PHPCI is a free, open-source continuous integration (CI) tool written in PHP that allows developers to test their codebase automatically. Installing it on EndeavourOS Latest is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
If you don't have these installed yet, you can install them by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S php composer git
The first step is to clone the PHPCI repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Block8/PHPCI.git phpci
This will create a new directory called phpci that contains the PHPCI code.
Next, navigate to the phpci directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:
cd phpci
composer install
This command will download and install all the required PHP packages for PHPCI.
PHPCI needs to be configured to work correctly with your project. To do this, you'll need to create a copy of the .env.dist file and rename it to .env. You can do this by running the following command:
cp .env.dist .env
Once you've created the .env file, you can open it in a text editor and modify the settings to match your project's requirements. For example, you'll need to set the database connection details, SMTP server details, and other variables.
PHPCI requires a MySQL or PostgreSQL database to store its data. You'll need to create a new database and user for PHPCI to use. You can do this by running the following command:
mysql -u root -p
This will open the MySQL prompt. At the prompt, run the following commands to create the database and user:
CREATE DATABASE phpci;
CREATE USER 'phpci'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpci.* TO 'phpci'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace PASSWORD with a secure password for the user. Make sure to remember this password as you'll need it later.
PHPCI uses Doctrine ORM to manage its database schema. You'll need to run the following command to create the schema:
php vendor/bin/doctrine orm:schema-tool:create
This command will create the required tables in your database.
Finally, you'll need to configure your web server to serve the PHPCI application. If you're using Apache, you can create a new virtual host by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phpci.conf
And adding the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName phpci.example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/phpci/public
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/phpci-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/phpci-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace phpci.example.com with your domain name, and /path/to/phpci/public with the path to the PHPCI public directory.
Save and exit the file, and restart Apache by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
You should now be able to access PHPCI by visiting your domain name in a web browser.
That's it! You've successfully installed PHPCI on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use this powerful CI tool to test your codebase automatically and catch any issues before they reach production. Happy coding!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
