Simplify the installation and configuration of Open Police Complaints using Composer and Docker

Open Police Complaints is a Laravel-based PHP project designed to simplify the handling of police complaints. The project requires support for multiple components, including Nginx, PHP-FPM, PostgreSQL, and Composer. My initial attempts encountered various environment configuration issues and eventually successfully solved them by using Docker and Composer.

Installation prerequisites

Before you start the installation, you need to make sure that the following tools are installed:

• Docker CE
• Docker Compose
• Git

Installation steps

Install Docker and Laravel

First, install Docker on your Mac, Windows, or online server. Then clone the Laravel project (the last tested version is v5.8.3):

 <code class="bash">$ git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel.git opc $ cd opc</code>

Install and start Laradock

Next, install and start Laradock (the last tested version is v7.14):

 <code class="bash">$ git submodule add https://github.com/Laradock/laradock.git $ cd laradock $ cp env-example .env $ docker-compose up -d nginx mysql phpmyadmin redis workspace</code>

After Docker starts the container, enter the MySQL container and use the root password "root" to make some necessary configurations. This is necessary for the latest version of MySQL:

 <code class="bash">$ docker-compose exec mysql bash # mysql --user=root --password=root default mysql> ALTER USER 'default'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'secret'; mysql> exit; $ exit</code>

At this point, you can browse PhpMyAdmin by visiting https://www.php.cn/link/3dd26ce3b599b4fc1064800673f5b833 and log in with the following credentials:

 <code>Server: mysql Username: default Password: secret</code>

Install Open Police Complaints

Finally, go to Laradock's workspace container, download and run the Open Police installation script:

 <code class="bash">$ docker-compose exec workspace bash # git clone https://github.com/flexyourrights/docker-openpolice.git # chmod x ./docker-openpolice/bin/*.sh # ./docker-openpolice/bin/openpolice-laradock-postinstall.sh # docker-compose exec workspace composer require flexyourrights/openpolice-website</code>

If everything goes well, when you visit https://www.php.cn/link/bd8193ce971b714c62ddc2291be2fd49 , you will be prompted to create a master administrator user account.

Configuration modification

If you need to modify the configuration, you can do so by editing the corresponding configuration file. The specific configuration file is located in docker-openpolice/config directory.

Summarize

By using Composer and Docker, I have successfully simplified the installation process of Open Police Complaints. Composer makes dependency management simple, while Docker provides a consistent and reproducible development environment. This combination not only improves development efficiency, but also reduces the complexity of environmental configuration. If you are working on similar PHP projects, it is highly recommended to try this approach.

Overall, the combination of Composer and Docker provides a powerful and flexible solution for the management and deployment of complex projects, greatly improving the development experience.
