts of the application
65 + cafe@grader:~$ . ./install-ubuntu-18.04.sh
124 - configured, just like it is when the application is running. You can inspect
125 - domain models, change values, and save to the database. Starting the script
126 - without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
127
66
128 - To start the console, run <tt>rails console</tt> from the application
67 + After installation is finished, grader is ready to run in development mode via WEBrick. We will try that by the following command which will start a grader accessible via http://localhost:3000/. You should try logging in to the system and verify that it is actually work.
129 - directory.
68 +
69 + cafe@grader:~/cafe_grader/web$ rails s
70 +
71 + We are almost done. The last step is to set up apache and Phusion so that cafe-grader is served by apache.
130
72
131 - Options:
73 + === Deploy cafe-grader on Phusion passenger via apache
74 + Basically, we will follow the instructions given in https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/ruby/ownserver/apache/oss/bionic/install_passenger.html, which devided into two parts: Installing Passenger and deploying the app.
75 +
76 + Installing Passenger as a mod for apache and enable it.
132
77
133 - * Passing the <tt>-s, --sandbox</tt> argument will rollback any modifications
78 + cafe@grader:~$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 561F9B9CAC40B2F7
134 - made to the database.
79 + cafe@grader:~$ sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates
135 - * Passing an environment name as an argument will load the corresponding
80 + cafe@grader:~$ sudo sh -c 'echo deb https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/apt/passenger bionic main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list'
136 - environment. Example: <tt>rails console production</tt>.
81 + cafe@grader:~$ sudo apt-get update
82 + cafe@grader:~$ sudo apt-get install -y libapache2-mod-passenger
83 + cafe@grader:~$ sudo a2enmod passenger
137
84
138 - To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run
85 +
139 - <tt>reload!</tt>
86 + cafe@grader:~$ sudo apache2ctl restart
140
87
141 - More information about irb can be found at:
88 + Finally, we should check that passenger is installed correctly. Run the following command and fix anything as suggested by the command.
142 - link:http://www.rubycentral.org/pickaxe/irb.html
89 +
90 + cafe@grader:~$ sudo /usr/bin/passenger-config validate-install
91 +
143
92
144
93
145 - == dbconsole
94 + Deploying the app. First, we determine the exact location of our ruby that is installed via RVM.
146 -
147 - You can go to the command line of your database directly through <tt>rails
148 - dbconsole</tt>. You would be connected to the database with the credentials
149 - defined in database.yml. Starting the script without arguments will connect you
150 - to the development database. Passing an argument will connect you to a different
151 - database, like <tt>rails dbconsole production</tt>. Currently works for MySQL,
152 - PostgreSQL and SQLite 3.
