CTFr

Introduction

CTFR is an optimized complete rewrite of CTFd written with Rust & HTMX. I've personally stuggled to run CTFd performantly, and often had CTFs I've competed in come to a stand still or 5xx when they start.

A CTF platform frontend is extremely simplistic (mostly just static HTML), so let's use HTMX! Of course for the backend, we need performance...so let's use Rust (in the spirit of Meme-Driven-Development)!

Development

CTFr can be run locally for either further development or customization.

[!NOTE] BEFORE you run the following steps make sure:

• You have (a recent version of) Rust installed locally on you machine rustup update && rustup install nightly
• You have docker & docker-compose installed and running

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/MNThomson/CTFr.git && cd CTFr

# 2. In another terminal, run the required postgres docker container
docker-compose up

# 3.1 To start developing, run CTFr
cargo run

# 3.2 Or auto rebuild/run on file save (requires the mold linker & cranelift backend)
cargo r

The development environment is now running and accesible at https://localhost:4321/
