What is OpenSlides?
===================

OpenSlides is a free, web based presentation and assembly system for
managing and projecting agenda, motions and elections of an assembly. See
https://openslides.com for more information.

Installation
============

The main deployment method is using docker and docker-compose. You just need
both installed and no further dependencies. If you want a simpler setup or are
interesed in developing, please refer to `development instructions <https://github.com/OpenSlides/OpenSlides/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT.rst>`_.

Note: This is temporary and will be replace with nice scripts...

First, you have to clone this repository::

    $ git clone https://github.com/OpenSlides/OpenSlides.git
    $ cd OpenSlides/docker/

You need to build the docker images for the client and server with this script::

    $ ./build.sh

We strongly recomment to set an initial admin password and create a second
non-admin user. Both are not strictly required (and a missing admin password will print warnings on the
startup), but if you want to have a secure setup, do::

    $ cp secrets/admin.env.example secrets/admin.env
    $ cp secrets/user.env.example secrets/user.env
    $ vi secrets/admin.env
    $ vi secrets/user.env

If the server and client are built, you can use ``docker-compose`` as usual
(except for the ``build`` method)::

    $ docker-compose up
    $ # or:
    $ docker-compose up -d
    $ docker-compose logs
    $ # ...
    $ docker-compose down

OpenSlides is listening on port 8000. It can be changed in the
``docker/docker-compose.yml``.
