Installation

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.1
  • Required modules:
    • dom
    • json
    • mbstring
    • PDO
      • mysql
    • tokenizer
    • xml/libxml/SimpleXML
    • xmlwriter
• MySQL-Server >= 5.7.8 or MariaDB-Server >= 10.2.2
• Webserver, i.e. lighttpd, nginx, or Apache

Additional requirements if you want to build the project by yourself

• Node >= 8 (Development/Building only)
• Yarn (Development/Building only)
• PHP Composer (Development/Building only)

This should be included in your node install

• npm (Development/Building only)

Download

Stable

• Go to the Releases page and download the latest stable release file.
• Extract the files to your webroot and continue with the directions for configurations and setup.

Latest unstable

The following instructions explain how to get, build and run the latest engelsystem version directly from the git master branch (may be unstable!).

• Clone the master branch: git clone https://github.com/engelsystem/engelsystem.git
• Install Composer and Yarn (which requires Node.js)
• Install project dependencies:

  composer install
  yarn
  

  On production systems it is recommended to use

  composer install --no-dev
  composer dump-autoload --optimize
  

  to install the engelsystem
• Build the frontend assets

  yarn build
  

• Optionally (for better performance)
  • Generate translation files

    find resources/lang/ -type f -name '*.po' -exec sh -c 'file="{}"; msgfmt "${file%.*}.po" -o "${file%.*}.mo"' \;
    

Configuration and Setup

• The webserver must have write access to the import and storage directories and read access for all other directories

• The webserver must point to the public directory.

• The webserver must read the .htaccess file and mod_rewrite must be enabled

• Recommended: Directory Listing should be disabled.

• There must a be MySQL database created with a user who has full rights to that database.

• If necessary, create a config/config.php to override values from config/config.default.php.

  • To remove values from the footer_items, available_themes, locales, tshirt_sizes or headers lists the config file has to be renamed.

• To import the database the bin/migrate script has to be called. If you are not allowed to execute scripts, then execute the install-<version>.sql script. Download at Releases page.

• In the browser, login with credentials admin : asdfasdf and change the password.

Engelsystem can now be used.

Session Settings:

• Make sure the config allows for sessions.
• Both Apache and Nginx allow for different VirtualHost configurations.

Development

Since the engelsystem is open source, you can help to improve the system. We really love to get pull requests containing fixes or implementations of our Github issues.

Please create single pull requests for every feature instead of creating one big monster of pull request containing a complete rewrite.

Testing

To run the unit tests use

vendor/bin/phpunit --testsuite Unit

If a database is configured and the engelsystem is allowed to mess around with some files, you can run feature tests. The tests can potentially delete some database entries, so they should never be run on a production system!

vendor/bin/phpunit --testsuite Feature
# or for unit- and feature tests:
vendor/bin/phpunit

CI & Build Pipeline

The engelsystem can be tested and automatically deployed to a testing/staging/production environment. This functionality requires a GitLab server with a working docker runner.

To use the deployment features the following secret variables need to be defined (if undefined the step will be skipped):

SSH_PRIVATE_KEY         # The ssh private key
STAGING_REMOTE          # The staging server, e.g. user@remote.host
STAGING_REMOTE_PATH     # The path on the remote server, e.g. /var/www/engelsystem
PRODUCTION_REMOTE       # Same as STAGING_REMOTE but for the production environment
PRODUCTION_REMOTE_PATH  # Same as STAGING_REMOTE_PATH but for the production environment

Docker

Production

To build the es_nginx and the es_php_fpm containers:

cd docker
docker-compose build

or to build the containers separately

docker build -f docker/nginx/Dockerfile . -t es_nginx
docker build -f docker/Dockerfile . -t es_php_fpm

Import database

docker exec -it engelsystem_es_php_fpm_1 bin/migrate

Development

This repo ships a docker setup for a quick development start.

If you use another uid/gid than 1000 on your machine you have to adjust it in docker/dev/.env.

Run this once

cd docker/dev
docker-compose up

Run these commands once initially and then as required after changes

# Install composer dependencies
docker exec -it engelsystem_dev_es_workspace_1 composer i

# Install node packages
docker exec -it engelsystem_dev_es_workspace_1 yarn install

# Run a front-end build
docker exec -it engelsystem_dev_es_workspace_1 yarn build

# Update the translation files
docker exec -it engelsystem_dev_es_workspace_1 find /var/www/resources/lang -type f -name '*.po' -exec sh -c 'file="{}"; msgfmt "${file%.*}.po" -o "${file%.*}.mo"' \;

# Run the migrations
docker exec -it engelsystem_dev_es_workspace_1 bin/migrate

While developing you may use the watch mode to rebuild the system on changes

# Run a front-end build
docker exec -it engelsystem_dev_es_workspace_1 yarn build:watch

Hint for using Xdebug with PhpStorm

For some reason PhpStorm is unable to detect the server name. But without a server name it's impossible to set up path mappings. Because of that the docker setup sets the server name engelsystem. To get Xdebug working you have to create a server with the name engelsystem manually.

Scripts

bin/deploy.sh

The bin/deploy.sh script can be used to deploy the engelsystem. It uses rsync to deploy the application to a server over ssh.

For usage see ./bin/deploy.sh -h

bin/migrate

The bin/migrate script can be used to import and update the database of the engelsystem.

For more information on how to use it call ./bin/migrate help

Translation

We use gettext. You may use POEdit to extract new texts from the sourcecode. Please config POEdit to extract also the twig template files using the following settings: https://gist.github.com/jlambe/a868d9b63d70902a12254ce47069d0e6

Code style

Please ensure that your pull requests follow the PSR-12 coding style guide. You can check that by running

composer run phpcs

You may auto fix reported issues by running

composer run phpcbf
