Poll.horse

Simple polling service for public polls

With strawpoll being somewhat very broken I decided to implement my own. Let's go!

What is this

If you have never used strawpoll, in short this is a website to easily make small polls without a fuss.

A live version is available here. This version is always based on the current master branch and release tags.
You want more cutting edge? Under dev.poll.horse you can find the most recent builds based on the current commit of the dev branch. New features can be tested here but the integrity of the database is not guaranteed and may be occasionally wiped.

API

This service offers an API to create and get the status of polls. The API Docs can be found here.

Running your own instance of Poll.Horse

Standalone

  1. Make sure you have Node installed.
  2. Download the latest release zip from the releases page;
  3. Extract the zip file anywhere
  4. Open a shell in in the directory you just extracted to and run npm i --production --ignore-scripts
  5. Start the server with npm start
  6. List all available options with npm start -- --help or use shell options with npm start -- <options>

Docker

  1. Install Docker
  2. Download/clone the contents of this repository
  3. Open a shell in the directory and run docker build -t poll.horse
  4. Use docker run poll.horse
  5. Optionally mount config file at /usr/src/app/config.json
  6. Optionally mount persistent directory to /data

Contributing

The core is written in TypeScript, a typed superset to Javascript and executed with NodeJS. Pull Requests welcome.

Before cloning this repository, make sure you have Node installed.

Then clone this repository, open a terminal/command prompt and type npm i to install the required dependencies.

ts-node is recommended to test during development manually, install it with npm i -g ts-node typescript.

Directory Structure

  • ./dist - The finalized and compiled files that can be used with node
  • ./src - The source files of the project
  • ./test - Files required for unit testing, aka test setup/teardown and test spec files
  • ./utils - Various utility scripts not part of the main source code

Scripts

Execute the scripts with npm run <script>

  • find-todo - Finds remaining TODO: in the code and warns the developer that there are still things that are unfinished
  • mocha - Runs the unit tests in the /test directory
  • lint - Runs eslint and checks for code styling problems
  • build - Compile the TypeScript Source to dist/
  • test - Runs lint, find-todo and mocha in order
  • debug - Start the ./src/main.ts with node and start the debugger on port 9229. Files will be watched for changes.
  • start - Run test and build, then try and execute the ./dist/main.js in the ./dist directory to test

Components

This project makes use of the following components. Thanks a lot to the respective creators:

Special thanks
