jonnybarnes.uk

This is the code that runs my website, jonnybarnes.uk.

In theory this is usable by other now :D

Set up the database, this software needs PostgreSQL with the PostGIS plugin. After installing these:

$ createdb -E utf8 db_name
$ psql -d db_name -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis'

First get the code, and make sure you’re on the master branch. This branch will only have tagged releases:

$ git clone https://github.com/jonnybarnes/jonnybarnes.uk mysite.com
$ cd mysite.com
$ git checkout master

Then we need to set up the environment variables that the app will use.

$ cp .env.example .env
$ vim .env

Fill in the various variables. Then we can set up the app:

$ composer install
$ php artisan key:generate
$ php artisan migrate

Now we need to edit some config values. In config/app.php edit name, and in config/syndication.php edit it to the appropriate values or set targets to null.

Now point your server to public/index.php and viola. Essentially this is a Laravel app so debugging things shouldn’t be too hard.
