Deployment

The following configuration ensures optimal Nginx performance. Ensure that URLs are properly configured in the .env file according to your nginx nameservers.

Copy the /app directory to /var/www/html on the target server for installation.

Import Database

Use phpMyAdmin or a MySQL management tool such as HeidiSQL to import /app/database/pressify-v1.0.sql into the database configured in your .env file with the corresponding authentication credentials.

Using Command Line

bash

php artisan pressify:dbinit

Default Administrator Account

Email: [email protected]
Password: Z1p@1234

Manual Installation

Schedule CronJob

Configure a CronJob on the server to ensure scheduled post publishing, sitemap generation, traffic synchronization, and real-time traffic broadcasting.

bash

* * * * * root cd /var/www/html && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Customize the schedule in /app/routes/console.php

Supervisord Configuration

You can set up automatic process management through Supervisord using the following configuration:

bash

[program:pressify-horizon]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/html/artisan horizon
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stopasgroup=true
killasgroup=true
user=root
numprocs=1
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/pressify-horizon.log
stopwaitsecs=3600

[program:pressify-reverb]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/html/artisan reverb:start
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stopasgroup=true
killasgroup=true
user=root
numprocs=1
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/pressify-reverb.log
stopwaitsecs=3600

[program:pressify-queue-scout]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/html/artisan queue:work database --queue=scout
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stopasgroup=true
killasgroup=true
user=root
numprocs=1
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/pressify-queue-scout.log
stopwaitsecs=3600

Or run manually:

Execute php /var/www/html/artisan horizon
Execute php /var/www/html/artisan reverb:start to start the socket server for displaying real-time post traffic analytics.
Execute php /var/www/html/artisan queue:work database --queue=scout for indexing posts into Typesense

Scout Index

Execute php artisan scout:import "App\Models\Post" to index posts into Typesense.

Warm Post Cache

Execute php artisan cache:warm-post to regenerate the cache for all posts currently in the database. This command only needs to be run once during initial setup.

FastCGI Configuration

Refer to the pre-configured settings in /.docker-php/8.3/rootfs/etc/nginx

Docker Installation

Update the nginx configuration in /home/tsspress/.docker-php/8.3/rootfs/etc/nginx/conf.d/tsspress.conf:

Start the Containers

bash

docker-compose --env-file=./app/.env up -d --build

Initialize Sample Database

bash

docker exec -it pressify-app sh
php artisan pressify:dbinit

Scout Index

Execute php artisan scout:import "App\Models\Post" to index posts into Typesense.

Configure Host File

Add the following entries to your Windows hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts):

If running Docker on WSL with Docker Desktop, use 127.0.0.1. Otherwise, replace 127.0.0.1 with your WSL IP address (find it using ip addr show eth0 in WSL).

bash

127.0.0.1 pressify.local
127.0.0.1 cms.pressify.local
127.0.0.1 img.pressify.local
127.0.0.1 video.pressify.local
127.0.0.1 audio.pressify.local
127.0.0.1 file.pressify.local
127.0.0.1 socket.pressify.local
