elecnoms

elecnoms is a microservice that handles nominations for the Elections website.

Why

Nominations are a sufficiently detached section of the Elections site. Much of the Elections API needs to be overhauled, so we're going to start by implementing this new service in Go.

Documentation

You need to have 3 environment variables setup to run this app: CMS_TOKEN - The Union CMS API token, provided by the Union Sysadmins DATABASE_URL - a standard USER:PASS@tcp(DB_IP_ADDRESS:DB_PORT)/DB_NAME database connection string SESSION_SECRET - a random string the syncs with the equivalent setting on elections

Directions on how to run the app can be further derived from the Dockerfile.

Coming soon.
