A project Euler clone written with the lovely Meteor framework. Utilizes JavaScript, Bootstrap and some leftover CoffeeScript.

Installation

• Install Meteor
• Download or clone this into /some/path
• cd /some/path
• Run meteor

Admin privileges

During the upstart of the application it checks the number of registered users, if there is only one, he/she will be given admin privileges. So after the installation steps are finished, simply register a user in the app, then kill the server and start it up again with meteor.

Setup in DigitalOcean

1. Create a new droplet with Ubuntu and at least 2GB of RAM (can be reduced later, but must be 2GB for the install)
2. Log in to the droplet and download Programming Ladder
   git clone https://github.com/MAPSuio/programming-ladder.git
3. Install Meteor
   curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
4. Setup port forwarding from port 3000 to port 80 by running the following command. Add it to /etc/rc.local to make it persist through reboots
   iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to 3000
5. Setup startup to make programming ladder a service by creating the file /etc/init/ladder.conf, and put the following into it:

   description "Knowit Programming Ladder"
   author      "knowit"
   
   start on started mountall
   stop on shutdown
   respawn
   respawn limit 99 5
   
   script
   export HOME="/root"
   
   cd /root/programming-ladder && exec /usr/local/bin/meteor >> /var/log/ladder.log 2>&1
   end script
   

6. Build the Programming Ladder Meteor project by starting it with start ladder. Watch the progress with tail -f /var/log/ladder.log

Now Programming Ladder runs whenever the droplet is restarted. Stop it with stop ladder. You may now also shutdown the droplet and resize it to whatever size you want.
