Vocdoni is the first universally verifiable, censorship-resistant, anonymous, and self-sovereign governance protocol.
Our main aim is a trustless voting system where anyone can speak their voice and where everything is auditable.
We are engineering building blocks for a permissionless, private and censorship resistant democracy.

explorer-ui

This repository contains the frontend web application that acts as an 'explorer' for the Vocdoni voting blockchain. This explorer allows you to see elections, organizations, and individual votes, as well as raw blocks on the blockchain. It is a react application available to the public at https://explorer.vote/.

Getting Started

Docker Builds

There are two types of docker images: bootstrap generated and fully static. The type of image selected depends on the Dockerfile used:

  • Dockerfile: By default, the image includes all NodeJS dependencies, and generates the static site at bootstrap based on the env vars provided. Hence, the initial run of the image takes few minutes to start since it has to build itself. This image is for testing and/or development purposes.

  • Dockerfile.static: This image generates the static site at build time, and serves the content with nginx, so once it's built no parameters can be configured at runtime. It starts instantly as you would expect. This is a final image, to be used in production environments.

Docker compose deployment

To deploy using Docker Compose follow these instructions.

Prerequisites

  • GNU/Linux based operating system
  • Docker engine (version 19.03 or above) Installation
  • Docker compose (version 1.24 or above) Installation
  • A DNS domain

Environment Variables

Configure a .env file with the following variables:

  • API_URL Api url for the Vocdoni API
  • VOCDONI_UI_TAG Docker tag of the image (master, stg, release)
  • VOCDONI_ENVIRONMENT Environment type (dev, stg, prod)
  • ETH_NETWORK_ID Ethereum network ID (xdai, goerli...)
  • DOMAIN Domain name to be served. Used by Traefik to fetch SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt
  • LE_EMAIL Email associated to the domain. Used by Traefik to fetch SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt

Optional:

  • COMMIT_SHA Git commit hash to be used as an html tag
  • VERIFY_SINGLE_PAGE Use a single-page layout for the frontend
  • BLOCK_TIME Estimated time for each Vocdoni blockchain block
  • PLAZA_URL Vocdoni application URL for organization profile links
  • NODE_ENV If 'development', deploy the site in development mode. This does not set the vocdoni environment
  • APP_TITLE
  • APP_DESCRIPTION
  • APP_TAGS

Deployment

Pull the images

docker-compose pull

Deploy all services

docker-compose up -d

After a while, the UI should be ready at https://<yourdomain>

Github actions

Github actions are configured to build the Docker image and push it to the registry. The deployment is done using docker-compose.

The changes pushed to ghcr.io are for the branches master, stg and any starting with release.

Preview

The explorer is deployed for multiple environments:
