How to Install DOMJudge on Void Linux

DOMJudge is an online judge system for programming contests. It allows you to host contests and automate the judging of submissions. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DOMJudge on Void Linux.

Requirements

Before we get started, make sure that you have the following:

• A machine running Void Linux.
• Root access or the ability to use sudo.
• Access to the internet.

Installation

1. First, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S postgresql postgresql-client libpqxx-devel mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-libs gcc make cmake

2. Next, we need to download the DOMJudge source code. You can do this using Git by running the following command:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/DOMjudge/domjudge.git /opt/domjudge

3. Now, we need to install the DOMJudge dependencies. Change into the /opt/domjudge directory and run the following command:

sudo ./configure --with-db=pgsql --with-mysql --prefix=/opt/domjudge

This command will configure the DOMJudge installation and install the necessary dependencies.

4. Once the dependencies are installed, we can build and install DOMJudge. Run the following command:

sudo make install

This command will build and install DOMJudge to the /opt/domjudge directory.

5. Finally, we need to initialize the DOMJudge databases. Change into the /opt/domjudge directory and run the following command:

sudo ./bin/dj-setup-database -u root -r install

This command will initialize the PostgreSQL and MySQL databases that we installed earlier.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install DOMJudge on Void Linux. With this installation, you'll be able to host programming contests with ease. If you have any issues or questions, feel free to consult the DOMJudge documentation or reach out to the DOMJudge development team for additional support.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
