Open source poll for slack

Welcome to the open source poll for slack.
This repository is hosted on GitLab. Github repository is only a mirror.
But feel free to open new issues on both.

Important update

If you have an error when submitting poll, please use the "Add to slack" button on site to re-authorize the bot on your workspace

Migrate to v3

To upgrade to v3, you need to have a mongo database.
Setup your config/default.json with new database url and database name:

• mongo_url: the url to connect to your mongo database
• mongo_db_name: your mongo database name

After that, migrate your old database to the mongo with the script:
At the root directory, run ./scripts/migrate-v3.sh [MONGO_URL] [MONGO_DB_NAME]
Replace [MONGO_URL] by the same mongo_url and [MONGO_DB_NAME] with the same mongo_db_name set in your config/default.json.
As an example, with the default data from config/default.json.dist, the command line to migrate is:

./scripts/migrate-v3.sh mongodb://localhost:27017 open_poll
