Node.js voting system using the MAC address to identify voters.

This web app is meant to be run on a local network from a Linux machine, such as a Raspberry Pi. The MAC address of the client/voter is only available in this configuration because it uses the local ARP cache to resolve the MAC address from the IP.

Deploy

On a Raspberry Pi:

  1. sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local
  2. Append
cd /home/pi/nodejs-vote-by-mac
/usr/bin/nodejs /home/pi/nodejs-vote-by-mac/server.js &

Usage

  • Votes are cast by visiting the URL /NUMBER.
  • A vote for 0 is used to delete the vote.
  • Votes are stored in RAM and lost when the server is restarted.
  • Configuration options are available in the file config.js.
  • Configuration options can be modified by visiting the URL /config.

API

The following JSON endpoints are available for integrations.

  • /votes an unmasked dictionary of all the votes.
  • /results a dictionary of the results of the votes.
  • /winners a list of winners (more than one if there's a tie).
  • /random make a random vote from a random MAC for testing.
