Downing JCR's BOB GUI

This repository provides a GUI for listing and/or managing BOB ballot instances.

This bob-gui is branded and configured for Downing JCR, and also includes a custom self-identification script.

The original source code is available here.

Thanks to CUSU and mvl22 for developing and maintaining the software - its age is showing but it is still very much functional and our JCR depends on it!

Deployment

Good luck!

See CUSU's bob-gui-deploy for some hints - but don't run the script verbatim under any circumstances, who knows what it will do to your server.

Some more hints:

• Use apache2 and mod_ucam_webauth unless you want your life to be really hard
• Set your VirtualHost's DOCUMENT_ROOT to the path of the public_html directory
• The default configuration expects BOB in /var/www/voting/bob and OpenSTV in /var/www/voting/openstv.
