README

elex-admin is a lightweight, Flask-based CRUD admin for election results data loaded with elex-loader and elex.

Getting started

• Set up software and environment.

  clone git@github.com:newsdev/elex-admin.git && cd elex-admin
  rtualenv elex-admin
  install -r py3.requirements.txt
  

  Add a new racedate to the admin

• Duplicate the most recent racedate.ini file in elex_admin/. Name it with your new racedate.
• In that file, increment the http-socket port by 1 (eg. 127.0.0.1:8047 -> 127.0.0.1:8048)
• Edit elex_admin/races.conf: Duplicate the last location {} object and change the racedate and proxy_pass port number to match the settings in the .ini file you just made.
• Then run these commands:

  on elex-admin
  e:stg master pull
  e:prd master pull
  

  You'll then want to go run the elex-dotfiles commands to turn on the new racedate in the admin.

Running the admin

• This project requires Adcom for its theme. You can deploy Adcom to a CDN like Amazon S3 and then specify the root of the URL in an environment variable.

  rt RACEDATE=2016-02-01
  rt ELEX_ADMIN_CDN_URL=http://my.cdn.url.com/cdn
  

• Run bootstrap.sh, init.sh and update.sh from elex-loader.

• Run python elex_admin/initialize_racedate.py to set up candidates and races for overrides.

• Run the admin.

  on -m elex_admin.app
  

  See all races for a racedate
