This is a fork of https://github.com/civictech-ie/counciltracker-ie which ran counciltracker.ie.

Council Tracker is a Rails app that tracks and publishes the motions, amendments, and votes of Dublin City councillors. It also includes data entry functionalities for volunteers to keep it up to date.

Get set up

Requirements

• Ruby 3.2.2
• PostgreSQL (this README assumes the database server runs in a Docker container)

Setting up the database from a seed dump file

1. Contact the team to get a live database connection string or a dump file.
2. (Skip if you have a dump file) With the database connection string, pg_dump -Fp --no-acl --no-owner DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING > counciltracker.dump.
3. Spin up a database container docker run --name counciltracker_development -e POSTGRES_USER="$USER" -e POSTGRES_DB=counciltracker_development -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust -p 5432:5432 -d postgres.
4. Import the dump file docker exec -i counciltracker_development psql -U $USER -d counciltracker_development < counciltracker.dump.

Setting up the Rails app

1. bundle install
2. bundle exec rails server
3. If you get an error about webpacker, you may also need to run bundle exec rails webpacker:install.
