Installation: PAAS

Scalingo (ex Appsdeck)

Scalingo is the trendy European PAAS provider. See their offer here https://scalingo.com

1. git clone -b branch-2 https://github.com/netgusto/Baikal.git
2. Create your Scalingo application (let's say we call it my-baikal)
3. Add the MySQL addon to your container
4. cd Baikal
5. git remote add scalingo [email protected]:my-baikal.git
6. git push scalingo branch-2:master
7. Once the app has booted, open http://my-baikal.scalingo.io in your web browser.
8. Log in using the default account created during initialization (username: admin, password: password).
9. First thing to do then is to change your password (Upper right corner of the screen: My profile).
10. Et voilà !

One Click Deploy

Or you can even deploy Baikal without any configuration:

Heroku

Heroku is the leading American PAAS provider. See their offer here http://heroku.com

1. git clone -b branch-2 https://github.com/netgusto/Baikal.git
2. Create your Heroku app (let's say we call it my-baikal)
3. cd Baikal
4. Bind your app to Heroku: heroku git:remote -a my-baikal
5. Add the PostgreSQL addon to your app: heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql and note the name of your database (something like HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_AMBER_URL)
6. Promote the database: heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_AMBER_URL (replace HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_AMBER_URL with the name Heroku just gave you on the previous line)
7. Declare the PHP buildpack: heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-php
8. Deploy: git push heroku branch-2:master
9. Once the app has booted, open http://my-baikal.herokuapp.com in your web browser.

Installation: Classic platform (not PAAS)

Production setup

Note: for now, composer is required for the installation.

# 1. Install composer if not already installed: <https://getcomposer.org/download/>

# 2. Clone the Baïkal 2 source code
$ git clone -b branch-2 https://github.com/netgusto/Baikal.git

# 4. Enter the Baikal folder
$ cd Baikal

# 5. Initialize the application settings
$ cp app/config/defaults/data.parameters.dist.yml data/parameters.yml
$ cp app/config/defaults/data.environment.dist.yml data/environment.yml

# 6. Configure your database connection in data/environment.yml
# // open 'data/environment.yml', uncomment and edit the DATABASE_URL variable
# // By default, Baïkal will use a SQLite database stored in 'data/database.db'

# 7. Install Baïkal PHP dependencies, and initialize Baïkal
# // at the root of the project
$ composer install --optimize-autoloader

# 10. Boot the PHP built-in server (just to test the app; in production, use an HTTP server like Apache or nginx)
$ php app/console server:run --env=prod

And then open http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

Log in using the default account created during initialization (username: admin, password: password).
