Self-host Planning Poker

A hassle-free Planning Poker application to deploy on your NAS.

What is it?

This application is intended as a simplified and self-hostable alternative to Planning Poker Online.

It features:

• Multiple deck types: Fibonacci, modified Fibonacci, T-Shirt sizes, powers of 2 and trust vote (0 to 5)
• Spectator mode
• Responsive layout
• Vote summary
• Translations (English, French, German, Italian and Polish. Contributions welcome!)

It does not have fancy features like issues management, Jira integration or timers.

I'm a user and want to contribute translations

There is a Crowdin project that lets you add translations for your language. If your language is not available, feel free to contact me over Crowdin.

Development

The app consists of two parts:

• a back-end written in Python with Flask, Flask-SocketIO and peewee.
• a front-end written with Angular and Socket.IO.

Back-end development

You must first initialise a virtual environment and install the dependencies

# Run the following commands in the flask/ folder
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Then launching the development server is as easy as that:

FLASK_DEBUG=1 python app.py

Run unit tests

After initalizing the virtual environment, run this command in the flask/ directory:

python -m unittest

Front-end development

Note: You might want to test the front-end against a back-end. You can either follow the instructions in the previous section to install and run it locally or use the following command to run it in a Docker container:

docker run --rm -it \
  -v $(pwd)/flask:/app \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  python:3.11-slim \
  bash -c "cd /app; pip install -r requirements.txt; FLASK_DEBUG=1 gunicorn --worker-class eventlet -w 1 app:app --bind 0.0.0.0:5000"

First make sure that Node.js (preferably LTS) is installed. Then, install dependencies and launch the development server

# Run the following commands in the angular/ folder
npm install
npm start
