Installing an official release is described in the manual and in the release notes of each release.

Please only install a Development environment if you intend make code changes to Xibo. Installing from the repository is not suitable for a production installation.

Xibo uses Docker to ensure all contributors have a repeatable development environment which is easy to get up and running.

The very same Docker containers are used in our recommended end user installation to promote consistency from development to deployment.

To these ends this repository includes a docker-compose.yml file to spin up a model development environment.

The development Docker containers do not automatically build vendor files for PHP or JS, this is left as a developer responsibility. Therefore you will need the following tools:

• Git
• Composer
• NPM (coming in 2.0)
• Docker

Create a folder in your development workspace and clone the repository. If you intend to make changes and submit pull requests please Fork us first and create a new branch.

git clone [email protected]:<your_id>/xibo-cms.git xibo-cms

Change into your new folder

cd xibo-cms

We recommend installing the dependencies via Docker, so that you are guarenteed consistent dependencies across different development machines.

docker run --interactive --tty --volume $PWD:/app --volume ~/.composer:/tmp composer install

This command also mounts the Composer /tmp folder into your home directory so that you can take advantage of Composer caching.

docker run -it --volume $PWD:/app --volume ~/.npm:/root/.npm -w /app node:latest sh -c "npm install webpack -g; npm install; npm run build;"

The development version of Xibo expects the code base to be mapped into the container such that changes on the host are reflected in the container.

However, the container itself creates some files, such as the twig cache and library uploads. These locations will need to be created and the container given access to them.

The easiest way to do this is to make the cache and library folders and chmod 777 them. Obviously this is not suitable for production, but you shouldn't be using these files for production (we have containers for that).

Use Docker Compose to bring up the containers.

docker-compose up --build -d

After the containers have come up you should be able to login with the details:

U: xibo_admin P: password

To parse the translations:

rm -R ./cache
docker-compose exec web sh -c "cd /var/www/cms; php bin/locale.php"

find ./locale ./cache ./lib ./web  -iname "*.php" -print0 | xargs -0 xgettext --from-code=UTF-8 -k_e -k_x -k__ -o locale/default.pot

To import translations:

bzr pull lp:~dangarner/xibo/swift-translations

Convert to mo format:

for i in *.po; do msgfmt "$i" -o $(echo $i | sed s/po/mo/); done

Move the resulting mo files into your locale folder.

To generate a swagger.json file, with the dev containers running:

docker-compose exec web sh -c "cd /var/www/cms; vendor/bin/swagger lib -o web/swagger.json"

To find out more about the application code and how everything fits together, please refer to the developer docs.
