Casper Association Member Portal

The Casper Association's member portal.

This is the backend repo of the portal. To see the frontend repo, visit https://github.com/ledgerleapllc/CasperAssociationPortal

Prerequisites

• Apache/2.4.29+ (Ubuntu)
• PHP 7.4+
• MySql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.37
• Laravel Framework 8.47.0
• Git Version 2+

Setup

We generally would use the latest version of Ubuntu for testing installs. Example hosting server: AWS ec2 t2 medium with at least 10Gb SSD.

sudo apt -y install apache2
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod headers
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo apt -y install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y php7.4
sudo apt-get install -y php7.4-{bcmath,bz2,intl,gd,mbstring,mysql,zip,common,curl,xml,gmp}
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

Setup the repo according to our VHOST path. Note, the actual VHOST path in this case should be set to /var/www/CasperAssociationPortalBackend/public

cd /var/www/
git clone https://github.com/ledgerleapllc/CasperAssociationPortalBackend
cd CasperAssociationPortalBackend

Install packages and setup environment

composer install
composer update
cp .env.example .env

After adjusting .env with your variables, run Artisan to finish setup

php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan passport:install
php artisan config:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan cache:clear
(crontab -l 2>>/dev/null; echo "* * * * * cd /var/www/CasperAssociationPortalBackend && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1") | crontab -

You may also have to authorize Laravel to write to the storage directory

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data storage/

Last, you need to setup emailers to start using the portal and see it work. Visit the URL of the backend with the path /install-emailer. This will install these things for you.

php artisan config:clear

About Laravel

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:

• Simple, fast routing engine.
• Powerful dependency injection container.
• Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
• Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
• Database agnostic schema migrations.
• Robust background job processing.
• Real-time event broadcasting.

Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
