Asciit

BSA 2015 Forum Project

A deployment on a system environment of developer:

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/m1x0n/asciit.git
   

   or by ssh:

   git clone [email protected]:m1x0n/asciit.git
   

   The command will create in the recent folder a subfolder where cloned files will be placed.

2. Create a local version of the branch development

   • Go to the project folder:

     cd asciit
     

   • Create a branch:

     git checkout development
     

3. Install the project dependencies

   composer install
   

4. Create tables in a database

   • Create a database ascit

   • Add a file with name .env in the main directory.

   • Add settings from .env.example to the file.

   • Change the database settings to correct. For example:

     DB_HOST=192.168.10.10
     DB_DATABASE=ascit
     DB_USERNAME=homestead
     DB_PASSWORD=secret
     

   • run migrations

     php artisan migrate
     

5. Seed the database by a random data

   php artisan db:seed
   

   Test users:

   email: [email protected]
   pass:  admin
   
   email: [email protected]
   pass:  cypherpunks01
   

   Rest of users have a random email and the password secret.

6. Turning on real-time updates

   6.1 Set up a delivery service from an HTTP-server to a WAMP-server

   It is possible to choose a delivery by HTTP-client GOS or the queue server
    ZMQ.
   
   - Set an appropriate abstract factory
   (```GOSWebSocketFactory``` or ```ZeroMQWebSocketFactory```)
   in ```app/Providers/WebSocketsServiceProvider.php```
   

   In case you use ZMQ, it is necessary to install ZMQ PHP-extention. There is a code for installing on Debian-based systems. Commands and package names can be different.

   • Install the ZMQ extension

     sudo apt-get install gcc make autoconf pkg-config
     sudo apt-get install libzmq-dev
     sudo pecl install zmq-beta
     

   • Add to the setting files /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini the string extension=zmq.so

   • Create a file with name zmq.ini in the folder /etc/php5/mods-available/

   • Insert to the file a string extension=zmq.so

   • Restart the PHP daemon:

   sudo service php5-fpm restart
   

   • Check if ZMQ has installed

   php5 -i | grep zmq
   

   You should see the following output:

   /etc/php5.X-sp/conf.d/zmq.ini
   zmq
   libzmq version => 2.2.0
   

   6.2 Run the WAMP-server php artisan sockets:serve

   **Important:** you have run the command on the same system environment
   as the HTTP-server. Hereby if you're use Homestead, run the command
   on a virtual machine:
   
   - Connect to the VM by ssh:
   
   ```
   ssh [email protected] -p 2222
   ```
   
   - Go to the project folder:
   
   ```
   cd Code/ascit/
   ```
   
   - Run the WAMP-server
   
   ```
   php artisan sockets:serve
   ```
