Roadmap 2 for INGInious

gistfile1.md

• Use gevent
  • For now we start threads for each agent/connection/job/...
  • This is inneficient, as most of them only wait for one or other socket (either from Docker or from RPyC)
  • Using gevent will be faster and pose less stress to the OS, that is already way too stressed by Docker
  • This needs some work:
    • RPyC and Docker-py do not support gevent from scratch
    • https://github.com/smurfix/playground/blob/master/Pinako/geventrpyc/__init__.py provides a gevent-compatible RPyC server
    • Docker-py may work from scratch, as it uses only pythonic features, but this needs to be tested
• Websockets? To handle the task page (status update of jobs)
  • probably needs gevent
  • I love Socket.io
• Interactive tasks
  • needs websockets
  • probably a good way to extend INGInious to other type of exercices
  • the 'ssh' debug mode should be implemented with an interactive task
• ...
