Development (Bare Metal Non Docker) Deployment

Dependencies

• Nodejs
• MongoDB

Get The Repo

git clone https://github.com/IRS-Cybersec/ctf_platform.git

Install Stuff

cd ctf_platform
cd client && npm i
cd ../api && npm i

Change API MongoDB Address

• Edit /api/Utils/mongoDB.js and change the address from ctf-mongodb:27017 to localhost:27017
• (Please make sure that your MongoDB server is running beforehand on localhost:27017)

Start the API & React dev server

# Starting the API
cd api
npm install -g nodemon
npm run dev

# Starting the client
cd client
npm start

Start development 😄

Footnotes:

• You will likely want to change the Sieberrsec CTF logos to your own CTF's logos etc. and do your own styling
• In this mode, static file paths specified inside the API will most likely not work, and you have to create them yourself
• Validation, Indexes & Secret keys should be inserted automatically if they are not found
• Remember to change back the mongoDB address when using docker/deploying for production
