lbracken/decidr repository overview

⁠decidr

decidr is a project to help organize and prioritize tasks. Tasks are added to a grid and relatively positioned based upon two dimensions of importance -- level of effort and value to project. This can provide clarity about the tasks at hand and order to knock them out.

A running instance is hosted at http://levibracken.com/decidr⁠.

##Running the application

decidr uses MongoDB for persistnce. By default it tries to connect to a mongo instance at localhost:27017. To use a different host:port, update settings.cfg.

To run locally...

$ python decidr.py

You can then access the WebUI at http://localhost:5000⁠.

To run tests...

$ python decidr_tests.py

For tests to pass, you must first load some test data into the DB (see decidr_tests.py header).

⁠Docker

This project can be deployed as a Docker container. The decidr image does not include MongoDB by default, it must be linked to another container with MongoDB. When linking to another container there's no need to update settings.cfg.

To build a decidr image...

$ docker build -t="decidr" .

To start a decidr container (and the official MongoDB container)...

$ docker run -d --name mongo mongo
$ docker run -d -P --name decidr --link mongo:db decidr
