How We Built an Application to Test Student Docker Images for Database Systems University Course

• django-rq

  15 1,760 7.0 Python

  A simple app that provides django integration for RQ (Redis Queue)

  

  Performing tests on student images can be a time-consuming process, taking several minutes. Application has to download the image from the registry, create a container, wait for the application to load, and perform the test scenarios. To efficiently utilize the available hardware and handle increased server demand during peak times, a task queue was implemented using django-rq.

• tester

  1 3 7.4 Python

  Web application used to assigment validation (by FIIT-Databases)

  

  The source code of the project is available on the GitHub repository FIIT-Databases/tester. Additionally, an example assignment for the project is also available on GitHub as FIIT-Databases/dbs-python-example. The project is being used in the education process at the Faculty of Informatics and Information Technologies STU in Bratislava. Anyone can access and use the project to create their own testing platform.

• WorkOS

• Django

  484 76,573 9.9 Python

  The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.

  

  However, running and validating these HTTP servers can be a time-consuming and challenging task for instructors, especially as the number of students increases. To address this problem, an web application was developed which can accept Docker images created by students, run the image, provide environment variables for database connections and perform a set of HTTP requests to validate the implementation. This web-based application is created using the Django web framework, uses Redis for queue management and the Docker Python SDK to communicate with the Docker Daemon.

• supervisor

  36 8,210 5.2 Python

  Supervisor process control system for Unix (supervisord)

  

  This post is structured as follows: The first chapter Requirements and Design, describes the requirements for such an application, defines its processes, breaks it down into logical components, and proposes a data model. The second chapter Implementation, provides an introduction to key implementation issues, such as implementing asynchronous tasks and LDAP authentication. It also showcases the usage of Docker with Python SDK in the project, including network configuration, and describes the deployment configuration using supervisord. The final chapter summarizes the efforts and provides links to the code repositories.

• Redis

  317 64,705 9.7 C

  Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.
