In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install PHPCI on NixOS Latest. PHPCI is an open-source continuous integration tool that can be used to test and deploy web applications.
Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that you have:
PHPCI requires PHP 7.1 or later. To install PHP, run the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.php
You can verify the installation by running these commands:
php -v
Create a new PHP project:
composer create-project block8/phpci --keep-vcs
This command will create a new PHP project in the current directory.
Install Dependencies:
composer install
Configure PHPCI:
sudo nano phpci.yml
You can set your database credentials and other settings in this file.
Setup Database:
./console phpci:install
This command will create the required database schema and tables.
Configure Web Server:
You can use any web server of your choice. Here, we will use Nginx.
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.nginx
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Add the following configuration at the end of the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your-domain.com;
root /path/to/phpci/public;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "error_log=/var/log/nginx/php.log";
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Replace your-domain.com
and /path/to/phpci/public
with your own values.
Restart Nginx:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Open your web browser and enter the URL of your PHPCI installation. You should see the PHPCI dashboard.
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps required to install PHPCI on NixOS Latest. You can now use PHPCI to test and deploy your web applications.
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!
