Running the application locally

Requirements

A Docker environment is provided and requires you to have these tools available:

• Docker
• Bash
• Castor

Castor

Once castor is installed, in order to improve your usage of castor scripts, you can install console autocompletion script.

If you are using bash:

castor completion | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/castor

If you are using something else, please refer to your shell documentation. You may need to use castor completion > /to/somewhere.

Castor supports completion for bash, zsh & fish shells.

Docker environment

The Docker infrastructure provides a web stack with:

• NGINX
• Redis
• PHP
• Traefik
• A container with some tooling:
  • Composer
  • Node
  • Yarn / NPM

Domain configuration (first time only)

Before running the application for the first time, ensure your domain names point the IP of your Docker daemon by editing your /etc/hosts file.

This IP is probably 127.0.0.1 unless you run Docker in a special VM (docker-machine, dinghy, etc).

Note: The router binds port 80 and 443, that's why it will work with 127.0.0.1

echo '127.0.0.1 secret-santa.test' | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

Using dinghy? Run dinghy ip to get the IP of the VM.

Env vars configuration (first time only)

We rely on some env variables to configure how to communicate with various API's and Redis.

Copy the content of the file .env into a new .env.local (which will be ignored by git) and fill the missing vars with correct values.

Starting the stack

Launch the stack by running this command:

castor start

Note

the first start of the stack should take a few minutes.

The site is now accessible at the hostnames your have configured over HTTPS (you may need to accept self-signed SSL certificate if you do not have mkcert installed on your computer - see below).

SSL certificates

This stack no longer embeds self-signed SSL certificates. Instead they will be generated the first time you start the infrastructure (castor start) or if you run castor infra:generate-certificates. So HTTPS will work out of the box.

If you have mkcert installed on your computer, it will be used to generate locally trusted certificates. See mkcert documentation to understand how to install it. Do not forget to install CA root from mkcert by running mkcert -install.

If you don't have mkcert, then self-signed certificates will instead be generated with openssl. You can configure infrastructure/docker/services/router/openssl.cnf to tweak certificates.

You can run castor infra:generate-certificates --force to recreate new certificates if some were already generated. Remember to restart the infrastructure to make use of the new certificates with castor up or castor start.

Builder

Having some composer, yarn or other modifications to make on the project? Start the builder which will give you access to a container with all these tools available:

castor builder
