Requirements

1. PHP 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3
2. Nginx, Apache or some other web server software that supports php. Nginx is the favorite here!
3. Composer
4. Git

Installation

1. Open the terminal to your web server.
2. Execute cd /var/www/
3. Execute git clone https://github.com/ChimpGamer/NetworkManagerWebbie.git networkmanager to clone the repository.
4. Enter the directory by executing cd networkmanager
5. Configure nginx to direct all requests to the ban list application. See Nginx Configuration Example.
6. Run the composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev
7. Make sure to set the owner of the networkmanager folder to www-data:www-data by executing sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/networkmanager
8. Rename .env.example to .env by executing mv .env.example .env.
9. Configure the settings in the .env file.
10. Execute php artisan key:generate
11. You should now be able to browse to networkmanager.example.com (The Server name in your webserver configuration)

Optimizations

To improve performance there are a few things you can do. Caching! Cache the config, routes and views. You can do this by running these commands:

php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan view:cache

Nginx Configuration Example

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name networkmanager.example.com;
    root /var/www/networkmanager/public;
 
    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
 
    index index.php;
 
    charset utf-8;
 
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }
 
    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
 
    error_page 404 /index.php;
 
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
 
    location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
        deny all;
    }
}

Updating

First enter the folder that contains the web files. Then run the following commands to update:

php artisan down
git pull
composer install --no-dev
php artisan optimize:clear
php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan view:cache
php artisan up

After that it should be running just fine again.
