Install

This project requires Docker and Docker Compose.

Settings

To run the API, you must copy the .env.sample to a .env file. You can edit it accordingly if you want run in a production env.

Creating the container

You need to create the docker container:

$ docker-compose up -d

Database initial setup

You should create your database by applying migrations:

$ docker-compose run django ./manage.py migrate

Running

To run the project locally, you can simply use this command:

$ docker-compose up

The website and API will be available at localhost:8000 and the Jupyter at localhost:8888.

Bringing data in your database

Your local data/ directory is mapped, inside the container, to /mnt/data. Each command uses a CSV (compressed as .xz or not) from a public and available source. Use --help for more info. Yet some extra data can be generated with some Django custom commands.

Once you have download the datasets to data/, the roadmap is:

$ docker-compose run django python manage.py load_affiliations /mnt/data/filiacao.csv
$ docker-compose run django python manage.py load_candidates /mnt/data/candidatura.csv
$ docker-compose run django python manage.py link_affiliations_and_candidates
$ docker-compose run django python manage.py link_politicians_and_election_results
