Election Orchestra

This software orchestrates the authorities servers to create election public-keys and perform the tallying using mixnet.

Installation

  1. Download from the git repository if you haven't got a copy
    $ git clone https://github.com/sequentciudadana/election-orchestra && cd election-orchestra
  1. Install package and its dependencies
    $ mkvirtualenv myenv
    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
    $ sudo python setup.py install

Configuration

You'll need to generate your own ssl certificate, then configure your favourite web server to be used as the frestq frontend. Also you need to create a database and configure everythin in your a settings.py file. Then do something like the following to initialize the database:

    $ FRESTQ_SETTINGS=settings.py python app.py --createdb

Then launch in a similar way to this (take a look at auth1.ini):

    $ uwsgi --ini auth.ini

To generate a self-signed certificate you can do:

    $ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 1000 -nodes

You can find an example nginx configuration in https://github.com/sequentciudadana/frestq/blob/master/examples/hellossl/nginx_hellossl.conf

Tutorial

For everyday use, you just need to every once and again take a look at what new elections or tallies have been requested, review them, and accept or deny them.

To list pding external tasks, execute the following command:

    $ FRESTQ_SETTINGS=settings.py ./app.py --tasks --filters "task_type=external" "status=executing" 2>/dev/null

    +----------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+-----------------+-----------+-----------+----------------------------+

To show the details of a specific external task, execute:

    $ FRESTQ_SETTINGS=settings.py python app.py --show-external <shortid> 2>/dev/null
