How to install ?

[ildyria]

It would be nice if we document the following processes:

• installing Lychee-Laravel
• migrating from Lychee to Lychee-Laravel

[bennettscience]

Do we want to add wiki pages to this repo? Or commit them to the lychee main repo as a PR?

There is currently no documentation at all for this project.

At least provide some details about the steps, how to get it running:

• download or clone the repo
• run 'composer install --no-dev'
• copy .env.example to .env
• run 'php artisan key:generate'
• edit .env and add all necessary settings (which are necessary beside the DB settings?!)
• run 'php artisan migrate'
• run 'php artisan serve'

Point your browser to the running server and enjoy Lychee ;-)

[bennettscience]

I'll add it to the docs submodule so it can be committed at the same time as the update.

@erdmenchen actually I recommend against the php artisan server this is just if you don't have a web server, normally you should just point your normal server to /whatever/path/you/chose/Lychee-Laravel/public/. :)

(which are necessary beside the DB settings?!)

Some settings are related to HSTS

[erdmenchen]

yes, but my described steps are all dev related.
A "normal" user should not have to run these. A simple zip file and an installer (like wordpress) should be the general approach...

[ildyria]

Right, this is why the release process on Lychee (classic) requires us to upload the zip file. :)

As for creating an installer... this is a slightly more annoying problem as some of our users do not have ssh access to their server. Thus editing the .env is a bit more complex...

[ildyria]

Base dependencies (debian testing):

apt install libapache2-mod-php7.3
apt install git
apt install php7.3-mysql
apt install php7.3-imagick
apt install php7.3-mbstring
apt install php7.3-json
apt install php7.3-gd
apt install php7.3-xml
apt install php7.3-zip
apt install mariadb-server
apt install composer

access the server.

mysql

create the database and users:

create database lychee;
CREATE USER lychee@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO lychee@localhost WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Clone the repo

cd /var/www/html
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee-Laravel.git

Set things up:

cd Lychee-Laravel
cp .env.example .env
# edit .env to match the parameters

# install php libraries.
composer install --no-dev

# generate the key (to make sure that cookies cannot be decrypted etc)
./artisan key:generate

# migrate the database
./artisan migrate

Laravel requires mode rewrite to be enabled:

a2enmod rewrite

add to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

<Directory /var/www/html/Lychee-Laravel>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride All
	Require all granted
</Directory>

create example.com.conf in /etc/apache2/site-available/

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName example.com

	DocumentRoot /var/www/html/Lychee-Laravel/public

	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

enable the site:

a2ensite `example.com.conf`

Restart apache2:

systemctl restart apache2

Use your favorite browser and access your Lychee server (e.g. via http://localhost/Lychee-Laravel/public or example.com).
