La Vida Es Una Tombola

Tombola is a small web application prototype written in Python that simulates a raffle.

To simulate a raffle, a dictionary is randomly shuffled and then words are served until exhausted. Then the dictionary is randomly shuffled again and the process repeats.

A new shuffle can be forced with the /shuffle endpoint.

Deployment

docker run --detach --publish=8000:8000 kuralabs/tombola:latest

To create your own words dictionary create a file words.txt with one word(s) to show per line. For example:

hello world
good bye
my friend

Then, mount it to the container as follows:

docker run --volume /path/to/mywords.txt:/src/words.txt --detach --publish=8000:8000 kuralabs/tombola:latest

By default the /shuffle endpoint is unprotected. To setup a secret set the SHUFFLE_SECRET environment variable. For example:

docker run --env SHUFFLE_SECRET=mysupersecret --volume /path/to/mywords.txt:/src/words.txt --detach --publish=8000:8000 kuralabs/tombola:latest

If set, the endpoint needs to be called with:

/shuffle?secret=mysupersecret

The application will answer with a happy emoji if the shuffle succeeded (and HTTP code 200 OK), or a skeptical face with raised eyebrow (and HTTP code 401 Unauthorized) if the secret mismatched.

Development

A Python environment with Tox is required.

To run the application in development mode:

tox

The application will be available in http://localhost:8000/

Optionally, the Docker image can be built with:

tox -e build
