Deployment instructions

The only production deployment method that's supported is in Docker.

Pull the image from ghcr.io/cssuob/society-voting:latest and then run it with:

• a valid configuration file (see below) mounted as /run/config.yml inside the container
• the port 8080 inside the container mapped to wherever you need it outside of the container (unless otherwise changed in the config file)

Sample configuration

Ensure that the following keys are changed:

• guild.sessionToken should be set to the value of the .ASPXAUTH cookie from the Guild of Students website
• platform.discordWebhook.url should be set to a Discord webhook URL. This is optional.
• platform.discordWebhook.threadID should be set to a Discord thread ID that webhook messages should be sent in. This is optional. If specified, the thread should be in the same channel that the webhook is associated with.
• platform.adminToken should be changed

http:
  host: "0.0.0.0"
guild:
  sessionToken: "Your Guild of Students session token from .ASPXAUTH"
  societyID: "6531"
platform:
  societyName: "CSS"
  adminToken: "plzletmeadmin"
  discordWebhook:
    url: "Discord webhook URL (optional)"
    threadID: "Discord thread ID (optional)"
