This repo contains infrastructure for the ngEHT Challenge website, namely:
- an nginx configuration file, which mostly serves up static content pages
- a small webserver based on
aiohttpto handle uploads - some code to post information about uploads to a Slack channel
The webserver code has support for asynchronously running cpu-intensive tasks (run_burner())
and command line programs (run_external_exec()). The latter is currently used to test
the integrity of uploaded zip archives. The webserver also has a route /upload-test
intended to be used for uptime monitoring.
The webpages for upload success or failure are templated with Jinja2.
