# Deploying Eos
|
|
|
|
## General
|
|
|
|
Install the web dependencies.
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/Eos/eosweb/core
|
|
bower install
|
|
|
|
Install the Python dependencies. (If doing this in a virtualenv, add the virtualenv path to *.gitignore*.)
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/Eos
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
Build the JavaScript code.
|
|
|
|
./build_js.sh
|
|
|
|
## Standalone
|
|
|
|
Create *local_settings.py*.
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/Eos
|
|
cp local_settings{.example,}.py
|
|
|
|
Modify *local_settings.py* as required.
|
|
|
|
Launch the server.
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/Eos
|
|
FLASK_APP=eosweb EOSWEB_SETTINGS=$PWD/local_settings.py python -m flask run
|
|
|
|
Access Eos at http://localhost:5000/.
|
|
|
|
## Heroku
|
|
|
|
Add a MongoDB (recommended) or PostgreSQL resource to your Heroku app.
|
|
|
|
Set up the Heroku app.
|
|
|
|
heroku git:remote -a your-app-12345
|
|
|
|
Create *local_settings.py*.
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/Eos
|
|
cp local_settings{.example,}.py
|
|
|
|
Modify *local_settings.py* as required. Take special note of `BASE_URI` and the database information.
|
|
|
|
Set environment variables.
|
|
|
|
heroku config:set EOSWEB_SETTINGS=/app/local_settings.py
|
|
|
|
Push the changes to the Heroku app.
|
|
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m 'For Heroku'
|
|
git push heroku master
|
|
|
|
Access Eos at https://your-app-12345.herokuapp.com/.

# Administering an election
|
|
|
|
There is not yet a GUI for administering an election – this must be done through the command line/Python interface.
|
|
|
|
## Creating an election
|
|
|
|
Firstly, access the Flask shell. Locally, run:
|
|
|
|
FLASK_APP=eosweb EOSWEB_SETTINGS=$PWD/local_settings.py python -m flask shell
|
|
|
|
If on Heroku, run:
|
|
|
|
heroku run FLASK_APP=eosweb python -m flask shell
|
|
|
|
Then create the election using the Python API. For example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from eos.core.objects import *
|
|
from eos.base.election import *
|
|
from eos.psr.crypto import *
|
|
from eos.psr.election import *
|
|
from eos.psr.workflow import *
|
|
|
|
election = PSRElection()
|
|
election.workflow = PSRWorkflow()
|
|
|
|
# Set election details
|
|
election.name = 'Test Election'
|
|
#election.kind = 'referendum' # Uncomment this line to change the kind of vote being held
|
|
|
|
from eos.redditauth.election import RedditUser
|
|
election.voters.append(UserVoter(user=EmailUser(name='Alice', email='alice@localhost')))
|
|
election.voters.append(UserVoter(user=EmailUser(name='Bob', email='bob@localhost')))
|
|
election.voters.append(UserVoter(user=EmailUser(name='Carol', email='carol@localhost')))
|
|
election.voters.append(UserVoter(user=RedditUser(username='RunasSudo')))
|
|
|
|
# At least two mixing trustees are required to preserve ballot secrecy
|
|
election.mixing_trustees.append(InternalMixingTrustee(name='Eos Voting'))
|
|
election.mixing_trustees.append(InternalMixingTrustee(name='Eos Voting'))
|
|
|
|
election.sk = EGPrivateKey.generate()
|
|
election.public_key = election.sk.public_key
|
|
|
|
election.questions.append(ApprovalQuestion(prompt='Pineapple on pizza?', choices=[Choice(name='Yes'), Choice(name='No')], min_choices=0, max_choices=1))
|
|
|
|
# Freeze election
|
|
election.workflow.get_task('eos.base.workflow.TaskConfigureElection').enter()
|
|
|
|
# Open voting
|
|
election.workflow.get_task('eos.base.workflow.TaskOpenVoting').enter()
|
|
|
|
election.save()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using the email log in method (`EmailUser`), you can additionally email the log in details using, for example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
for voter in election.voters:
|
|
if isinstance(voter, UserVoter):
|
|
if isinstance(voter.user, EmailUser):
|
|
voter.user.email_password(app.config['SMTP_HOST'], app.config['SMTP_PORT'], app.config['SMTP_USER'], app.config['SMTP_PASS'], app.config['SMTP_FROM'])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now be able to see the election in the web interface.
|
|
|
|
Exit the Flask shell by pressing Ctrl+D.
|
|
|
|
## Administrating an election
|
|
|
|
Provided that you are logged in using an administrator account (defined using the `ADMINS` option in *local_settings.py*), you will be able to further administer the election from the ‘Administrate this election’ tab in the web interface.
