PHP Censor is a continuous integration server that can be used to automate the software development process. In this tutorial, we'll look at how to install PHP Censor on an Ubuntu server.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
To install PHP Censor on Ubuntu, follow these steps:
Step 1: Update the package repository
Before installing PHP Censor, update the package repository to ensure that you get the latest packages:
sudo apt update
Step 2: Install PHP Composer
PHP Censor requires PHP Composer to manage its dependencies. Install it by running:
sudo apt install composer
Step 3: Install Git
PHP Censor also requires Git to download its source code. You can install it by running:
sudo apt install git
Step 4: Clone PHP Censor
Let's now clone the PHP Censor repository to your machine. Run the following command to download the source code:
git clone https://github.com/php-censor/php-censor.git
Step 5: Install the dependencies
After cloning the repository, navigate to the project directory and use Composer to install PHP Censor's dependencies:
cd php-censor
composer install
Step 6: Configure PHP Censor
Next, we need to configure PHP Censor. Copy the .env.example file to .env by running this command:
cp .env.example .env
Step 7: Create a database
PHP Censor uses a database to keep track of the builds. You can use MySQL or PostgreSQL for this tutorial. Let's create a new MySQL database:
mysql -uroot -p -e "CREATE DATABASE php_censor;"
Step 8: Configure the database connection
In the .env file, update the database connection information to match your credentials:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=php_censor
DB_USERNAME=username
DB_PASSWORD=password
Step 9: Migrate the database
Now that the database is set up, let's run the migrations that will create the necessary tables:
php artisan migrate
Step 10: Start the server
We're now ready to start PHP Censor:
php artisan serve
If everything went well, you should be able to access the PHP Censor dashboard by navigating to http://localhost:8000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHP Censor on your Ubuntu server. You can now configure it to suit your needs and automate your software development process.
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!
