How to install PHPCI on OpenSUSE Latest

PHPCI (PHP Continuous Integration) allows you to automatically build and test your PHP projects. In this tutorial, we'll cover how to install PHPCI on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing PHPCI, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your OpenSUSE Latest system:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Begin by opening a terminal window and updating the package manager's cache:

sudo zypper refresh

Next, install the necessary packages for PHPCI:

sudo zypper install apache2 mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-server php7 php7-devel php7-mysql php7-pdo php7-pdo_mysql php7-mbstring php7-zip php7-dom php7-xml git-core

Step 2: Install PHPCI

Once the dependencies are installed, clone the latest PHPCI source code from the GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/Block8/PHPCI.git /var/www/PHPCI

Then, navigate to the cloned directory and install PHPCI dependencies:

cd /var/www/PHPCI
composer install --no-dev

Step 3: Configure Apache

Next, we need to configure Apache to serve PHPCI. Create a new virtual host configuration file:

sudo cp /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.template /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/phptesting.org.conf

Open the virtual host file:

sudo vim /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/phptesting.org.conf

And replace its content with the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@phptesting.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/PHPCI/public
    ServerName phptesting.org
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/phptesting-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/phptesting-access_log combined

    <Directory /var/www/PHPCI/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save and exit the file. Then, enable the virtual host by creating a symbolic link to the virtual host file:

sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/phptesting.org.conf /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/100-phptesting.org.conf

Finally, restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 4: Configure Database

Create a new database and user for PHPCI:

sudo mysql -u root -p

mysql> CREATE DATABASE phpci;
mysql> CREATE USER 'phpci_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpci.* TO 'phpci_user'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;

Step 5: Configure PHPCI

Copy the PHPCI configuration file and change its settings:

cp /var/www/PHPCI/app/config/config.yml.dist /var/www/PHPCI/app/config/config.yml
vim /var/www/PHPCI/app/config/config.yml

Update the following properties in the configuration file:

database:
    driver: pdo_mysql
    host: localhost
    port: null
    dbname: phpci
    user: phpci_user
    password: password

Finally, create tables in the database:

cd /var/www/PHPCI/
./console phpci:install

Step 6: Access PHPCI

Now, you can access PHPCI in your web browser by visiting http://phptesting.org.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHPCI on OpenSUSE 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!
