What is Bitpoll?
Bitpoll is a Django-based tool for scheduling meetings and running polls, rewritten from the earlier Dudel project. Organizers can create polls for full-day events or specific time slots with custom time classes. Polls can be public or private (invite-only), and voting can be anonymous or require a name with optional registration. The software supports LDAP authentication and OpenID Connect via Keycloak for single sign-on. Deployment options include a Docker image on ghcr.io (exposing uwsgi on port 3008 and HTTP on 3009) or a manual Python installation managed with uv. The default database is SQLite; PostgreSQL is available for production. The interface provides a multi-step poll creation wizard, a voting screen, and a results view. No dark mode, mobile app, or FAQ are documented.
