# Getting Started
|
|
To get started, there are 3 main steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Cloning & building the application
|
|
2. Configuring the application
|
|
3. Configuration a web server
|
|
|
|
The process is outlined in detail below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## System Requirements
|
|
- Git
|
|
- Bash (if on Windows, try [Git Bash](https://gitforwindows.org/)) - the build script is written in Bash
|
|
- PHP 7+ enabled web server
|
|
- _Nginx_ + _PHP-FPM_ is recommended
|
|
- Apache works too
|
|
- MariaDB database with the appropriate table structure pre-loaded
|
|
- Node.JS (preferably 10+) + [npm](https://npmjs.org/) 6+ (for installing & building the client-side app code)
|
|
- [Node.JS](https://nodejs.org/)
|
|
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) (for installing server-side dependencies)
|
|
- PHP modules:
|
|
- `pdo-mysql` (for the database connection)
|
|
- A [MariaDB](https://mariadb.com/) server with a database already setup with the schema data in it. Please get in contact with [ConnectedHumber](https://connectedhumber.org/) for information about the database schema and structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
1. Start by cloning this repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ConnectedHumber/Air-Quality-Web.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. `cd` into the root of the cloned repository. Then install the dependencies (these are installed locally):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build setup setup-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Build the client-side application:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# For development, run this:
|
|
./build client
|
|
# For production, run this:
|
|
NODE_ENV=production ./build client
|
|
# If you're actively working on the codebase and need to auto-recompile on every change, run this:
|
|
./build client-watch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Change the ownership to allow your web server user to access the created directory. Usually, the web server will be running under the `www-data` user:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data path/to/Air-Quality-Web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Edit `data/settings.toml` to enter your database credentials.
|
|
|
|
You can edit other settings here too. See `settings.default.toml` for the settings you can change, but do **not** edit `settings.default.toml`! Edit `data/settings.toml` instead. You'll probably want to give the entire default settings file a careful read.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Configure your web server to serve the root of the repository you've cloned if you haven't already. Skip this step if you cloned the repository into a directory that your web server already serves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Disallow public access to the private `data` directory.
|
|
|
|
In Nginx:
|
|
|
|
```nginx
|
|
# Put this inside the "server { }" website definition block:
|
|
# The "server { }" block can usually be found somewhere in /etc/nginx on Linux machines, and may have a "server_name" directive specifying the domain name it's serving if multiple websites are configured.
|
|
location ^~ /path/to/data/directory {
|
|
deny all;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In Apache:
|
|
|
|
```htaccess
|
|
# Create a file called ".htaccess" with this content inside the data/ directory
|
|
Require all denied
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Test the application with an API call. If this returns valid JSON, then you've set it up correctly
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
http://example.com/path/to/Air-Quality-Web/api.php?action=list-devices
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. (Optional) Setup HTTPS:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install certbot
|
|
# On Nginx:
|
|
sudo certbot --nginx --domain example.com
|
|
# On Apache:
|
|
sudo certbot --apache --domain example.com
|
|
```
