Introduction

AltStack is a boilerplate meant to standardize much of the setup that almost every web application needs. Reclaim your first few hours of development on every new project by allowing AltStack to give you a little speed boost. This is the Laravel template use Tailwind and Alpine.js as default preset and ships with some goodies.

I'm using this template for (nearly) all my personal projects and professional projects, but you may use my template but please notice that we offer no support whatsoever. We won't guarantee that the code (especially the main branch) is stable.

In short: when using this, you're on your own.

Quick Start

At least you will need PHP >= 8.0 and Nodejs >= 14.19. For database backend, you can choose between PostgreSQL >= 10 or MySQL >= 5.7 or MariaDB >= 10.3 or any other database engine that supported by Laravel. Also, you maybe want to use Redis >= 5.x for session store and or caching storage. Docker >= 20.10 may required when developing using Laravel Sail.

By default I'm using PostgreSQL for main database. But, you can change it via .env configuration file.

Prepare the database

-- If using PostgreSQL: sudo -u postgres psql
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS "altstack"; DROP ROLE IF EXISTS "altstack";
CREATE ROLE "altstack" SUPERUSER CREATEDB CREATEROLE LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'passw0rd';
CREATE DATABASE "altstack"; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE "altstack" TO "altstack";

-- If using MariaDB 10.x: mysql -uroot -p
DROP USER IF EXISTS `altstack`@`localhost`;
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `altstack`; CREATE DATABASE `altstack`;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `altstack`.* TO `altstack`@`localhost` 
  IDENTIFIED BY 'passw0rd' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Create New Project

# Use latest version:
composer create-project riipandi/altstack <app_name>

# If you want to use spesific version:
composer create-project riipandi/altstack <app_name> <version>

Change <app_name> with your own and <version> with release version. See release page for the version number.

Package Version

The versioning number will follow the release of the Laravel version, followed by the package release number:

x.y  =>  x is Laravel version, y are AltStack version.
7.5  =>  Laravel 7.x.x, AltStack revision 5.

Local Installation

Edit or create .env file and then execute:

# Initialize project and dependencies
composer install --no-suggest
sail|php artisan key:generate
sail|php artisan migrate:fresh --seed
sail|php artisan storage:link

# Compiling resources
yarn install --non-interactive
yarn dev

Default username is admin with secret for the password.

Example Deployment

# Clone the project
sudo mkdir -p /srv/altstack ; cd $_
sudo chown -R $(whoami): /srv/altstack
