Flarum for Platform.sh

This template builds Flarum on Platform.sh.

Flarum is a discussion platform. It's free and extremely extensible.

Customizations

The project was sourced from composer create-project flarum/flarum. The following changes have been implemented.

• .platform directory has been added to enable cloud deployments.
• .platformsh.template.yaml has been added to enable the Deploy on Platform button. This file is optional.
• config_base.php and deploy.php have been added to enable so that this project may automatically configure environment variables.
• .patches/platformsh_protect_app_directory.diff has been added to increase the security of Flarum. If removed, Flarum will complain that the root project directory is not writeable, which is only needed during installation. This ensures that your project remains secure.
  • This patch is applied automagically by Composer using cweagans/composer-patches

Features

• PHP 8.1
• MariaDB 10.4
• Automatic TLS certificates

Local development

This template has been configured for use with Lando. Lando is Platform.sh's recommended local development tool. It is capable of reading your Platform.sh configuration files and standing up an environment that is very similar to your Platform.sh project. Additionally, Lando can easily pull down databases and file mounts from your Platform.sh project.

To get started using Lando with your Platform.sh project check out the Quick Start or the official Lando Platform.sh documentation.

Or, after deploying your project simply run:

• lando init --recipe platformsh --src cwd --platformsh-site "$projectName"
• lando start
• lando ssh -c 'php deploy.php'
