Bitpoll is a software to conduct polls about Dates, Times or general Questions.

This is a new version of the Dudel from opatut (https://github.com/opatut/dudel) used on <mafiasi.de>, rewritten using the Django framework as a backend.

• set if anonymous votes are casted or if the user must provide it's name

• URL can be set manually or randomly choosen

Poll creation pannel What the user see when choosing a combination and here are the result being displayed

you can deploy this tool on your server either by manually clonning the repo and setting it up or you can run a docker image.

docker build --tag <imagename>
cd <workdir>
mkdir -p run/{log,static,config}
cp <original_dir>/bitpoll/settings_local.py run/config/settings.py
vim run/config/settings.py
docker run -a stdout -a stderr --rm --name bitpoll -p 3008:3008 -p 3009:3009 --volume `pwd`/run/static:/opt/static --volume `pwd`/run/config:/opt/config --volume `pwd`/run/log/:/opt/log <image_name>

The Static assets from /run/static have to be served from the Webserver at /static/. The Container listens for uwsgi traffic on Port 3008 and for HTTP traffic on Port 8009

TODO: add example nginx Config

Get the code:

git clone https://github.com/fsinfuhh/Bitpoll

Generate a Python virtualenv and install dependencies:

virtualenv -p $(which python3) .pyenv
source .pyenv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy bitpoll/settings_local.sample.py to bitpoll/settings_local.py and customize the local settings.

Initialise Database:

./manage.py migrate

Run Testserver:

./manage.py runserver

In production Senty is used for error reporting. django-auth-ldap is used vor login via ldap uwsgi to serve the app

Install Dependencies for Production:

sudo apt install g++ make python3-psycopg2 python3-ldap3 gettext gcc python3-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev

Install Python Dependencies

pip install -r requirements-production.txt

Configure examples are in settings_local.py

our used uwsgi config can be found at https://github.com/fsinfuhh/mafiasi-rkt/blob/master/bitpoll/uwsgi-bitpoll.ini

For Production systems it is nessesarry to run

./manage.py compilemessages
./manage.py collectstatic

We use pip-tools to manage the dependencies. After modification or the requirements*.in files or for updates of packages run

pip-compile --upgrade --output-file requirements.txt requirements.in
pip-compile --upgrade --output-file requirements-production.txt  requirements-production.in requirements.in

to sync your enviroment with the requirements.txt just run

pip-sync

this will install/deinstall dependencies so that the virtualenv is matching the requirements file
