Hi, I teach a CS course, and I was wondering if there is a practical way in which to setup a server that would accept student’s tar files, run some tests, and show them the results.
I could go “full unix mode” and roll up some accounts let them ssh into a server, scp their their files… but I was wondering if there is a prepacked solution for this that is nicer to the eye. And I thought maybe you know some.
Did a takehome for a company recently that did it well. They required that I make a docker file (you could give them one if you wanted) where when ran it would run tests. It was a neat use of docker IMO, it standardized that builds were just “build the docker file” and running was just “run the dockerfile”. You would t have to deal with tar or anything then.
