How to Install PHP Censor on Void Linux

PHP Censor is an open source continuous integration framework written in PHP that helps automate the building and testing of your software projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of setting up PHP Censor on Void Linux.

Installing Dependencies

Before we start installing PHP Censor on Void Linux, we need to install some dependencies. Open a terminal window and run the following command.

sudo xbps-install -S php-cli php-pdo php-dom php-mbstring php-xml curl

This command will install the necessary dependencies required for PHP Censor to run smoothly.

Installing PHP Censor

Next, we need to download and install PHP Censor. Open a terminal window and run the following commands.

git clone https://github.com/php-censor/php-censor.git
cd php-censor
cp ./app/config.dist.yml ./app/config.yml

These commands will clone the PHP Censor repository from GitHub, change into the newly created directory, and copy the sample configuration file to a new configuration file that PHP Censor can use.

Configuring PHP Censor

Now that we have PHP Censor downloaded and installed, we need to configure it to suit our needs. Open the configuration file located at php-censor/app/config.yml in a text editor and modify the settings as necessary.

For example, you may want to change the database connection settings, the email settings, or the build directory settings. Save the changes to the configuration file when you're done.

Starting PHP Censor

After we have configured PHP Censor, we can start the PHP Censor daemon by running the following command in the terminal window.

./console build:daemon

This command will start the PHP Censor daemon, which will run in the background and monitor for any changes in the repository. Whenever a change is detected, PHP Censor will automatically build and test your project.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured PHP Censor on Void Linux. By automating your build and test process with PHP Censor, you can save time and improve the quality of your codebase.

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!
