 ===== Stuff to know =====
-Due to an impossible to find bug, the Docker image includes a shim which will restart the application after the conclusion of a vote. Don't be alarmed if you cannot immediately see the results, just refresh the page after a few seconds. For that reason, you may want to set the session signing token to a fixed value so users aren't logged out after every vote.

For that reason, you may want to set the session signing token to a fixed value so users aren't logged out after every vote.
 On that vein, if the Docker container fails to start with some message that ''prod-shim.sh'' is not executable, ''chmod +x'' the file ''src/deploy/prod-shim.sh'' first and rebuild the image. Sometimes git does not retain the file execute bit for some reason when checking out branches.
+It is possible the bug is actually fixed now, but I do not want to test it in an actual election (which unfortunately has been the only situation where the bug has presented itself).((Theo claims to have tested this in a real election for another society and it worked just fine so take that as you will))
