Peratorakka Server

A server for any Peratorakka client.

Peratorakka is a software system aimed to manage and track personal finances. It is made up of a client and server. In this repository, it has an implementation of the server which process the data and stores them in any compatible database. The database may be an instance of PostgreSQL server, MySQL server, or others as long as it is supported by CodeIgniter framework. CodeIgniter is the framework that Peratorakka server builds on.

There is a public server available right now for anyone to try the Peratorakka server. Use https://site--server--xtzwjgsybx5v.code.run on any compatible Peratorakka client with [email protected] as the email and 12345678 as the password. The public Peratorakka client is compatible with the public Peratorakka server. To anyone who uses the public Peratorakka server, please use the server responsibly, so others can try it.

I still outlined the instructions below in case someone wants to host an instance of Peratorakka server.

For more information on the abilities of the system, please read the author's post.

Origin

Some parts of the repository was based from filled_composer_json branch of Web Template.

The template has been specialized for back-end development.

Other parts were auto-generated using the command composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter. Therefore, any changes in composer-installable app starter development repository should be updated if necessary.

Usage

Installation

The installation steps may be a bit technical and requires admins to be knowledgeable on setting environment variables.

Server Requirements

PHP version 7.4 or higher is required, with the following extensions installed:

• intl
• mbstring

Additionally, make sure that the following extensions are enabled in your PHP:

• json (enabled by default - don't turn it off)
• mysqlnd if you plan to use MySQL
• libcurl if you plan to use the HTTP\CURLRequest library

Instructions (if you want dedicated server)

1. Copy .env.lax.example to .env and tailor the configuration for your machine, specifically the baseURL and any database settings.
2. Run composer install --no-dev. Install dependencies for production.
3. Run composer run migrate:all. It is recommended to run the command every update.

Instructions (if you want containerized server)

Below are instructions to host your application in a container. However, they are not yet clear and may vary depending on machine and admin's preferences.

1. Copy env.container.example to .env.container and tailor the configuration for your container.
2. Copy env to .env and tailor the configuration for your server, specifically the baseURL and any database settings. Note that .env is for the server inside the container while .env.container is for the container itself.
3. Use host.docker.internal for hostname to connect the database server and HTTP server correctly.
4. Run docker compose --env-file .env.container up --detach.
5. Run docker compose --env-file .env.container up --detach --build if you want to rebuild the HTTP server after receiving updates by using git pull origin master.

Initialization (for developers)

If you want to contribute, the repository should be initialized to adhere in Conventional Commits specification for organize commits and automated generation of change log.
