# What is jawanndenn?

# Poll Setup Format

The textarea titled "Setup (JSON)" uses a simple
[JSON](https://www.json.org/)-based format that knows the following
keys:

- `lifetime` — duration after which this poll will be deleted; can be
  `"week"` or `"month"`; an enum-like string
- `options` — a list of strings, one for each option; supports
  [Markdown](https://commonmark.org/help/)-like syntax for: bold,
  italic, inline code
- `title` — the title or headline of the poll to run; supports
  [Markdown](https://commonmark.org/help/)-like syntax for: bold,
  italic, inline code


# Installation

To install the latest release without cloning the Git repository:

```console
# pip3 install jawanndenn --user
```

To install from a Git clone:

```console
# ./setup.py install --user
```


# Deployment with docker-compose

Create a simple file `.env` like this one:

```
JAWANNDENN_POSTGRES_NAME=jawanndenn
JAWANNDENN_POSTGRES_USER=jawanndenn
JAWANNDENN_POSTGRES_PASSWORD=dEb2PIcinemA8poH
JAWANNDENN_SECRET_KEY=606ea88f183a27919d5c27ec7f948906d23fdd7821684eb59e8bcf7377e3853b
```

Make sure to **adjust these values** after copy and paste!

You can then build and run a docker image using
`docker-compose up --build`.

The app is served on `localhost:54080`. PostgreSQL data is saved to
`~/.jawanndenn-docker-pgdata/` on the host system. There is also an
instance of Redis used for cross-process rate limiting, and a "cron"
housekeeping container that will go delete polls that have exceeded
their configured lifetime, every 60 minutes.

(If you need a low-maintenance SSL reverse proxy in front of jawanndenn,
[docker-ssl-reverse-proxy](https://github.com/hartwork/docker-ssl-reverse-proxy)
could be of interest.)

There is a few more environment variables that you could want to adjust
in your environment. Altogether, there are these variables:

## Doing backups with Docker Compose

A simple way to create and apply backups of Django's view on the
PostgreSQL poll data is the following.

Let's assume you add a `docker-compose.override.yml` like this:

```yaml
services:
  jawanndenn:
    volumes:
     - ~/.jawanndenn-docker-backups/:/home/jawanndenn/backups/:rw
```

Now [Django management command `dumpdata`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#dumpdata) can be used to backup the poll data to a JSON file like this:

```console
# docker compose run jawanndenn python3 -m django dumpdata -v3 --format json -o "/home/jawanndenn/backups/data-$(date -I).json"
```

To reset the database to the state of a backup, [Django management `loaddata`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#loaddata) would do the job:

```console
# docker compose run jawanndenn python3 -m django loaddata -v3 /home/jawanndenn/backups/data-2025-05-23.json
```


# Command line usage

When installed, invocation is as simple as

```console
# jawanndenn
```

During development, you may want to run *jawanndenn* from the Git clone
using

```console
# PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m jawanndenn --debug
```

Currently supported arguments are:

```console
# COLUMNS=80 jawanndenn --help
usage: jawanndenn [-h] [--version] [--debug] [--host HOST] [--port PORT]
                  [--url-prefix PATH] [--database-sqlite3 FILE]
                  [--django-secret-key-file FILE] [--max-polls COUNT]
                  [--max-votes-per-poll COUNT] [--dumpdata]
                  [--loaddata FILE.json]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  --debug               Enable debug mode (default: disabled)
  --host HOST           Hostname or IP address to listen at (default:
                        127.0.0.1)
  --port PORT           Port to listen at (default: 8080)
  --url-prefix PATH     Path to prepend to URLs (default: "")
  --database-sqlite3 FILE
                        File to write the database to (default:
                        ~/jawanndenn.sqlite3)
  --django-secret-key-file FILE
                        File to use for Django secret key data (default:
                        ~/jawanndenn.secret_key)

limit configuration:
  --max-polls COUNT     Maximum number of polls total (default: 1000)
  --max-votes-per-poll COUNT
                        Maximum number of votes per poll (default: 40)

data import/export arguments:
  --dumpdata            Dump a JSON export of the database to standard output,
                        then quit.
  --loaddata FILE.json  Load a JSON export of the database from FILE.json,
                        then quit.
```


# Migrating data from jawanndenn 1.x to 2.x

Migration takes four steps:

1.  Update to the latest version of jawanndenn 1.x, e.g. by running:
    `pip2 install --upgrade 'jawanndenn<2'`; the JSON data export was
    first introduced with release 1.6.3.

2.  Export existing polls:
    1.  If you're using the commend line app:
        `python2 -m jawanndenn --dumpdata > dump.json`
    2.  If you're using docker-compose:
        `docker-compose run -T jawanndenn --database-pickle /data/polls.pickle --dumpdata > dump.json`

3.  Deploy latest jawanndenn 2.x somewhere (as described above) or just
    `pip3 install 'jawanndenn>=2'` it somewhere

4.  Import the JSON dump created in step (2):

    1.  If you're using the commend line app:
        `python3 -m jawanndenn --loaddata dump.json`

    2.  If you're using docker-compose:
        `docker-compose run -T jawanndenn sh -c 'cat > /tmp/dump.json && DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=jawanndenn.settings python3 -m django loaddata /tmp/dump.json' < dump.json`
