Free Open-Source participatory democracy, citizen participation and open government for cities and organizations

This is the open-source repository for Participa Cloud Demo, based on Decidim.

cp .env.example .env
touch .env.development
docker-compose up -d

docker-compose down

Update your Gemfile, where 0.16.0 is the last published version.

DECIDIM_VERSION = "0.16.0"

gem "decidim", DECIDIM_VERSION
gem "decidim-dev", DECIDIM_VERSION

Run these commands to upgrade and make sure you get all the latest migrations:

docker-compose run app bundle update decidim
docker-compose run app rails decidim:upgrade
docker-compose run app rails db:migrate

For quick-starting on development environment, we recommend on using the demo data (seeds). You can use them with:

docker-compose run app rails db:seed

For production environment, you will want to start on a new database.

You will need to do some steps before having the app working properly once you've deployed it:

1. Open a Rails console in the server: bundle exec rails console
2. Create a System Admin user:

user = Decidim::System::Admin.new(email: <email>, password: <password>, password_confirmation: <password>)
user.save!

3. Visit <your app url>/system and login with your system admin credentials
4. Create a new organization. Check the locales you want to use for that organization, and select a default locale.
5. Set the correct default host for the organization, otherwise the app will not work properly. Note that you need to include any subdomain you might be using.
6. Fill the rest of the form and submit it.

You're good to go!
