A database for electoral contests
A tool to keep track of keeping in touch with legislators and power brokers for serious political change.
.env are not secure (the salt is "salt" and the reset password is password).Copy template.env to .env and fill out the variables.
It is intended that you will use docker and docker compose. You'll need to copy variables.env.example to variables.env and set the values and then run the commands below via command line to get started:
Run this command:
docker-compose build
Then run the container:
docker-compose up
Your app should be running. You can now view the logs to make sure and find the url:
docker-compose logs --follow
If you need terminal access inside your application (for example, to install npm dependencies):
docker-compose exec api bash
(Note: exec requires that we choose a service, which is why we have to specify api, which is defined in our docker/docker-compose.yml)
Open up terminal access inside the container (see above) and run ./bin/wipe in order to initialize the database. Then run ./bin/adduser someone@example.org password to add a new user.
You can now log into the application and begin using it. Add new users as necessary.
If you are persisting mysql data and attempting to change connection data, it
may get unhappy. In particular if you forget to set root credentials you may get
an error about that authentication type being unsupported. If you don't have any
data yet, you can wipe the mysql directory with sudo rm -rf mysql. If you do
have data, you will probably need to change the credentials back, ssh into the
container, run queries to update them, exit, update the variables, and then
restart the containers again.
TODO: It seems when bootstrapping the repo the tables aren't already created? This is a problem.
