You can either run the application locally or via Docker.

To run weg.li locally, you'll need:

• Ruby
• PostgreSQL with postgis
• NodeJS & Yarn
• Redis

See this guide which guides you through installing Ruby, Rails and PostgreSQL.

Complete the setup by installing the Redis server at the end.

apt install redis

Please follow this guide if you have not ever installed Ruby on your computer.

# global setup
brew install rbenv # ruby environemnt

brew install yarn # yarn

brew install postgresql # database
brew install postgis # GIS extension for Postgresql
createuser -s postgres # create general purpose postgres user

brew install imagemagick # image-processing

# project setup
bin/setup

# install ruby runtime
rbenv install

# run this to start the rails process
script/server

# build the app
docker-compose build
# start services
docker-compose up
# setup database
docker-compose exec app bundle exec rails db:setup
# generate test data
docker-compose exec app bundle exec rake dev:data

After installing the dependencies and running the server, you should be able to log in via “email” by visiting http://localhost:3000/sessions/email and following the prompts. No email will be sent - the generated email is opened in your browser.

Once you have successfully authenticated, make your user an admin: Start the rails console (run rails c in your project directory), then enter User.last.update(access: 'admin'), which should result in => true. Now you should be able to access the admin interface at /admin.

For proper functionality, you need to populate your database with districts.

To fabricate random districts, run rake dev:data. This will synthesize all the kinds of data you need to get dashboards, stats, etc. working right.

If you want to get as close as possible to a “production” system, the easiest way is to import data from the production instance. Download an export format from https://www.weg.li/districts.csv (or .json) and import it into your local database. Example using the rails console (rails c):

> districts = JSON.parse(URI.open('https://www.weg.li/districts.json').read); districts.count
=> 3377
> District.insert_all!(districts.map{ |x| x.except('personal_email').merge({'flags': x['personal_email'] ? 1 : 0}) }); District.count
=> 3377

You need to set the following environment variables to enable full functionality for weg.li:

GITHUB_CONSUMER_KEY=github-key
GITHUB_CONSUMER_SECRET=github-secret

TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=twitter-key
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=twitter-secret

GOOGLE_CONSUMER_KEY=google-key
GOOGLE_CONSUMER_SECRET=google-secret

These are used to let users authenticate with the different providers. Learn how to create your own keys: GitHub, Twitter, Google.

In addition, weg.li uses Google Cloud Storage for storing uploaded data and Google Cloud Vision to read license plates and determine car makes and colors. You will need to create a Google Cloud Project and set up the required API access for Google Cloud Storage and Google Cloud Vision. Be aware that you might be billed for Google Cloud usage. Please refer to the Google Cloud documentation, and set the following environment variables accordingly:

GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=google-cloud-project-id
GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEYFILE=path/to/project/keyfile/gcloud.json

For local use, you can put these variables into a .env file in the project directory, and the dotenv gem will automatically make them available to your rails app. (See .env-example.)
