Installing PHPCI on MXLinux Latest

PHPCI is an open-source continuous integration tool for PHP projects. It automates the building, testing, and deployment of PHP applications, making it a valuable tool for developers. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install PHPCI on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Linux server running MXLinux Latest
• Apache web server installed and running
• PHP 7.0 or higher installed and running
• Git installed and configured

Step 1: Clone the PHPCI Repository

Begin by cloning the PHPCI repository into your server's document root directory. The default document root on Apache web server is /var/www/html. Open a terminal and run the following command:

$ cd /var/www/html
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/Block8/PHPCI.git

Step 2: Install PHPCI Dependencies

After cloning the PHPCI repository, navigate to the PHPCI directory and install the required dependencies. Run the following commands:

$ cd PHPCI
$ sudo composer install

Step 3: Configure PHPCI

PHPCI configuration is stored in the PHPCI/config.yml file. Use your favorite text editor to open the file and edit the following configuration parameters:

sqlite:
        path: "./build.sqlite"
git:
# Replace with the path to your local git binary
        bin: '/usr/bin/git'
build:
# Replace with the path to your PHP binary
        php-bin: '/usr/bin/php'

The sqlite parameter specifies the path to the SQLite database file to store build results. You can replace ./build.sqlite with an absolute path to the SQLite database file of your choice.

The git parameter specifies the path to the Git binary file. The default path is /usr/bin/git.

The build parameter specifies the path to the PHP binary file. The default path is /usr/bin/php.

Save the changes and exit the file.

Step 4: Configure Apache Web Server

Next, ensure the Apache webserver mod_rewrite module is enabled by running the following command.

$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

Then, navigate to the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory and create a new configuration file for your PHPCI installation by running the following command:

$ cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
$ sudo touch phpci.conf

Using a text editor, open phpci.conf and paste the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/PHPCI/public
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        <Directory /var/www/html/PHPCI/public>
                Options -Indexes +FollowSymlinks
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/phpci-error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/phpci-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save the changes and exit the file.

Then, create a symbolic link to the phpci.conf file by running the following command:

$ sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/phpci.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

Finally, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes by running the following command:

$ sudo service apache2 restart

Step 5: Launch PHPCI

Now that everything is set up, you can launch PHPCI by navigating to http://localhost or your server's IP address on your web browser. You will be redirected to a PHP-console installer.

Follow the prompts to install PHPCI. That's it! You have successfully installed PHPCI on MXLinux Latest.

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!
