Fete de la science 2019

This is a basic online app to demonstrate quantum advantage in communication, that uses the magic square game.

Development

Without Docker

To develop locally without Docker, just install all the deps (qproject is needed because the default simulaqron backend seems buggy):

$ pip3 install simulaqron qproject flask

start simulaqron:

$ simulaqron set backend projectq
$ simulaqron start -f

and then run

$ ./development_mode_local.sh

and open your browser at http://localhost:8000. You will be in DEBUG mode, so when you edit a file everything should reload automatically.

With Docker

Just make sure Docker and Docker-compose are installed, and then run:

$ ./development_mode_docker.sh

and point your browser to http://localhost:5000. You will be in DEBUG mode, so when you edit a file everything should reload automatically.

Production

If you want to run your server in production mode, you should run:

./production_mode_docker.sh

Note that this script makes sure that only the file docker-compose.yml is loaded. Indeed, by default the file docker-compose.override.yml, that contains only options for DEBUG mode is also loaded.

When you make a change, make sure to stop/restart this command.

Deploy on the real server

First we need to make sure the github repo is public. For now the sources are loaded in Docker by using the local folders. When we will deploy it to the actual server, it should be easier to fetch the sources directly from github. To do that, comment in Dockerfile the line

COPY . /git

and uncomment in Dockerfile the line:

RUN git clone https://github.com/h-oll/fete_de_la_science_2019.git /git

Then, sent to the webmaster the files Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml. That’s all!
