LgHS Members

Management interface for our Hackerspace members.

Install

• composer install
• create a pgsql database (See below)
• copy .env.example to .env and adapt to your configuration
• php artisan key:generate
• php artisan config:cache
• php artisan optimize
• php artisan migrate --seed
• php artisan passport:install to create keys for Oauth
• check that laravel can write to storage/ and bootstrap/cache
• point a web server to public/ directory or use php artisan serve for dev
• use admin credentials you defined in .env to login. Don't forget to change those credentials to something different and robust.

Run

Run php artisan serve to run locally.

Test

./vendor/bin/phpunit to run tests.

./vendor/bin/phpunit-watcher watch to run tests each time a file is saved.

./vendor/bin/phpunit --filter=MyTest to run a single test (also works for phpunit-watcher).

Other

Create a PGSQL Database

Install Postgresql, create a user and a database:

create database lghs_members;
create user lghs_members_root with password '<password>';
grant all on database lghs_members to lghs_members_root;

Nginx

Add this to your nginx config :

# redirect stuff to the public inner folder
location / {
   root {DOCROOT}/public;
   try_files $uri public/$uri/ /public/index.php?$query_string;
} 

# merged the stuff people suggests for laravel inside the php block
# mind the 'merge' keyword that did the trick
location ~ \.php$ { ##merge##
   fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
   fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
   fastcgi_index index.php;
   include fastcgi_params;
   fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
   fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
   fastcgi_buffer_size 16k;
   fastcgi_buffers 4 16k;
}

Testing

Add a pgsql user and a database :

create database lghs_members_test;
grant all on database lghs_members_test to lghs_members_root;

Make sure you have installed dependencies with composer install.

Then run ./vendor/bin/phpunit.

Migrating mysql to postgresql

If you are using an old database, you can use pgloader to migrate it to postgres.

First things first, install postgresql and create a database and a user.

create database lghs_members;
create user lghs_members_root with password '<password>';
grant all on database lghs_members to lghs_members_root;

Then run the below script using pgloader.

load database
     from mysql://<user>:<password>@localhost/lghs-sign-in
     into pgsql://lghs_members_root:<password>@localhost/lghs_members
-- FIXME translate sequences
 WITH include drop, create tables, no truncate,
      create indexes, reset sequences, foreign keys

 SET maintenance_work_mem to '128MB', work_mem to '12MB', search_path to '"lghs-sign-in", public'

 CAST type datetime to timestamp
                drop default drop not null using zero-dates-to-null,
      type timestamp to timestamp
                drop default drop not null using zero-dates-to-null,
      type date drop not null drop default using zero-dates-to-null,
      type tinyint to boolean drop typemod using tinyint-to-boolean

 ALTER SCHEMA 'lghs-sign-in' RENAME TO 'public'
;

After the migration, make sure the schema imported is correctly named public. To do so, open a psql console (psql lghs_members) and type \dn.

If you have two schemas:

drop schema public;
alter schema <name> rename to public;
