CoopCycle

CoopCycle is a self-hosted platform to order meals in your neighborhood and get them delivered by bike couriers. The only difference with proprietary platforms as Deliveroo or UberEats is that this software is reserved to co-ops.

The main idea is to decentralize this kind of service and to allow couriers to own the platform they are working for. In each city, couriers are encouraged to organize into co-ops, and to run their very own version of the software.

The software is under active development. If you would like to contribute we will be happy to hear from you! All instructions are in the Contribute file.

Coopcycle-web is the main repo, containing the web API, the front-end for the website and the dispatch algorithm :  Technical Overview . You can see it in action & test it here : https://demo.coopcycle.org

You can find a comprehensive list of our repos here : Our repos comprehensive list .

How to run a local instance

Prerequisites

• Install Docker and Docker Compose.

  • On OSX : use Docker for Mac which will provide you both docker and docker-compose. It doesn't rely on Virtualbox as Docker used to.

  • On Windows : use Docker for Windows which will provide you both docker and docker-compose. It doesn't rely on Virtualbox as Docker used to.

  • On Linux : follow the instructions for your distribution. docker-compose binary is to be installed independently. You can use Coopcycle without root privileges, to do so run sudo usermod -aG docker your-user (will add you to the docker group).

• Docker Sync : Sync between host source files and container can be painfully slow on OSX or Windows. We advise you to install docker-sync to speed up things. The command to start the platform on localhost would then be docker-sync start to start sync in the background, then docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-dev.yml up.

• Run the install scripts.

make install

Run the application

• Start the Docker containers

docker-compose up

• Open the platform in your browser

open http://localhost

Testing

• Create the test database

docker-compose run php bin/console doctrine:schema:create --env=test

• Launch the PHPUnit tests

make phpunit

• Launch the Behat tests

make behat

• Launch the Mocha tests

make mocha

Running migrations

When pulling change from the remote, the database models may have changed. To apply the changes, you will need to run a database migration.

make migrations-migrate
