a simple webserver for secret voting.
- sends emails via SMTP to invite all users to vote!
- Full localisation. To add a new language, run
pybabel init -i messages.pot -d app/translations -l <iso-code>, edit the new .pot file inapp/translations/<iso_code>/LC_MESSAGES/messages.poand create a pull request!
Requires
- Python3
- flask
- flask-babel
- (docker)
set environment variables:
- SMTP_HOST location (IP or DN) of SMTP server
- SMTP_PORT port of SMTP server
- SMTP_FROM e-mail address to send from
host e.g. as uwsgi socket, see flask docs.
Alternatively, you can run the application inside a docker container with the handy script ./start.sh. Might want to change the port from 8080 to something that is available on your machine.
install with
$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
and run a test server with
$ python3 main.py
run a test mail server, e.g. MailHog with docker run -p 8026:8025 -p 1026:1025 mailhog/mailhog
To create a poll:
http://localhost:5000/create
the people's names that are eligible for voting must be seperated with a new line.
To vote:
http://localhost:5000/vote_<poll_id>?user=<user_id>
The name you enter must exactly match one of the names entered before to authenticate you.
To see the results:
http://localhost:5000/result_<poll_id>?user=<user_id>
You are only allowed to see the results, after you have given a vote.
- salt email hashes so they can't be found from email alone
- set language of email by looking at tld
- add observers that can view results without voting
- possibility to change the possible answers for the vote
- add option in create form, whether to list emails in plain text in result
- option for vote end time
- block result viewing for specific time or until number of votes reached
- send email to poll creater, when voting is done
- favicon
- uncommit automatically created localisation files
- write some tests :)
