This project shows the current statistics and leaderboard of CH members for the AoC.
This script follows the guidelines stated by Advent of Code, namely:
- it includes the emails of the maintainers and a link to the current repo in the User-Agent header for all outbound requests;
- it throttles the requests made to the website by only requesting (private) leaderboard updates every 15 minutes;
- the puzzle for each day is requested only once and 'cached' runtime only, so restarting the server removes the 'cache'.
The following environment variables are expected:
- session This is the session cookie of a advent of code user that is enrolled in the leaderboard.
- leaderboard_id The id of the AOC leaderboard to show. Default to the CH leaderboard.
- SECRET_KEY_BASE A keybase used for security purposes. It can be generated with mix phx.gen.secret. If you dont have mix installed, any other 32 byte long string will do.
To start your dev Phoenix server:
- Run
mix setupto install and setup dependencies - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phx.serveror inside IEx withiex -S mix phx.server
Now you can visit localhost:8080 from your browser.
The project can also be run using the provided Dockerfile for this, simply build the docker image, docker build -t aoch . and run it: docker run aoch
This project is created using the phoenix framework in elixir. I understand these are not the most well-known framework and language. So if you have any questions you can always contact Kasper at [email protected].
If you have a feature request and don't know how to do it yourself, please create an issue and send an email to the above email address to let me know about it. I will try to maintain the leaderboard as long as possible!
