In order to comply with security policies in a production environment, we highly recommend deploying it locally on the server. We do not provide related online initialization installation functions for the time being. Therefore, although there are many steps in early deployment, a large part of the process has been automated for everyone. You only need to follow the following commands to execute step by step. Generally, there will be no deployment problems.
1. Install the PHP environment for your computer, refer to PHP official.
2. Install mariaDB on your computer, and there is the mariadb-client client tool that can be used. Generally, MariaDB will be installed automatically after installation. If you are on Ubuntu, you may need to execute sudo apt install mariadb-client for installation.
3. Create a database and name it arbitrarily, but remember to fill in the configuration correctly and the database character set must be utf8-general-ci.
4. Download the distribution version, unzip it to get the program directory, and place it where you want to place it.
5. In the project root directory, copy the .env.example file to a new one and rename it to .env.
6. Configure database information in .env.
7. Execute php artisan chemex:install to install.
8. The web servers you may use are nginx and apache. In any case, the starting path of the application is in the /public directory. Please make sure the pointing is correct.
9. Modify the pseudo-static rules of the web server to try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;.
10. In order to ensure that online automatic updates are available, please confirm that the permissions of the website root directory and all subdirectories are 755, and the owner is www.
Developers who are interested in this are welcome to collaborate on development to make Chemex more perfect. The development process is relatively simple, without too many environment configurations and changes.
