Installation

You need PHP >= 7.1 and a running mysql server.

# clone repo
git clone $repo-url folder

cd folder

# install php dependencies
composer install

# copy .env.example
cp .env.example .env

Edit the following values in the .env file:

DB_* - connection to the database, should be self explanatory.

APP_DEBUG - true for dev, false for production

MAILCHIMP_* - MailChimp settings

MAIL_FROM_* - Sender data for emails.

MAIL_* - Email settings.

Now generate an encryption key for sessions.

php artisan key:generate

Migrate the database:

php artisan migrate

Fetch CMC data once so we have "something":

php artisan pascal:dumpcmc

Setup a cron. This will periodically pull coinmarketcap data, maybe other stuff later on. Scheduling is done within the application.

* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Webserver

Webserver configuration can be found here:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.6#web-server-configuration

Run the following commands:

# install javascript dependencies
npm install

# build js on the fly on changes

Change .env settings:

php artisan pascal:pip

# use local php webserver for simplicity
php artisan serve
