How to Install PHP Censor on Fedora CoreOS

PHP Censor is an open-source continuous integration tool designed to help developers automate building, testing, and deploying software. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install PHP Censor on Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

  • Fedora CoreOS installed.
  • Access to the command-line terminal with root-level permissions.

Step 1 – Updating the system

To ensure that your system is up to date, execute the following commands:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2 – Installing Required Dependencies

PHP Censor needs the following dependencies to be installed:

  • PHP (>= 5.3)
  • MySQL or SQLite (Recommended)
  • Node.js (>= 0.10.x)
  • Composer

You can use the following command to install them:

sudo dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-xml php-process php-posix php-gd mysql php-pecl-apcu sqlite composer nodejs -y

Step 3 – Install Git

PHP Censor is an open-source project hosted on Github, and we need Git to download the project files. You can install Git by executing the following command:

sudo dnf install git -y

Step 4 – Download PHP Censor

Use the Git clone command to download PHP Censor from its official Github repository.

sudo git clone https://github.com/php-censor/php-censor.git /var/www/html/php-censor

After downloading the project files, navigate to the newly created directory /var/www/html/php-censor.

cd /var/www/html/php-censor

Step 5 – Install PHP Censor

Next, run the following command to install PHP Censor:

sudo composer install

After the installation is complete, you should see the vendor directory created. Ensure that you have read/write permissions to it.

sudo chmod 777 -R /var/www/html/php-censor/vendor

Step 6 – Configure PHP Censor

PHP Censor uses a configuration file located at /var/www/html/php-censor/config.yml. To make it functional, you'll need to configure the file with the appropriate database connection information:

database:
  type: "pdo"
  dsn: "mysql:host=localhost;port=3306;dbname=php_censor"
  username: "root"
  password: "password"
  prefix: "pc_"

Ensure that you replace localhost, 3306, php_censor, root, and password with your database hostname, port, database name, username, and password, respectively.

Step 7 – Start PHP Server

To start the PHP server, navigate to the directory containing PHP Censor files and execute the following command:

php bin/console server:run

By default, PHP Censor will start on port 8000.

Step 8 – Accessing PHP Censor via Web Browser

Now, launch your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to access your PHP Censor application.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHP Censor on your Fedora CoreOS latest installation. You can start building, testing, and deploying your applications using PHP Censor.
