How to install it

Docker has been used for this project's environment, thus, if you use Docker in your everyday workflow, it should be easy to install it although there aren't any Makefile.

Used ports :

• 8080 for adminer container
• 1080 for maildev container
• 3306 for mysql container
• none for node container
• 80 for php / nginx container

1. Create a .env file using those values. User and Password are the same everywhere (excluding website's back-office)

    MYSQL_USER=olivia #Or the name of your choice
    MYSQL_PASSWORD=password
    MYSQL_DATABASE=portfolio
    MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root

2. Launch Docker Apply those commands in your terminal :

   2.1 Launch containers

   docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d
   

   2.2 Install PHP bundles

   docker-compose exec php composer install
   

   2.3 Install NPM packages

   docker-compose exec node npm install
   

3. Create database tables. This project uses Adminer, you can connect to it using the credentials from step 1 in localhost:8080. Server name is mysql and database name is portfolio or the name you choice. If you changed, please check portfolio.sql. While using Adminer, you can create database's tables using the SQL tool "SQL Query". Disregard first 3 lines, there are there in case something bad happens.

4. Once the database is created, you can create the fixtures. In ./app/public/index.php, paste this line:

require_once dirname(__DIR__).'/src/DataFixtures/UserFixtures.php';

Reload localhost, then remove it. Then paste those 2 lines:

require_once dirname(__DIR__).'/src/DataFixtures/ArticleFixtures.php';
require_once dirname(__DIR__).'/src/DataFixtures/CommentFixtures.php';

Reload localhost, then remove them. Your fixtures are created!

5. If you want to log in for the Admin Section, check user's table. Credentials are created when fixtures are created.
