Gazelle Development

Docker (Recommended)

Install Docker for your preferred system and run the following command:

docker-compose up -d

This will build and pull the needed images to run Gazelle on Debian Buster. A volume is mounted from the base of the git repository at /var/www in the container. Changes to the source code are immediately served without rebuilding or restarting.

At this point, you should be able to browse to the tracker at http://localhost:9000 and access phpMyAdmin at http://localhost:9001

You may want to install additional packages:

• apt update
• apt install less procps vim

If you want to poke around inside the web container, open a shell:

export WEBCONT=$(docker ps|awk '$2 ~ /web$/ {print $1}')

docker exec -it $WEBCONT bash

To keep an eye on PHP errors during development:

docker exec -it $WEBCONT tail -n 20 -f /var/log/nginx/error.log

To create a Phinx migration:

docker exec -it $WEBCONT vendor/bin/phinx create MyNewMigration

Edit the resulting file and then apply it:

docker exec -it $WEBCONT vendor/bin/phinx migrate

To access the database, save the following in ~root/.my.cnf of the database container:

    [mysql]
    user = root
    password = <sekret>
    database = gazelle

And then:

docker exec -it $(docker ps|awk '$2 ~ /^mariadb/ {print $1}') mysql

In the same vein, you can use mysqldump to perform a backup.

Boris

You can run Boris directly:

docker exec -it $WEBCONT /var/www/boris

Production Mode (not fully baked yet)

In order to have Docker run the container using the production mode commands for both Composer and NPM, run this when powering it up:

ENV=prod docker-compose up
