Challenge for Jobsity process

Jobsity Challenge

This is the challenge requested to me by Jobsity. Coded in PHP by me using:

• Composer
• Laravel
• SASS
• Bootstrap 4
• MariaDB database
• Apache server
• PHP version 7.2

Install instructions

Update dependencies and upgrade

sudo apt update

Install Apache web server if you don't have it already

sudo apt install apache2
#also enable mod_rewrite
sudo a2enmod rewrite

Install PHP 7.2 and required dependencies

sudo apt install php7.2 php7.2-bcmath openssl php7.2-ctype php7.2-json php7.2-mbstring php7.2-mysql php7.2-xml php7.2-zip

Install composer

sudo apt install composer

Change your directory to the desired folder on which to install the server files

cd /home/user/jobsity/hectorviov

Clone this git repository to the current folder

git clone [email protected]:hectorviov/jobsitychallenge.git

#install all dependencies
composer install

You need to create a virtual host for the Apache server

sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/jobsity-challenge.conf

Follow the example configuration below changing the needed folders to meet your needs

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName hectorviov.jobsitychallenge.com
     ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
     DocumentRoot /home/user/jobsitychallenge/hectorviov/public

     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

     <Directory /home/user/jobsitychallenge/hectorviov/public>
            AllowOverride All                
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
            Require all granted
     </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Enable the virtual host

sudo a2ensite jobsity-challenge.conf

Yo need to edit your hosts file depending on your OS. You can follow a guide in here. With the example virtual host configuration above you would add something like:

127.0.0.1		hectorviov.jobsitychallenge.com
::1             hectorviov.jobsitychallenge.com

Restart the Apache server

sudo service apache2 restart

Install the MariaDB server

sudo apt install mariadb-server

#start the server
sudo service mysql start

Open the MySQL client as root

sudo mysql

Inside the MySQL shell let's create a user which will be an admin with only access on the localhost and the database for our data:

CREATE USER 'www-data'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'changeme';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'www-data'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

CREATE DATABASE jobsity
CHARACTER SET utf8
COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
exit;

You should now change the environment variables of the project to match your settings. First copy the file .env.example as .env and edit that file, for example:

APP_NAME="Jobsity hectorviov"
APP_ENV=local

#We will generate the APP_KEY later
APP_KEY= 
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://hectorviov.jobsitychallenge.com

#You need a Twitter Bearer Token to acces a read API.
TWITTER_TOKEN=

LOG_CHANNEL=stack

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=jobsity
DB_USERNAME=www-data
DB_PASSWORD=changeme

Now generate the random APP_KEY:

php artisan key:generate

Now for some example data you should run the database seeder:

composer dump-autoload
php artisan migrate --seed

Now this will create 3 users that you can login with (username:password):

• [email protected]:changeme
• [email protected]:changeme
• [email protected]:changeme

Inside the app you can create more users if desired.

If everything went well you should be able to access http://hectorviov.jobsitychallenge.com/ and browse the app.

You can contact me via email if you need help with anything. Thank you!
