ameer 7001a51803 deploy: add bootstrap.sh + Caddyfile + systemd unit + demo pool
One-shot deploy for fresh Ubuntu 24.04 root SSH:
  curl -fsSL https://gitea.ahkhan.me/apps/quiz/raw/branch/master/deploy/bootstrap.sh | bash

bootstrap.sh: idempotent stage-by-stage installer for Caddy, Python venv,
quiz system user, repo clone to /opt/quiz, env-var prompts, systemd unit,
Caddyfile, and a healthz check. Reattaches /dev/tty so curl|bash can read
the admin password interactively.

quiz.service: uvicorn under the quiz system user (no shell, no SSH),
ProtectSystem=full, ProtectHome=true, PrivateTmp=true, NoNewPrivileges=true.

Caddyfile.tpl: reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8001 with auto Let's Encrypt;
DOMAIN substituted at install time.

examples/pool_example.json: generic demo pool, schema reference only.

README rewritten around the deploy flow + class-day lifecycle.

Live in-lecture quiz portal

FastAPI + WebSocket + SQLite quiz portal designed for ~40 students per class session. Single-process, in-memory room manager, vanilla HTML/JS front-end, Caddy in front for TLS.

Quick local run

python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e '.[dev]'
cp .env.example .env  # edit QUIZ_SECRET_KEY + QUIZ_ADMIN_PASSWORD
uvicorn app.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8001 --reload

Open http://127.0.0.1:8001/admin/, log in, create a quiz pool from a JSON pool file (see examples/pool_example.json for the schema), create a session, and share the join URL.

VPS deploy (one-shot)

On a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 LTS root SSH:

curl -fsSL https://gitea.ahkhan.me/apps/quiz/raw/branch/master/deploy/bootstrap.sh | bash

The bootstrap:

  1. apt-installs Caddy + Python venv tooling
  2. Creates a quiz system user (no shell, no SSH)
  3. Clones this repo to /opt/quiz
  4. Builds the venv and installs the app
  5. Generates QUIZ_SECRET_KEY, prompts for QUIZ_ADMIN_PASSWORD
  6. Drops the systemd unit and Caddyfile
  7. Starts both services
  8. Curl-checks 127.0.0.1:8001/healthz

After: quiz.ahkhan.me is live with auto-Let's-Encrypt cert. To override the domain or repo URL, set DOMAIN= or REPO_URL= in the environment before running the script.

Class-day workflow

  1. Provision Aliyun Intl HK ECS pay-as-you-go (ecs.t6-c2m1.large, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS).
  2. Point DNS A-record quiz.ahkhan.me at the new IP.
  3. SSH in as root, run the curl|bash one-liner above.
  4. Open quiz.ahkhan.me/admin/, log in, upload the week's pool JSON, create a session.
  5. Share the QR / join URL with the class.
  6. After class: scp root@<ip>:/opt/quiz/quiz.db ./backups/quiz-YYYY-MM-DD.db
  7. Destroy the instance.

Quiz pool files

Real pool JSON files contain answer keys and must not be committed to this repo. .gitignore excludes examples/*_pool.json (only examples/pool_example.json may be tracked). Author pools elsewhere (e.g., your course-material directory) and upload at runtime via the admin UI.

Tests

pytest -q
pytest --cov=app

For the WebSocket adversarial stress harness (Node.js + Playwright, runs in a tmux loop), see tests/stress/README.md.

Spec

SPEC.md documents the locked v1.0 design (state machine, scoring, identity flow, all WS message types).
