Hosting platform for multiple users

A solution to host and manage individual Juice Shop instances for multiple users is MultiJuicer. MultiJuicer is a Kubernetes based system to start up the required Juice Shop instances on demand. It will also clean up unused instances after a configured period of inactivity.

MultiJuicer v8.2.0 comes with a custom-built load balancer. It allows every participant (or a CTF team) to use the same URL, but their traffic will always be sent to their own personal (or team-specific) instance.

Registration at MultiJuicer is very straightforward for the users/teams. Messing with other instances is prevented by assigning a passcode to each of them which should only be shared among team members - or not at all for individuals.

MultiJuicer comes with a Score Board of its own, which allows teams to compare their progress through the Juice Shop challenges. Teams can even drill down into their own team-specific or challenge-specific details.

For administrators, MultiJuicer provides a convenient overview of all active teams along with their challenge progress, current cheat score, and the possibility to reset or delete their Juice Shop instance.

Another helpful feature for trainers and CTf-organizers is the optional dashboard which automatically consumes and displays metrics from each of its Juice Shop instances. It shows individual challenge progress along with other functional and technical stats and can be very helpful in troubleshooting as well.

The MultiJuicer repository offers guidance on how to set up the system on different cloud provider platforms:
