Demo VM

Requires Vagrant + VM Provider like VirtualBox + Google Maps API Key

• Clone this repo and make sure .sh files use unix line endings LF
• Set API Key in phpGPS_Settings.php
• Run vagrant up
• Connect at http://localhost
• Login with user/password: admin/admin

---

Development

Dockerfile and Docker-compose configs are included for easy setup on Linux/Mac. Windows + Docker is not as seamless.

Use docker-compose up to automatically load a basic mysql server and an apache+php server. The application is mounted as a volume to allow for modifying php scripts without restarts.

• Install docker and docker-compose if not already present sudo apt install docker docker-compose
• Clone this repo, ensure Unix line endings are used
• Set api key in shell export DEV_KEY=1234567890
• Launch with docker-compose up
• Connect at http://localhost:8080
• Login with user/password: admin/admin
• Control+C or docker-compose down to stop
