Updates the user-facing docs to match the install flow after the friction fixes landed: README.md Quick Start block now reflects reality: install.sh host-port check, test-deployment.sh verify step, password file location, and the useful-tools block (validate-env, test-deployment, pangolin-teardown, ccp-deregister). mkdocs prerequisites.md New warning block under Linux Server covering the cockpit-on-9090 class of port collisions, pointing at the installer's ss-based preflight and validate-env.sh for manual checks. Checklist gains a host-port line. mkdocs installation.md "What install.sh does" now enumerates the new port check and disk check. Configuration Wizard Step 4 notes the data/admin-credentials.txt persistence for auto-generated passwords. "Verifying Installation" rewritten around test-deployment.sh. New "Clean reset before reinstall" block with the teardown sequence. mkdocs first-steps.md Log In step tells users where to find the generated password when they ran config.sh -y without --admin-password. mkdocs control-panel.md New "Registering an Existing Install (Phone-Home)" section covering invite code, --ccp-* flags, approval, rate-limit + backoff behaviour, and the ccp-deregister.sh teardown path with the slug-conflict rationale.

Changemaker Lite consolidates advocacy campaigns, geographic mapping, volunteer canvassing, media management, newsletters, and administration into a single Docker Compose stack. One `.env` file, one command to start, everything under your control.

## Why Changemaker Lite?
|
|
|
|
Most campaign tools are SaaS platforms that lock you into monthly subscriptions, hold your data hostage, and disappear when funding dries up. Changemaker Lite is different:
|
|
|
|
- **Self-hosted** -- runs on any machine with Docker. Your server, your data.
|
|
- **All-in-one** -- replaces 5-10 separate tools with a single integrated platform.
|
|
- **Free and open source** -- Apache 2.0 licensed. Fork it, modify it, make it yours.
|
|
- **Privacy-first** -- no telemetry, no third-party analytics, no data leaving your server.
|
|
|
|
## What's Inside
|
|
|
|
### Advocacy Campaigns
|
|
|
|
Let supporters look up their elected representatives by postal code and send advocacy emails in a few clicks. Track responses, moderate a public response wall, and monitor email delivery.

</p>
|
|
|
|
### Interactive Map & Canvassing
|
|
|
|
Import thousands of addresses, draw canvassing areas, schedule volunteer shifts, and track door-to-door visits with GPS. Volunteers get a full-screen mobile map with real-time location tracking and visit recording.

|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
### Volunteer Portal
|
|
|
|
Volunteers get their own portal with shift sign-ups, canvassing assignments, activity tracking, a social calendar, and a friends system to stay connected with their team.

## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
### Production (pre-built images)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. One-command install: checks host ports, downloads tarball, runs config wizard
|
|
curl -fsSL https://gitea.bnkops.com/admin/changemaker.lite/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
|
|
|
|
# 2. Start services (first pull ~3 min + ~90s stabilization)
|
|
cd ~/changemaker.lite && docker compose up -d
|
|
|
|
# 3. Verify the install
|
|
bash scripts/test-deployment.sh --wait 60
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The installer checks your host's port availability before extracting — no more half-started stacks from cockpit on `:9090` or other surprises. The generated admin password is printed to stdout **and** saved to `data/admin-credentials.txt` (mode 0600). See [Prerequisites](https://cmlite.org/docs/getting-started/prerequisites/) for what you need lined up first.
|
|
|
|
### Development (source)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone <repo-url> changemaker.lite
|
|
cd changemaker.lite
|
|
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# Edit .env -- set passwords, JWT secrets, admin credentials
|
|
|
|
docker compose up -d v2-postgres redis api admin
|
|
docker compose exec api npx prisma migrate deploy
|
|
docker compose exec api npx prisma db seed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then open **http://localhost:3000** and log in with the admin credentials from your `.env`.
|
|
|
|
### Useful tools
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash scripts/validate-env.sh # re-check .env + host ports
|
|
bash scripts/test-deployment.sh # full deployment health sweep
|
|
bash scripts/pangolin-teardown.sh # wipe tunnel org before reinstall (dry-run by default)
|
|
bash scripts/ccp-deregister.sh # deregister from Changemaker Control Panel (dry-run by default)
|
|
```
|
|
|
