Changelog

  • 2018.04.24 - Chris - Updated with detailed setup instructions

Requirements

  • PHP >=5.5.9
  • MySQL server as per standard Laravel app requirements (local or remote - doesn't matter as long as the web server can access)

Requirements - Full VM Deployment

  • A copy of web-server.yaml from this repo
  • The web-server.yaml file will need to be uploaded to the container you choose during the wizard
  • To make parameter entry easy, you can click 'Need cluster details? Click here!' then 'Get Details'. Click the container name you want to use, the network UUID you want to use and the disk UUID you want to use.
  • An Acropolis-hosted CentOS image with Cloud-Init preinstalled

Detailed Installation Steps (OS X & Linux)

  • Ensure PHP Composer is available on the target web server
  • Ensure MySQL is available, including credentials to access it remotely
  • Clone repo from this location
  • Install Composer dependencies:
composer install
  • Run Composer update, to make sure packages are latest (not really required, but you never know)
composer update
  • Create a file called .env in the project root. You can use .env.example as a base for this file
  • Edit the .env parameters, particularly the MySQL database connection parameters
  • Generate the Laravel application key:
php artisan key:generate
