Prerequisites

Before installing Indieauth, you'll need to have a web server setup with PHP and SSL already configured. In addition, you'll need to have administrative access to the server.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. SSH into your FreeBSD server as the root user.

  2. Install PHP, required PHP extensions and required dependencies:

    pkg install php74 php74-mbstring php74-curl php74-json php74-openssl php74-pdo php74-pdo_mysql
    pkg install composer
    
  3. Install Git:

  5. Install the PHP dependencies:

    cd IndieAuth
    composer install
    
  6. Configure your Indieauth deployment by creating a .env file. Use the following recommendations for the settings:

    APP_ENV=prod
    APP_DEBUG=0
    APP_SECRET=<Choose a random secret string>
    DATABASE_URL=mysql://<MYSQL_USER>:<MYSQL_PASSWORD>@<MYSQL_HOST>/<MYSQL_DBNAME>
