Challenge and server monitoring/health checks

[thebongy]

Need to setup some sort of a script to keep performing health checks on each challenge (and the CTFd platform), and possibly notify us too, if something is going wrong. Could also maybe automatically restart service

Another idea is to also integrate this with the discord bot we were planning to make

[theProgrammerDavid]

For challenges where the flag is a file, we could run a cron job which pings the discord bot with the status of the flag and other stuff. What do you think

Let's also keep this issue to keep track of what challenge is deployed where @roerohan @theProgrammerDavid so its easy to do health checks later, i'll post a list

Tracking Challenge Deployment

Challenges are deployed to ctf-chall-dev.csivit.com.
DO NOT SHARE THIS DOMAIN NAME/IP OUTSIDE CSI until the CTF starts!!!

NOTE: Exposing a port in the challenge.yml only tells ctfup to provision a k8 service to expose the port on the cluster. You also need to manually add a firewall rule on the cluster to allow the port, this is mostly done to avoid unnecessary ports being exposed

Append to list

• only check deployed when has been tested (means you are able to solve the challenge, and obtain the flag)
• only check healthcheck when discord bot successfully performs a health check on the challenge
