Step 1: Clone the HRCloud2 Repository

Firstly, we need to clone the HRCloud2 repository on our server. You can do this by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/zelon88/HRCloud2.git

Step 2: Install Docker Compose

We need to install Docker Compose to run HRCloud2. You can use the following command to install it:

Step 3: Modify the Docker Compose File

Next, we need to modify the docker-compose.yml file that is located in the HRCloud2 directory. Open it with your favorite editor:

nano HRCloud2/docker-compose.yml

Modify the file like this:

version: '2.2'
services:
  # MariaDB database server
  db:
    image: mariadb:10
    container_name: db
    volumes:
      - db:/bitnami/mariadb
      - ./db-init.d:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
    environment:
      - MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=your_password
    networks:
      - hrcloud_network
    restart: always
  # HRCloud2 web application
  app:
    image: zelon88/hrcloud2:latest
    container_name: hrcloud2
    environment:
      - APP_ENV=production
      - APP_URL=http://localhost:8080
      - DB_HOST=db
      - DB_PORT=3306
      - DB_DATABASE=hrcloud
      - DB_USERNAME=root
      - DB_PASSWORD=your_password
      - LOG_CHANNEL=stderr
    volumes:
      - app:/var/www/hrcloud2
    ports:

    networks:
      - hrcloud_network
    restart: always
volumes:
  db:
  app:
networks:
  hrcloud_network:

Make sure you replace the your_password with your own password.

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Build HRCloud2

Now, we need to build and start the HRCloud2 image. Run the following command in the HRCloud2 directory:

docker-compose up -d

This might take a few minutes.

Once the build is done, HRCloud2 should be running on port 8080.
